Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0334820637 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 Compatibility: MX150 33482

The substitute parts 0334823637, 0334823601, and 0334823602 maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Variations in color (black versus gray) and product status (obsolete versus active) do not affect functional interchangeability within the connector housing category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Molex 0334823637

The 0334823637 is the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 0334820637. Both parts maintain identical black color and all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. This part carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it the preferred choice for direct replacement in new designs and production continuity.

Secondary Recommendations: Molex 0334823601 and 0334823602

The 0334823601 and 0334823602 are parametric equivalents with identical functional specifications. The primary distinction is color (gray versus black). Both parts are active, ROHS3 compliant, and carry REACH Unaffected status. These parts are suitable for applications where color differentiation is not a design constraint. Inventory availability for 0334823601 (6343 pcs) and 0334823602 (7808 pcs) exceeds that of 0334823637 (677 pcs), providing supply chain flexibility.

All substitute parts are manufactured by Molex within the MX150 33482 series and maintain full compatibility with existing connector systems designed for the 0334820637.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0334823637 be used as a direct replacement for the 0334820637?

A: Yes. The 0334823637 is the direct active equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, and fastening mechanism. The primary difference is product status: 0334820637 is obsolete while 0334823637 is active.

Q: What is the difference between the black (0334823637) and gray (0334823601, 0334823602) versions?

A: The only functional difference is housing color. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Color selection depends on application requirements or design standards. Both versions are fully interchangeable from an engineering standpoint.

Q: Are the gray substitute parts (0334823601 and 0334823602) functionally equivalent to the black main part?

A: Yes. The 0334823601 and 0334823602 are parametric equivalents with identical specifications across all critical parameters: 6 positions, 4.60mm pitch, 2-row configuration, male blade contacts, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening, and sealed design. Color is the only distinguishing characteristic.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for these connector housings?

A: These are connector housing components only. Male blade contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing during assembly. The housing itself does not include pre-installed contacts.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The main part 0334820637 and all substitute parts (0334823637, 0334823601, 0334823602) are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute parts also carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new production?

A: The 0334823637 is recommended for new production as the direct active equivalent. If color flexibility exists and supply chain optimization is a priority, the 0334823601 or 0334823602 offer higher inventory availability while maintaining full functional equivalence.
