Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0334713343 directly replace the 0334710343 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and contact termination. The 0334713343 is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The 0334710343 uses polyester insulation, while the 0334713343 uses Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) with glass fill. The SPS material provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0334710343 and 0334713343 meet ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 0334710343 listed as obsolete?

A: The 0334710343 has been superseded by the 0334713343 in Molex's active product line. The newer part incorporates improved material specifications while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The 0334713343 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production and assembly operations.

Q: Are contacts included with either housing?

A: No. Both the 0334710343 and 0334713343 are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute part?

A: The 0334710343 specifies -40°C to 125°C. Operating temperature data for the 0334713343 was not provided in the available specifications.
