Molex 0026033151 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0026033151 is a 15-position rectangular connector housing with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This receptacle housing is part of the KK396 and 6442 series and is currently in active production status. The housing accommodates crimp-terminated contacts and is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon material. Finding equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to supply chain considerations, lead time requirements, or design standardization across manufacturing platforms.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0026033151 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
• Number of Positions: Must be 15
• Pitch: Must be 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 1
• Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Must be Crimp
• Color: Must be Natural

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-640251-5 meets all substitution criteria. Both housings are single-row, 15-position receptacles with identical pitch and mounting configuration, designed for crimp contact termination in natural color.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0026033151 and TE Connectivity 1-640251-5 are active production parts with full regulatory compliance. The Molex part carries ROHS3 certification, while the TE Connectivity substitute is RoHS compliant. Both housings meet MSL Level 1 requirements and are suitable for unlimited moisture exposure conditions. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and procurement requirements, as all critical electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-640251-5 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0026033151?

A: Yes. Both parts are 15-position, single-row receptacle housings with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, free-hanging in-line mounting, and crimp contact termination. All critical substitution parameters align.

Q: Are there any material differences between these housings?

A: Both use polyamide nylon insulation material. The Molex part specifies PA66 (Nylon 6/6), while the TE Connectivity part specifies PA (Nylon). Both materials are functionally equivalent for this application.

Q: Do these housings require specific contact types?

A: Both housings are designed for crimp-terminated contacts. Contact selection must be based on the mating connector requirements and wire gauge specifications, which are independent of housing substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification?

A: The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch determines the spacing between contact positions. Both parts share identical pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with the same contact and mating connector designs.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: The Molex part is ROHS3 compliant, while the TE Connectivity part is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for their respective markets. REACH status differs (Molex: REACH Unaffected; TE Connectivity: Vendor Undefined), but this does not affect substitution eligibility.
