Molex 0334710403 MX150 Rectangular Connector Assembly Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334710403 is a MX150 Series rectangular connector assembly configured as a 1.5mm pitch receptacle housing in a 1x4 position arrangement with brown coloring. This component functions as a connector housing for rectangular connector systems used in electronic assemblies requiring reliable mating interfaces.

The 0334710403 carries an Obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. Locating functionally equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, support legacy system repairs, and ensure component availability for ongoing manufacturing or field service applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334710403 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Molex
• Series: MX150
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch: 1.5mm (0.138")
• Number of Rows: 1
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder

The substitute part 0334710462 satisfies all primary substitution criteria. Both components are MX150 Series receptacle housings with identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications: 4-position, 1-row configuration with 1.5mm pitch and crimp termination. The primary distinction between these parts is the housing color (brown versus gray) and product status (obsolete versus active).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0334710462 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 0334710403. Both components share identical MX150 Series specifications for receptacle housing configuration, position count, pitch, and termination method, establishing direct functional equivalence.

The transition from 0334710403 to 0334710462 is supported by:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part carries Active status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support from Molex, whereas the original part is Obsolete and subject to supply discontinuation.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain EAR99 export classification. The original part is explicitly RoHS Compliant; the substitute part does not specify RoHS status in the provided data but is manufactured by Molex under current production standards.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Identical pitch (1.5mm), position count (4), row configuration (1), contact termination (crimp), and fastening mechanism (latch holder) ensure direct interchangeability in connector mating applications.

The housing color difference (brown to gray) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection between these parts should be based on design requirements for housing color identification or marking conventions within the assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0334710462 directly replace the 0334710403 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are MX150 Series receptacle housings with identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 4-position, 1-row, 1.5mm pitch configuration with crimp termination and latch fastening. Direct substitution is supported by matching interface parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between brown and gray housings?

A: Housing color serves as a visual identifier for connector type, series, or assembly designation within manufacturing and field service workflows. The color difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection should align with existing design documentation or assembly color-coding standards.

Q: Why is the 0334710403 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Molex and is subject to supply depletion. The 0334710462 is the active production equivalent, ensuring long-term component availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0334710403 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The 0334710462 is supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect component function or interchangeability.

Q: What operating temperature range applies to these connectors?

A: The 0334710403 operating temperature is not specified in the available data. The 0334710462 operates across -40°C to 125°C. For applications requiring temperature specification confirmation, consult the complete technical datasheet for the 0334710403 or verify compatibility with the 0334710462 temperature range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: The 0334710403 is explicitly RoHS Compliant. The 0334710462 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data. Current Molex production typically maintains RoHS compliance; verify specific compliance requirements through Molex technical documentation if RoHS certification is a design requirement.
