Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334823645 are determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Blade
• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Features: Sealed
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled; Syndiotatic Polystyrene (SPS)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 150°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts 0334823601 and 0334823602 maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is color designation (Gray versus Black) and packaging format (Bulk versus standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0334823645, 0334823601, and 0334823602—are active products manufactured by Molex and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Color requirement: The 0334823645 is supplied in Black, while 0334823601 and 0334823602 are supplied in Gray.
2. Packaging format: The 0334823645 is supplied in standard packaging, while 0334823601 and 0334823602 are supplied in Bulk packaging.
3. Inventory availability: Current stock levels are 745 Pcs (0334823645), 6343 Pcs (0334823601), and 7808 Pcs (0334823602).

All parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, termination method, temperature rating, and sealing features. Substitution between these parts does not require design modification or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0334823601 or 0334823602 be used as direct replacements for 0334823645?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, contact termination, fastening mechanism, temperature rating, and sealing features. The only differences are color (Gray versus Black) and packaging format (Bulk versus standard).

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between the main part and substitute parts?

A: Color is a cosmetic designation and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection should be based on application requirements or design specifications.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different contact specifications?

A: No. All three parts use identical male blade crimp contacts with the same 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch configuration. Contacts are not included with any of these housing parts.

Q: What is the difference between standard packaging and Bulk packaging?

A: Bulk packaging typically indicates larger quantity shipments without individual packaging. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
