Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0026033241 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
• Number of Positions: Must be 24
• 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
• Insulation Material: Must be Polyamide or Nylon-based
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2-640251-4 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0026033241 and TE Connectivity 2-640251-4 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, supply chain logistics, or design documentation requirements. The TE Connectivity part is designated as a manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains equivalent electrical and mechanical performance characteristics for 24-position, 3.96mm pitch crimp receptacle applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-640251-4 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0026033241?

A: Yes. Both parts are 24-position receptacle housings with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, crimp termination, and identical mounting configuration. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Q: Are there any material differences between these housings?

A: Both housings 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 category.

Q: Do these parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Both housings are designed for crimp termination and accommodate the same pitch and position count. Contact compatibility must be verified against the specific contact part numbers used in your assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0026033241 and TE Connectivity 2-640251-4 maintain full ROHS3 compliance.
