Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0026033201 are qualified based on strict equivalence of the following parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (20), pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging inline), contact termination method (crimp), color (natural), and insulation material composition (polyamide/nylon). Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. The two identified substitutes maintain full parametric alignment with these core specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and meet RoHS compliance requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance. The Molex 0026033201 and Molex 0009507201 share identical manufacturer origin and ROHS3 compliance certification. The TE Connectivity 2-640251-0 provides cross-manufacturer equivalence with standard RoHS compliance and documented operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Selection between these parts depends on supply chain requirements, inventory availability, and manufacturer preference within the design specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-640251-0 directly replace the Molex 0026033201 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 20-position receptacle housings with 0.156" pitch, single-row configuration, free-hanging inline mounting, and crimp termination. Housing dimensions and contact interface specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the two Molex parts (0026033201 and 0009507201)?

A: Both are Molex 20-position receptacle housings with 0.156" pitch and identical mechanical specifications. They differ in series designation (KK396/6442 versus KK396/2139) and base product number (002603 versus 000950), but maintain full parametric equivalence for substitution purposes.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: Do these parts have operating temperature ratings?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-640251-0 specifies -55°C to 105°C operating range. Operating temperature data is not provided for the Molex parts in the available specifications.

Q: What is the significance of MSL Rating 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity level, meaning these components do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
