Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0334824801 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the 0334820801 based on the following matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Identical connector type (Plug) and contact configuration (Male Blade, 8 positions)
• Matching pitch specification (0.138" / 4.60mm)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows)
• Matching mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Identical contact termination method (Crimp)
• Matching fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Identical color and sealed feature set
• Equivalent RoHS and MSL compliance levels
• Same base product number (033482) within the MX150 series

The primary distinction is product status: the 0334820801 is obsolete, while the 0334824801 is active with significantly higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0334824801 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 0334820801. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the MX150 33482 series, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications requiring 8-position rectangular plug housings with 4.60mm pitch and sealed male blade contact configuration.

Selection of the 0334824801 is supported by:

• Active product status with established supply chain availability
• ROHS3 compliance matching the original specification
• MSL 1 rating confirming unlimited shelf life storage capability
• Significantly higher inventory levels (13517 units versus 696 units) enabling reliable procurement for production volumes

The 0334824801 is suitable for direct substitution in all applications currently or previously utilizing the 0334820801.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0334824801 directly replace the 0334820801 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, contact type, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, color, and sealed feature set. They are functionally equivalent within the MX150 series.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 0334820801 is classified as obsolete. The 0334824801 is the active equivalent part, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory status.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 0334820801 packaging is unspecified in available documentation. The 0334824801 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0334820801 and 0334824801 are housings only. Male blade contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

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

A: Both parts feature 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, defining the center-to-center spacing between contact positions. This specification must match the mating connector and contact design in the application.
