Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334720671 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Position count (6 positions)
• Pitch specification (0.138" / 4.60mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mounting method (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Termination type (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
• Color specification (Gray)
• Temperature operating range (-40°C to 150°C)
• Insulation material composition
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS3, MSL 1)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted without modification to circuit design or assembly procedures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334720671 and Molex 0334720670 are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times, as both maintain full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

The 0334720670 variant currently maintains higher inventory levels (4926 pcs) compared to the 0334720671 (1456 pcs), which may influence supply chain decisions. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 6-position rectangular connectors with crimp termination across the -40°C to 150°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0334720670 be used as a direct replacement for the 0334720671?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, termination method, and operating temperature range. No circuit design or assembly procedure modifications are required.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The 0334720671 is REACH Affected while the 0334720670 is REACH Unaffected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and jurisdiction before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification in connector selection?

A: The 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch specification determines physical spacing between contact positions and mating interface geometry. Both substitute parts maintain identical pitch, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 0334720671 and 0334720670 are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex assembly specifications.

Q: What does the Latch Holder fastening type provide?

A: The Latch Holder fastening mechanism provides positive mechanical retention between mated connector pairs, preventing accidental disconnection during vibration or mechanical stress. This feature is identical across both substitute parts.
