Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334761602 is determined by strict parametric matching across the following critical dimensions:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 16 positions at 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch
• Physical Layout: 2-row configuration with free-hanging inline mounting
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch holder design
• Environmental Sealing: Sealed housing construction
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part 0334721602 meets all these parameters while maintaining active product status and equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0334721602 is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete 0334761602. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical dimensions: 16-position receptacle housing, 0.138" pitch, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, and sealed construction.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: 0334761602 is obsolete while 0334721602 maintains active production status. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent regulatory and environmental performance.

For new designs or ongoing procurement requirements, the 0334721602 is the appropriate selection due to its active availability and identical functional specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0334721602 directly replace the 0334761602 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically identical across all electrical and mechanical specifications: 16 positions, 0.138" pitch, 2-row layout, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, and sealed housing. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The parts differ only in product lifecycle status and series designation. The 0334761602 belongs to series MX150 33476 and is obsolete. The 0334721602 belongs to series MX150 33472 and maintains active production status. All functional parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0334761602 packaging information is not specified in available data. The 0334721602 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 0334761602 and 0334721602 are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.
