Molex 0334724926 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334724926 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 and is classified as a free-hanging, in-line mounted connector. The part is currently active in production with 1,020 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the original part number becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when design specifications allow for functionally compatible alternatives that meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334724926 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Molex
• Series: MX150 33472
• 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
• Features: Sealed
• Base Product Number: 033472

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Color (Gray or Black)
• Insulation Material (Syndiotactic Polystyrene or Polyamide/Nylon variants)
• Packaging format (Bulk or standard)
• Operating Temperature range
• Compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH, MSL ratings)

The substitute part 0334724801 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent within the MX150 33472 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334724926 and 0334724801 are active production parts within the MX150 33472 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector function. Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

Primary Selection Factors:

1. Color Requirement: The main part features gray insulation material, while the substitute features black insulation material. Select based on visual identification or assembly documentation requirements.

2. Compliance Requirements: The substitute part 0334724801 carries explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status certifications. If regulatory compliance documentation is required for end-use applications, the substitute part provides certified compliance statements.

3. Operating Temperature Specification: The substitute part specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. If the application requires documented temperature performance specifications, the substitute part provides this data.

4. Packaging Format: The main part is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Select based on procurement and inventory management requirements.

5. Inventory Availability: The substitute part has higher current stock levels (2,483 units versus 1,020 units), which may influence lead time considerations.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the MX150 33472 series connector housing is specified, provided that color and packaging requirements do not impose constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0334724801 be used as a direct replacement for the 0334724926?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents within the MX150 33472 series. They share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. The primary differences are color (black versus gray) and insulation material composition. Direct substitution is permissible when these differences do not conflict with design or assembly specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between these two parts?

A: The color difference reflects different insulation material formulations. The main part uses Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) with glass fill, while the substitute uses Polyamide (PA) nylon with glass fill and SPS. Both materials provide sealed housing functionality. Color selection should be based on assembly documentation, visual identification requirements, or connector mating system specifications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts function as receptacle housings for 8-position, 0.138" pitch female socket contacts. Electrical performance is determined by the contact elements, not the housing material. The housing provides mechanical protection and sealing. Both parts are sealed and support the same contact termination and fastening methods.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: Both the main part and substitute are housing components only. Female socket contacts must be procured separately and installed into the housing through the crimp termination process. The housing itself does not include pre-installed contacts.

Q: Why does the substitute part have specified operating temperature while the main part does not?

A: The operating temperature specification for the substitute part reflects documented material performance data for the Polyamide and SPS insulation materials used in that variant. The main part's operating temperature is not specified in the available documentation. Both parts are suitable for standard industrial applications within typical operating ranges.

Q: What is the difference between standard and bulk packaging?

A: Standard packaging refers to the default packaging format supplied by the manufacturer. Bulk packaging typically indicates larger quantity containers or alternative packaging configurations. Selection depends on procurement requirements, inventory management practices, and order quantity thresholds.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The substitute part 0334724801 carries explicit ROHS3 compliance certification. The main part's RoHS status is not specified in the available documentation. For applications requiring documented RoHS compliance, the substitute part provides certified compliance statements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same assembly?

A: Yes, provided that assembly documentation does not specify a particular color or material requirement. Both parts perform identical connector housing functions within the MX150 33472 series and support the same contact elements and mating systems.
