Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0334820606 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Plug housing
• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Contact type: Male blade
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Locking ramp
• Features: Sealed design
• Series: MX150 33482

Two substitute parts meet these criteria. The primary direct substitute is Molex 0334823606, which maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status. Parametric equivalents 0334823601 and 0334823602 provide functional interchangeability with the same core parameters, with the distinction of gray color versus the original black housing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using Molex 0334820606, the following selection criteria apply:

Primary Recommendation: Molex 0334823606 is the direct substitute. It maintains active product status, identical black color, and all electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is suitable for direct replacement without design modification.

Alternative Selection: Molex 0334823601 and 0334823602 are parametric equivalents offering identical functional performance. The distinction is housing color (gray versus black). These parts are appropriate when color differentiation is not a functional requirement or when inventory availability favors selection.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, matching the original specification. Product status transition from obsolete to active ensures long-term supply chain viability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0334823606 be used as a direct replacement for 0334820606?

A: Yes. Molex 0334823606 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 6 positions, 4.60mm pitch, 2-row configuration, male blade contacts, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening, and sealed design. The primary difference is product status transition from obsolete to active.

Q: What is the difference between 0334823606 and 0334823601/0334823602?

A: Molex 0334823606 is a direct substitute with black housing color matching the original. Molex 0334823601 and 0334823602 are parametric equivalents with gray housing color. All three parts share identical connector specifications, pitch, position count, and termination method. Selection between them depends on color requirements for your application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Molex 0334820606 is listed without specified packaging. Molex 0334823606 is supplied without specified packaging. Molex 0334823601 and 0334823602 are supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (0334823606, 0334823601, 0334823602) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), matching the original part specification.

Q: Can color be changed in the application design?

A: Housing color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. If your application permits color variation, Molex 0334823601 and 0334823602 (gray) provide equivalent performance to the black-housed alternatives.
