Molex 0334722306 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334722306 is a 20-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 two-row arrangements in a free-hanging, in-line mounting format. The housing features sealed construction with a black color finish and utilizes crimp-type contact termination with latch holder fastening.

This part maintains Active product status and is stocked with 1161 pieces available. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, accommodate packaging preferences, and address material specification variations while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334722306 are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for substitution validity:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (20)
• Pitch specification (0.138" / 3.50mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Color (Black)
• Sealed feature requirement
• Series designation (MX150 33472)

The Molex 0334722306 has one parametric equivalent: the Molex 0334722006. This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in packaging format (Bulk versus standard packaging) and material composition of the insulation housing. Both parts are manufactured by Molex and belong to the same MX150 33472 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334722306 and Molex 0334722006 are Active product status components suitable for new design implementations and ongoing production applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Molex 0334722306 is appropriate when standard packaging requirements are specified and when the Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) glass-filled insulation material is the designated specification.

Molex 0334722006 is appropriate when bulk packaging is required for high-volume manufacturing operations. This substitute provides documented RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, offering enhanced regulatory documentation. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) provide explicit environmental performance specifications. The insulation material composition includes both Polyamide (PA) nylon and Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) options.

Both parts carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility within the MX150 33472 series. The choice between these substitutes does not affect connector performance, mating characteristics, or contact interface specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0334722306 and 0334722006 fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. They share the same 20-position, 3.50mm pitch receptacle housing configuration, mounting type, contact termination method, and fastening mechanism. The parts are interchangeable in applications where the specified insulation material and packaging format are compatible with system requirements.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and material composition. The 0334722306 uses standard packaging with Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) glass-filled insulation. The 0334722006 uses bulk packaging and offers both Polyamide (PA) nylon and Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) insulation material options. The 0334722006 also provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C), RoHS3 compliance, and MSL rating specifications.

Q: Can I substitute the 0334722006 for the 0334722306 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is valid from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, design documentation should be reviewed to confirm that bulk packaging is acceptable and that the material composition change does not conflict with application requirements. Both parts maintain identical connector interface specifications and are compatible with the same contact sets and mating connectors.

Q: What does the packaging difference mean for procurement?

A: Standard packaging (0334722306) typically refers to individual or small quantity packaging suitable for lower-volume applications. Bulk packaging (0334722006) is designed for high-volume manufacturing environments where components are supplied in larger quantities per container, reducing per-unit packaging material and potentially lowering overall procurement costs.

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

A: The 0334722006 provides explicit RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status documentation. The 0334722306 does not specify these certifications in the available data. Both parts carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99). If regulatory compliance documentation is required for your application, the 0334722006 offers more complete certification records.

Q: Do these parts require specific contact types?

A: Both housings are designed for crimp-type female socket contacts. The documentation indicates that contacts are not included with either housing. Contact selection must be based on the MX150 33472 series specifications and the wire gauge and termination requirements of your application.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the 0334722306?

A: The operating temperature range is not specified in the available documentation for the 0334722306. The 0334722006 specifies an operating range of -40°C to 150°C. For applications requiring explicit temperature specifications, the 0334722006 provides documented performance data.
