Molex 0334823620 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334823620 is a 6-position rectangular connector plug housing from the MX150 33482 series. This component is a black polyamide housing designed for crimp termination with a 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch configuration. The part is actively manufactured and widely used in applications requiring sealed, free-hanging inline connector assemblies. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative housing colors or inventory availability necessitate component alternatives.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334823620 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Plug housing with male blade contacts
Electrical Interface: 6-position, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, 2-row configuration
Mechanical Interface: Free-hanging inline mounting with crimp termination and locking ramp fastening
Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range -40°C to 150°C, sealed design
Material & Compliance: Polyamide/nylon glass-filled insulation, ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1

The identified substitute parts (0334823601 and 0334823602) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only permitted variation is housing color, which does not affect functional compatibility in applications where color differentiation is not a circuit-critical requirement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0334823620, 0334823601, and 0334823602—are active production components with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is based on housing color requirements and inventory availability:

0334823620: Black housing, 1015 units in stock
0334823601: Gray housing, 6343 units in stock
0334823602: Gray housing, 7808 units in stock

Parts 0334823601 and 0334823602 are functionally and electrically interchangeable with the main part number. Housing color selection should be determined by application-specific requirements such as visual identification, connector keying schemes, or assembly documentation standards. All parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and environmental ratings across the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use part 0334823601 or 0334823602 as a direct replacement for 0334823620?

A: Yes. Parts 0334823601 and 0334823602 are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is housing color (gray versus black). Substitution is valid when color differentiation is not a functional requirement.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the 0334823620?

A: Substitute parts must maintain identical specifications across: connector type (plug), number of positions (6), pitch (0.138"/4.60mm), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (male blade), mounting style (free-hanging inline), termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (locking ramp), operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C), and material composition (polyamide/nylon glass-filled insulation).

Q: Are there any compatibility issues between the black and gray housing versions?

A: No. Housing color does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both versions use identical internal contact configurations, pitch spacing, and termination interfaces.

Q: Do all three parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and maintain active product status.

Q: What is the significance of the 2-row configuration?

A: The 2-row arrangement defines the physical layout of the 6 contact positions within the housing. This configuration is identical across all three part numbers and determines mechanical fit with mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and installed via crimp termination.
