Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334724861 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.138" (3.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Color: Black
• Features: Sealed
• Series: MX150 33472

The substitute part Molex 0334724801 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in insulation material composition and operating temperature specifications do not affect functional interchangeability within the MX150 33472 series framework, as both housings accommodate the same contact configuration and mechanical interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334724861 and Molex 0334724801 are classified as Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The substitute part 0334724801 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory documentation for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Packaging Requirements: The main part 0334724861 is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute 0334724801 is available in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging may be advantageous for high-volume production environments.

2. Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 0334724801 includes explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH status documentation. Applications requiring documented compliance with these standards should specify the substitute part.

3. Inventory Availability: The substitute part 0334724801 maintains higher inventory levels (2483 pcs) compared to the main part (1104 pcs), supporting rapid procurement timelines.

4. Operating Temperature Documentation: The substitute part provides explicit operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C), which may be required for applications with defined thermal operating envelopes.

Both parts are functionally equivalent within the MX150 33472 series and support identical electrical and mechanical interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0334724861 and 0334724801 directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row arrangement, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. They are functionally equivalent within the MX150 33472 series and support the same contact insertion and mating interfaces.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The main part 0334724861 uses Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) with glass filling. The substitute part 0334724801 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon with glass filling in addition to Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS). Both materials are suitable for the sealed housing application and maintain the same mechanical and electrical performance characteristics required for this connector series.

Q: Does the operating temperature specification affect part selection?

A: The substitute part 0334724801 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The main part 0334724861 does not include an operating temperature specification in the provided data. For applications with defined thermal requirements within this range, either part is suitable. Applications requiring explicit temperature documentation should reference the substitute part specification.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The main part 0334724861 is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute part 0334724801 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is typically used for high-volume production runs and may offer cost advantages for large-quantity orders. Standard packaging is suitable for smaller quantities and mixed-component shipments.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The substitute part 0334724801 includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status documentation. The main part 0334724861 does not include these specifications in the provided data. For applications subject to ROHS3 or REACH regulatory requirements, the substitute part provides documented compliance.

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

A: Yes. Both parts support identical electrical and mechanical interfaces within the MX150 33472 series. Existing designs using the 0334724861 can be updated to use the 0334724801 without modification to connector mating interfaces, contact arrangements, or mounting configurations.

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

A: The main part 0334724861 has MSL listed as Not Applicable. The substitute part 0334724801 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
