Molex 0334722153 Rectangular Connector Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334722153 is a 20-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for the MX150 33472 series. This component serves as the female socket housing in applications requiring crimp-terminated connections with a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch configuration. The part is actively manufactured and maintained in production status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when managing inventory constraints, optimizing procurement lead times, or addressing packaging and compliance requirements specific to end-use applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334722153 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 20-position, 2-row configuration with 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch
• Mechanical Interface: Free hanging (in-line) mounting with crimp termination and latch holder fastening
• Physical Properties: Black color, sealed design
• Series Compatibility: MX150 33472 series designation

The substitute part Molex 0334722153 maintains full parametric equivalence across all mechanical and electrical interfaces. Variations in insulation material composition and operating temperature specifications do not affect functional interchangeability within the connector housing category, as these parameters define performance characteristics rather than physical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334722153 and Molex 0334722006 are active production parts within the MX150 33472 series and are fully interchangeable from a mechanical and electrical standpoint. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Packaging Considerations: The 0334722153 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 0334722006 is available in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging may be advantageous for high-volume manufacturing operations or when inventory consolidation is a priority.

Compliance & Certifications: The 0334722006 carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, with a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited). These certifications support applications with stringent regulatory requirements. The 0334722153 does not specify these compliance attributes in the provided data.

Operational Specifications: The 0334722006 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, providing explicit thermal performance data. The 0334722153 does not include operating temperature specifications in the provided documentation.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the MX150 33472 series receptacle housing is specified. Selection should align with procurement requirements, regulatory compliance mandates, and environmental operating conditions of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0334722153 and 0334722006 fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the MX150 33472 series.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and documented compliance certifications. The 0334722006 includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH status documentation, and specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The 0334722153 does not include these specifications in the provided data.

Q: Can I substitute the 0334722006 for the 0334722153 in my design?

A: Yes. The 0334722006 can be used as a direct substitute for the 0334722153 without modification to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or assembly procedures. The housing dimensions, contact positions, and mounting interfaces are identical.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (standard or bulk) does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector housing. It is a logistics and inventory management consideration only.

Q: Which part should I select for applications requiring regulatory compliance documentation?

A: The Molex 0334722006 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and REACH status verification, as these certifications are explicitly documented for this part number.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0334722153 and 0334722006 are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing during assembly.
