Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0334820649 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Male Blade)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.138" / 4.60mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Color (Black)
• Base product number (033482)

The primary substitute, Molex 0334823649, maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all these parameters while offering active product status and current manufacturing support. Secondary substitutes 0334823601 and 0334823602 are listed as equivalent alternatives within the same series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0334823649 is the primary recommended substitute for the obsolete 0334820649. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, with the key distinction being active product status and current manufacturing availability. The 0334823649 maintains ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original design.

Secondary substitutes 0334823601 and 0334823602 provide additional sourcing options within the same MX150 33482 series, maintaining full parameter equivalence. Selection between primary and secondary substitutes should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements, as all three alternatives are functionally interchangeable with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0334823649 be used as a direct replacement for the 0334820649?

A: Yes. Both components are 6-position plug housings with 4.60mm pitch, male blade contacts, crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The obsolete status of the 0334820649 indicates discontinued manufacturing. The 0334823649 is actively manufactured, ensuring reliable sourcing for new production and field replacements.

Q: Are the secondary substitutes 0334823601 and 0334823602 fully compatible?

A: Yes. Both secondary substitutes maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row count, mounting style, termination method, and fastening mechanism.

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

A: Yes. The 0334820649 and all listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

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

Q: What is the base product number significance?

A: The base product number 033482 identifies the core connector family. All listed parts share this base number, confirming they belong to the same product line with compatible design specifications.
