Molex 0334721535 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334721535 is a 12-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for the MX150 33472 series. This component functions as a housing for female socket contacts with a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch configuration, supporting 2-row arrangements in a free-hanging, in-line mounting format. The housing features sealed construction with a black insulation material composition of syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) glass-filled polymer.

This part maintains Active product status with 1063 units currently in stock. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate specific application requirements such as color specifications or material preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334721535 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 12-position arrangement with 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch
• Physical Layout: 2-row configuration with free-hanging, in-line mounting
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination with latch holder fastening
• Environmental Protection: Sealed housing construction
• Series Compatibility: MX150 33472 series designation

The substitute part Molex 0334721207 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters. Variations between the main part and substitute are limited to housing color (black versus gray) and insulation material composition (syndiotactic polystyrene versus polyamide/nylon with syndiotactic polystyrene), which do not affect functional compatibility or contact interface performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334721535 and Molex 0334721207 maintain Active product status and are suitable for ongoing design implementation. The substitute part 0334721207 provides additional compliance documentation, including explicit ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, which may be required for specific regulatory environments or customer specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is housing color and insulation material composition. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Color Requirements: Black housing (0334721535) versus gray housing (0334721207)
• Material Specifications: Single-material SPS composition (0334721535) versus dual-material PA/nylon and SPS composition (0334721207)
• Regulatory Documentation: Explicit compliance certifications required by end application or customer standards
• Inventory Availability: 0334721207 maintains higher stock levels (4771 units) compared to 0334721535 (1063 units)

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for MX150 33472 series connector applications requiring 12-position, 3.50mm pitch receptacle housings with crimp termination and latch fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0334721535 and 0334721207 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 12-position receptacle housings with identical pitch (0.138" / 3.50mm), contact configuration (female socket), termination method (crimp), and fastening type (latch holder). They interface identically with mating connector plugs and contact assemblies within the MX150 33472 series.

Q: What is the functional difference between black and gray housing colors?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification parameter only. It does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact interface characteristics. Color selection is determined by application aesthetics, assembly identification requirements, or customer specifications.

Q: Does the insulation material difference affect compatibility?

A: The insulation material composition differs between parts (SPS only versus PA/nylon with SPS), but both materials are glass-filled polymers suitable for sealed rectangular connector housings. Material selection does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility with standard MX150 33472 series contacts and mating plugs. Material choice may be driven by specific environmental exposure, chemical resistance, or material certification requirements.

Q: What does MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) indicate?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) on the 0334721207 indicates the part has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and requires no special handling or storage conditions. The 0334721535 lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating this specification is not defined for that part variant. This does not indicate incompatibility; it reflects different documentation standards between part variants.

Q: Is the substitute part ROHS compliant?

A: The Molex 0334721207 is explicitly ROHS3 compliant. The Molex 0334721535 does not specify RoHS status in available documentation. For applications requiring RoHS compliance certification, the 0334721207 is the documented compliant option.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not specify color or material requirements. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the MX150 33472 series. Substitution is valid for all standard connector applications using 12-position, 3.50mm pitch receptacle housings with crimp contacts and latch fastening.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 0334721535 is supplied in standard packaging (not specified), while the 0334721207 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component performance or compatibility; it reflects different distribution and inventory management approaches.
