Molex 0334724043 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334724043 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 4.60mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts become necessary when specific color requirements, inventory availability, or regional compliance variations (REACH status) necessitate alternative part selection while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334724043 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (4), pitch (4.60mm), number of rows (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening type (latch holder), operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C), insulation material composition, sealed feature, and RoHS3 compliance status.

All substitute parts listed maintain identical values across these parameters. Variations occur only in housing color (Gray or Black) and REACH compliance designation, neither of which affects electrical or mechanical interchangeability. The base product number 033472 remains constant across all variants, confirming series compatibility within the MX150 33472 family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts maintain Active product status and RoHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment. Selection between 0334724043 and its substitutes depends on application-specific requirements:

For applications requiring Gray housing with REACH Affected designation, the primary part 0334724043 remains the specified choice. When REACH Unaffected status is required with Gray housing, part 0334724002 provides direct substitution with higher inventory availability (6,308 units). Black housing variants (0334724001 and 0334724101) are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the Gray housing primary part, with 0334724001 offering the highest inventory level (44,337 units) and REACH Unaffected compliance.

All parts share identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and maintain equivalent mechanical interface characteristics for crimp termination and latch holder fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0334724001 (Black) be used in place of 0334724043 (Gray)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Housing color is a cosmetic variation that does not affect connector functionality, mating characteristics, or performance within the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Affected and REACH Unaffected status?

A: REACH Affected (0334724043) and REACH Unaffected (0334724001, 0334724002, 0334724101) designations reflect regulatory substance compliance documentation. Both statuses confirm the parts meet applicable regulations; the designation indicates the regulatory pathway and documentation classification. Selection depends on supply chain and regional compliance requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts (0334724043, 0334724001, 0334724002, 0334724101) maintain RoHS3 Compliant status, confirming compliance with restricted substance limitations.

Q: Do these parts require separate contact components?

A: Yes. All parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with the 4.60mm pitch and crimp termination specification.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can I mix Gray and Black housings in the same connector assembly?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. However, application design specifications should be reviewed to confirm color consistency requirements for your specific use case.
