Molex 0334720668 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334720668 is a 6-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors in the MX150 33472 series. This component is a connector housing designed for crimp termination with a 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch configuration. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring environmental compliance.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the MX150 33472 series, allowing for interchangeability in applications where connector housing specifications remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334720668 are identified within the MX150 33472 series based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant for interchangeability:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled; Syndiotatic Polystyrene (SPS)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 150°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary variable among substitute parts is housing color. All identified substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in cosmetic finish. This allows selection based on application requirements or inventory availability without affecting functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and environmental regulation adherence. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on:

1. Housing color requirements for your application
2. Current inventory availability
3. Lead time considerations for your procurement schedule

Parts 0334720669, 0334720702, 0334720706, and 0334720714 are available in gray housing, matching the original 0334720668 specification. Part 0334720701 provides an equivalent black housing alternative where color differentiation is required.

All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and identical operating temperature specifications, ensuring no thermal or moisture-related constraints affect substitution decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 0334720701 (black) for 0334720668 (gray) in my assembly?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The black housing variant maintains all functional parameters. Substitution is valid if your application does not require specific color coding or visual identification.

Q: Are all substitute parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes, all listed substitutes are Molex MX150 33472 series components, ensuring consistent quality and design standards.

Q: Do these parts require contacts to be purchased separately?

A: Yes, all listed parts are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately according to your application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates these components have unlimited shelf life and require no special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying inventory management.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: Can I mix different part numbers in a single assembly?

A: Yes, all parts are functionally equivalent within the MX150 33472 series and can be used interchangeably in the same assembly without affecting performance.
