Molex 0334724920 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334724920 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.

The part is currently in active product status with 1,008 pieces available in new original inventory. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging variations, material composition differences, and enhanced environmental specifications that may be required for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334724920 and 0334724801 are active products within the MX150 33472 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector housing functionality.

Selection Criteria Based on Product Status and Compliance:

The Molex 0334724801 provides enhanced compliance documentation with explicit RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status. This part is specified with a defined operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture handling characteristics.

The Molex 0334724920 serves applications where standard packaging and baseline specifications are sufficient. This part remains suitable for general-purpose connector housing applications within the MX150 series.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Compliance requirements for the end application
• Environmental operating conditions
• Packaging format requirements (standard versus bulk)
• Inventory availability and lead time considerations

Both parts are functionally interchangeable for connector housing applications requiring 8-position, 3.50mm pitch receptacle housings with sealed construction and crimp termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0334724920 and 0334724801 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and fastening method. They are mechanically interchangeable within the MX150 33472 series.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk), insulation material composition, and compliance certifications. The 0334724801 includes explicit RoHS3 compliance and REACH status documentation, while the 0334724920 does not specify these certifications.

Q: Can I use the 0334724801 as a direct replacement for the 0334724920?

A: Yes. The 0334724801 is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The enhanced compliance certifications and defined operating temperature range make it suitable for applications requiring these specifications.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (standard versus bulk) does not affect connector performance or electrical characteristics. It relates only to order quantity and handling logistics.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for the 0334724801?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has minimal moisture sensitivity and does not require special moisture control handling during storage or assembly. This contrasts with higher MSL ratings that require controlled humidity environments.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0334724920 and 0334724801 are housings only. Contacts must be ordered separately and installed through the crimp termination process.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature specification on the 0334724801?

A: The -40°C to 150°C operating temperature range on the 0334724801 provides explicit environmental performance documentation. This specification is not provided for the 0334724920, making the 0334724801 preferable for applications with defined temperature requirements.
