Molex 0010633024 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0010633024 is a 2-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 5.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications using crimp termination and friction lock fastening. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning. Active alternatives are available from manufacturers including Hirose Electric and TE Connectivity that maintain compatibility across critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0010633024 are classified based on alignment with the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (2), pitch (5.00mm), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), and termination method (crimp). All listed substitutes maintain these core specifications.

The substitutes are grouped into two categories:

MFR Recommended Equivalent: DF5A-2S-5C (Hirose Electric) represents the manufacturer-recommended alternative, maintaining all critical parameters while offering active product status and enhanced operating temperature range.

Parametric Equivalents: 6-928344-2 and 8-928344-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) satisfy all core electrical and mechanical requirements, with the distinction of retaining friction lock fastening identical to the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct mechanical and electrical compatibility: TE Connectivity parts 6-928344-2 and 8-928344-2 are preferred selections. Both maintain friction lock fastening identical to the original Molex design, ensuring compatibility with existing mating connectors and assembly procedures. Both parts carry active product status with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 105°C), providing superior environmental performance compared to the obsolete original.

For alternative fastening architecture: Hirose DF5A-2S-5C offers active product status and ROHS3 compliance with latch holder fastening. This part introduces a different mechanical interface (latch holder versus friction lock) and requires assessment of mating connector compatibility. The operating temperature range (-35°C to 85°C) is narrower than TE Connectivity alternatives.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the Hirose DF5A-2S-5C as a direct replacement for the Molex 0010633024?

A: The Hirose part maintains all critical electrical parameters and pitch specifications. However, the fastening mechanism differs (latch holder versus friction lock). Compatibility depends on whether your mating connector is designed for latch holder engagement. Mechanical interface verification is required before implementation.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 6-928344-2 and 8-928344-2?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The distinction is housing color (green versus gray). Selection between these parts is based on color coding requirements or inventory availability. Both retain friction lock fastening matching the original Molex design.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes—Hirose DF5A-2S-5C, TE Connectivity 6-928344-2, and TE Connectivity 8-928344-2—are ROHS3 compliant, matching the original Molex 0010633024 specification.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connector housings?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. All listed parts, including the original and substitutes, carry this rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Q: Why is the original Molex part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. Active alternatives from Hirose and TE Connectivity provide equivalent functionality with ongoing manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. All parts listed—original and substitutes—are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with the housing.
