Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Molex 0334820647 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the MX150 33482 series. The active equivalent part maintains identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Key Parameters for Substitution Compatibility:

• Connector type: Plug housing
• Contact configuration: 6 positions, male blade, 2 rows
• Pitch specification: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging inline
• Termination method: Crimp
• Fastening mechanism: Locking ramp
• Color: Gray
• Sealing: Sealed design
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 0334823647 is classified as active and shares all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters with the original part, enabling direct substitution in existing designs and assemblies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with obsolete component sourcing.

Selection of the 0334823647 is supported by complete parameter alignment across connector type, contact configuration, pitch specification, mounting method, and termination requirements. The active status of the substitute part ensures long-term availability and manufacturing continuity for applications currently utilizing the 0334820647.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0334823647 directly replace the 0334820647 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact termination, and fastening mechanism. The substitute part is mechanically and electrically compatible with existing designs.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 0334820647 is obsolete, while the 0334823647 is active. The substitute part includes specified insulation materials (Polyamide with glass fill and Syndiotactic Polystyrene) and operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C). The original part does not include cap/cover features in the substitute version.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0334820647 and 0334823647 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important for substitution?

A: Both parts specify 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch. Pitch determines the spacing between contact positions and is a critical parameter for mechanical fit and electrical performance. Matching pitch ensures compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex specifications.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both parts are configured for free-hanging inline mounting, suitable for applications requiring flexible positioning without fixed panel or PCB mounting.
