Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334720807 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Receptacle
Contact Type: Female Socket
Number of Positions: 8
Pitch: 0.138" (4.60mm)
Number of Rows: 2
Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
Contact Termination: Crimp
Fastening Type: Latch Holder
Features: Connector Position Assurance (CPA), Sealed
Series: MX150 33472

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across these parameters. Variations in color (Gray vs. Black) and packaging format (Bulk vs. original packaging) do not affect functional compatibility. All substitute parts carry active product status with current manufacturing support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are manufactured by Molex within the MX150 33472 series and maintain full functional equivalence to the obsolete 0334720807. Selection among active alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

Direct Gray Equivalent (Highest Compatibility): Part 0334724807 provides identical color specification to the original part with the highest current inventory (5975 pcs). This part is recommended as the primary replacement for direct substitution in existing designs.

Alternative Gray Options: Parts 0334724881, 0334724907, and 0334724925 offer gray housing equivalence with lower inventory levels but maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Black Housing Alternatives: Parts 0334724806 and 0334724906 provide functional equivalence with black housing. These parts are suitable for applications where color specification is not a design constraint. Part 0334724806 offers the highest inventory availability (8530 pcs) among black variants.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C). Packaging format differences (Bulk vs. original) do not affect component performance or compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a black housing connector (0334724806 or 0334724906) as a direct replacement for the gray housing original part (0334720807)?

A: Yes. The black and gray housing variants are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Color difference does not affect connector performance, mating capability, or electrical characteristics. Selection should be based on design requirements and visual identification needs.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple gray housing options (0334724807, 0334724881, 0334724907, 0334724925)?

A: All gray housing variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences exist only in manufacturing lot tracking and inventory management codes. Any gray variant is functionally interchangeable with the others and with the original 0334720807.

Q: Are all substitute parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry active product status with current manufacturing support from Molex. The original 0334720807 is obsolete and should be replaced with an active equivalent for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different contact pins or mating connectors?

A: No. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (4.60mm), position count (8), and row configuration (2 rows). Existing contact pins and mating connectors designed for the original part are fully compatible with all substitute options.

Q: What is the significance of the different HTSUS codes listed for some parts?

A: HTSUS codes are tariff classification codes used for import/export purposes and do not affect component functionality or compatibility. Parts with different HTSUS codes (8536.69.8000 vs. 8538.90.6000) are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can I mix different substitute part numbers in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are functionally equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same assembly or production run without affecting performance or compatibility.
