Molex 0334724876 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334724876 is an 8-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 color finish and utilizes crimp-type contact termination with latch holder fastening.

This part maintains Active product status and is currently in stock with 844 units available. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for supply chain flexibility, inventory management, and ensuring design continuity when primary part availability is constrained.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334724876 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the MX150 33472 connector series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (8)
• 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

The Molex 0334724801 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. Variations in packaging format, insulation material composition, operating temperature specification, and compliance certifications do not affect the core functional compatibility of the housing within the MX150 33472 series architecture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334724876 and Molex 0334724801 maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The 0334724801 substitute part offers enhanced compliance documentation, including ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, which may be required for applications subject to regulatory restrictions.

The 0334724801 is available in higher inventory quantity (2483 units) compared to the main part (844 units), providing improved supply chain resilience. The substitute part includes specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C) and defined moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), whereas the main part does not include these specifications in the provided data.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding compliance certifications, packaging format preference (Bulk for 0334724801 versus unspecified for 0334724876), and inventory availability constraints. Both parts are functionally equivalent for MX150 33472 series connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0334724876 and 0334724801 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 8-position receptacle housings with identical pitch (0.138" / 3.50mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (free hanging, in-line), and fastening mechanism (latch holder). They are mechanically interchangeable within MX150 33472 series connector assemblies.

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

A: The 0334724876 packaging format is not specified in the provided data. The 0334724801 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging differences do not affect functional compatibility but may impact handling, storage, and ordering procedures.

Q: Do these parts require different contact types?

A: No. Both housings accommodate identical female socket contacts with crimp termination. Contact specifications remain consistent across both part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: The 0334724801 specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating minimal moisture sensitivity and no special storage requirements. The 0334724876 does not include MSL specification in the provided data. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can I use the 0334724801 in applications requiring the 0334724876?

A: Yes, provided the application does not have specific packaging or documentation requirements tied to the original part number. Both parts meet identical functional and mechanical specifications for MX150 33472 series applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 0334724801 includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status documentation. The 0334724876 compliance status is not specified in the provided data. Applications subject to regulatory compliance requirements should verify that the selected part meets applicable standards.

Q: What is the inventory advantage of selecting the substitute part?

A: The 0334724801 has 2483 units in stock compared to 844 units for the 0334724876, providing greater availability and reduced lead time risk for high-volume production requirements.
