Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334720406 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the MX150 33472 connector series. All substitute parts maintain the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Number of positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Latch holder
• Features: Sealed
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (unlimited)

Substitute parts are grouped by color variation and product status. Parts 0334724001 and 0334724101 are black housings with active product status. Part 0334724002 is a gray housing variant, also active. All three substitutes are packaged in bulk and maintain full compatibility with the original part's electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (0334724001, 0334724002, 0334724101) are direct parametric equivalents to the original 0334720406 and are suitable for replacement in applications requiring the MX150 33472 series 4-position receptacle housing.

For color-critical applications: Select 0334724001 or 0334724101 (black housings) to maintain visual consistency with the original part. Both are active products with equivalent availability.

For color-flexible applications: Part 0334724002 (gray housing) is functionally equivalent and offers an alternative aesthetic option while maintaining all electrical and mechanical specifications.

For procurement priority: All three substitutes carry active product status, ensuring ongoing availability. Parts 0334724001 and 0334724101 offer the highest inventory levels (44,337 and 1,982 units respectively), supporting immediate procurement needs.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0334724001, 0334724002, and 0334724101 be used interchangeably with 0334720406?
