Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0334761849 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 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 in-line mounting
• Termination & Fastening: Crimp contact termination with latch holder fastening
• Functional Features: Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and sealed design
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The Molex 0334721607 meets all these criteria as a parametric equivalent. The primary distinction is housing color (gray versus black) and active product status, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0334721607 is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete 0334761849. Both housings maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional parameters. The substitute part carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment.

Selection of the 0334721607 is appropriate for new designs, redesigns, or replacement applications where the 0334761849 is no longer procurable. The housing color difference (gray versus black) does not affect connector performance or compatibility with mating plug assemblies or contact inserts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0334761849 and 0334721607 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both housings share identical pitch (0.138"), position count (16), row configuration (2), and mounting type (free hanging in-line). They accept the same crimp contacts and mate with identical plug assemblies.

Q: Does the color difference between black and gray affect compatibility?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic distinction and does not impact electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact engagement.

Q: Can I use the 0334721607 in existing assemblies designed for the 0334761849?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing mating components, harnesses, and contact sets designed for the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: Active status indicates the 0334721607 is in current production with established supply chains and long-term availability. This eliminates procurement risk associated with the obsolete 0334761849.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0334761849 and 0334721607 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. Both housings accommodate identical crimp contacts for the MX150 series at 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be sourced separately.
