Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334720925 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 8 positions at 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch
• Row Configuration: 2-row arrangement
• Mounting & Termination: Free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch holder design
• Housing Color: Gray
• Functional Features: Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part Molex 0334724925 meets all these criteria while offering active production status and enhanced sealing features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0334724925 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 0334720925. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the MX150 33472 series, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method. The 0334724925 maintains full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The primary distinction is product status: the 0334724925 is in active production, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability. The addition of sealed housing features in the 0334724925 offers enhanced environmental protection without altering the core connector interface or contact compatibility.

For new designs or system refreshes, the 0334724925 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact form-factor matching, both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the housing level, provided mating connectors and contact specifications remain consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0334720925 and 0334724925 fully interchangeable?

A: Yes, at the housing level. Both components feature identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and contact termination. The 0334724925 includes sealed housing features not present in the 0334720925, but this does not affect mating compatibility with standard MX150 series contacts and plugs.

Q: Why is the 0334720925 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects Molex's production discontinuation. The 0334724925 serves as the active production equivalent, offering the same core functionality with enhanced sealing.

Q: What is the significance of the sealed feature in the 0334724925?

A: The sealed housing provides additional environmental protection. This enhancement does not alter electrical performance or contact interface compatibility; it represents a design improvement in the active production variant.

Q: Are contacts included with either housing?

A: No. Both the 0334720925 and 0334724925 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and must be compatible with the MX150 33472 series specification.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The 0334720925 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 0334724925 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0334720925 and 0334724925 meet ROHS3 compliance requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for restricted substance management.
