Molex 0334821202 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334821202 is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing with 4.60mm pitch, designed for crimp termination in free-hanging inline applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning. The housing accommodates male blade contacts and features sealed construction with locking ramp fastening. Substitute parts maintain functional compatibility through identical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved availability through active product status alternatives.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334821202 are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Male Blade)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.138" / 4.60mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Sealed feature requirement
• RoHS3 compliance status
• MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: Molex 0334826202 (gray housing, active status) and Molex 0334826201 (black housing, active status). Both are members of the MX150 33482 series and maintain full functional interchangeability with the original part number while offering superior procurement availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (0334826202 and 0334826201) are qualified replacements for the obsolete Molex 0334821202 based on active product status and maintained compliance certifications. Selection between the two substitutes should be determined by application-specific color requirements:

• Molex 0334826202: Gray housing variant, maintains original color specification of the main part
• Molex 0334826201: Black housing variant, provides alternative color option with identical electrical and mechanical characteristics

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating. The transition from obsolete to active status ensures long-term procurement viability and supply chain continuity. Inventory availability is substantially higher for both substitute parts compared to the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts fully compatible with the original 0334821202?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters: 12-position configuration, 4.60mm pitch, male blade contacts, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening, sealed construction, and free-hanging inline mounting. Functional interchangeability is complete.

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

A: The Molex 0334826202 features gray housing, matching the original part color. The Molex 0334826201 features black housing. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two substitutes.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The substitute parts (0334826202 and 0334826201) are active products within the same MX150 33482 series, providing continued availability for equivalent functionality.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The original part number does not specify packaging format. Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for connector housings in production environments.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence with the original component.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The substitute parts are rated for -40°C to 150°C operation. This specification is not provided for the original part but represents the standard operating range for this connector series.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. All three part numbers (main and substitutes) are housings only. Male blade contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex specifications.
