Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0334710607 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Free hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch holder fastening type
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range and compliance certifications

The substitute part Molex 0334716007 maintains identical specifications for all core functional parameters while offering an active product status and enhanced material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0334716007 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete Molex 0334710607. Both parts share identical functional specifications across all critical connector parameters: 6-position receptacle housing, 0.138" pitch, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Molex, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Enhanced Operating Temperature: Extended upper temperature limit of 150°C versus 125°C provides additional thermal margin
• Improved Material Composition: Glass-filled Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) insulation offers superior mechanical and thermal properties compared to polyester
• Compliance Certifications: RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating, suitable for standard manufacturing environments

For applications currently using the 0334710607, direct substitution with the 0334716007 is supported without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0334716007 be used as a direct replacement for the 0334710607?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method. The substitute part is fully compatible with existing designs and PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: The 0334710607 operates from -40°C to 125°C, while the 0334716007 extends to 150°C. For applications within the original -40°C to 125°C range, both parts perform equivalently. The substitute provides additional thermal headroom for higher-temperature environments.

Q: Are the insulation materials interchangeable?

A: Yes. The polyester insulation in the original part and the glass-filled SPS in the substitute both meet the functional requirements for this connector housing. The SPS material in the substitute offers enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 0334710607 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 0334716007 is packaged in bags. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 0334710607 is ROHS3 compliant, and the 0334716007 is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.
