Molex 0334823640 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334823640 is a 6-position rectangular connector plug housing from the MX150 33482 series, designed for crimp contact termination in free-hanging inline applications. This component is an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when packaging requirements differ, while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334823640 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical connector type (Plug)
• Identical contact type (Male Blade)
• Identical number of positions (6)
• Identical pitch (0.138" / 4.60mm)
• Identical number of rows (2)
• Identical mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Identical contact termination method (Crimp)
• Identical fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Identical sealed feature
• Identical insulation material composition
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C)
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)
• Identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The identified substitute parts (0334823601 and 0334823602) meet all these criteria. The only variation is in housing color (Gray versus Black) and packaging format (Bulk versus standard), which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers (0334823640, 0334823601, and 0334823602) are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, full RoHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Housing color requirement: The main part (0334823640) features black housing, while both substitute parts (0334823601 and 0334823602) feature gray housing.

2. Packaging format: The main part is supplied in standard packaging, while substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging.

3. Inventory availability: Current stock levels vary across part numbers and should be evaluated against project lead time requirements.

All parts are suitable for applications requiring 6-position rectangular connectors with crimp termination, sealed construction, and operation across the -40°C to 150°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 0334823601 or 0334823602 for 0334823640 in my application?

A: Yes, both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The only differences are housing color (gray versus black) and packaging format. Substitution is valid if housing color does not affect your application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts (0334823601 and 0334823602)?

A: Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is packaging format only. Both are supplied in bulk packaging and feature gray housing.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts (0334823640, 0334823601, and 0334823602) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can these connectors operate at high temperatures?

A: Yes, all three parts are rated for operation from -40°C to 150°C, suitable for industrial and automotive applications requiring extended temperature ranges.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No, contacts are not included. These are housing-only components. Male blade contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: The pitch is 0.138 inches (4.60mm), which defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions in the 6-position, 2-row configuration.
