Molex 0334823644 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334823644 is a 6-position rectangular connector plug housing with 4.60mm pitch, designed for crimp termination in free-hanging inline applications. This connector is part of the MX150 33482 series and features sealed construction with polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the MX150 33482 series, allowing for interchangeability in applications where connector color or specific operating temperature ranges do not impose design constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334823644 are identified within the MX150 33482 series based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Connector type: Plug
• Contact type: Male Blade
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Locking Ramp
• Features: Sealed
• Insulation material composition: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled; Syndiotatic Polystyrene (SPS)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitutes (0334823601 and 0334823602) maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in connector color (Yellow vs. Gray) and operating temperature specification do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where these attributes are not design-critical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts (0334823644, 0334823601, 0334823602) are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings. Selection between the main part and substitutes should be based on:

1. Color requirement: The main part 0334823644 is yellow; substitutes 0334823601 and 0334823602 are gray. Color selection may be driven by assembly documentation, wiring harness standards, or visual identification requirements.

2. Operating temperature specification: Substitutes 0334823601 and 0334823602 explicitly specify -40°C ~ 150°C operating range. The main part does not provide this specification. If operating temperature range is a design requirement, the substitutes provide documented thermal performance.

3. Inventory availability: Substitute parts 0334823601 and 0334823602 show higher stock levels (6343 and 7808 units respectively) compared to the main part (2012 units).

All parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface characteristics, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications where color and temperature specification do not impose constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0334823601 or 0334823602 be used as direct replacements for 0334823644?

A: Yes, both substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and termination type. Interchangeability is confirmed for applications where connector color and operating temperature specification are not design-critical.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and the substitutes?

A: The primary differences are connector color (yellow vs. gray) and operating temperature specification. The main part 0334823644 is yellow with unspecified operating temperature. Substitutes 0334823601 and 0334823602 are gray with documented -40°C ~ 150°C operating range. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist at the connector interface level. All parts use identical 6-position, 4.60mm pitch male blade contact configuration with crimp termination and locking ramp fastening. Physical dimensions and mating characteristics are equivalent. Substitution decisions should be based solely on color requirements and operating temperature specifications.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different contact pins or housing components?

A: No. All parts in this group use the same base product number (033482) and are part of the MX150 33482 series. Contact pins and internal components are interchangeable across all three part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connectors have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. This applies equally to all three parts.
