Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Molex 0334823653

Part Overview

The Molex 0334823653 is a 6-position rectangular connector housing designed for plug applications with a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch. This component functions as a housing assembly for male blade contacts in a 2-row configuration and is classified as an active product. The connector features a sealed design with a locking ramp fastening mechanism suitable for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific material or color requirements necessitate component alternatives.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The Molex 0334823653 and its identified substitute share identical specifications in the following areas: connector type (plug), contact type (male blade), number of positions (6), pitch (0.138"/3.50mm), number of rows (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (locking ramp), and sealed feature classification. These parameters establish mechanical and electrical compatibility within the MX150 33482 series.

Variations between the main part and substitute are limited to non-functional attributes: housing color (black versus gray) and insulation material composition (Syndiotactic Polystyrene glass-filled versus Polyamide/Nylon glass-filled with SPS). These material differences do not affect connector functionality, pin configuration, or mating characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334823653 and 0334823628 are active products with identical connector specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 6-position, 3.50mm pitch rectangular plug housings with male blade contacts. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The 0334823653 (black housing) is the primary specification when color coding or visual identification requirements mandate black connector housings.

The 0334823628 (gray housing) provides an alternative with documented operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C) and RoHS3 compliance certification. This substitute offers higher inventory availability (8467 pieces versus 946 pieces) and REACH unaffected status.

Both parts are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes and share the same base product number (033482) within the MX150 series. Neither part includes contacts; male blade contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0334823653 and 0334823628 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both housings feature identical connector type (plug), contact configuration (6-position, male blade, 2-row), pitch (0.138"/3.50mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and fastening mechanism (locking ramp). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the MX150 33482 series.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The main differences are housing color (black versus gray) and insulation material composition. The 0334823628 includes a documented operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C) and RoHS3 compliance certification, while the 0334823653 does not specify operating temperature limits.

Q: Can I use the gray housing (0334823628) as a direct replacement for the black housing (0334823653)?

A: Functionally, yes. However, if the application requires black housing for color-coded identification or visual distinction purposes, the gray substitute would not meet those requirements. Verify color specifications in your application documentation before substitution.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both part numbers are housing assemblies only. Male blade contacts must be obtained separately and installed through the crimp termination method.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important for substitution?

A: The pitch is 0.138" (3.50mm), representing the center-to-center distance between adjacent contact positions. This parameter must remain constant for mechanical compatibility. Both parts share identical pitch specifications, confirming substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: The 0334823628 includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status documentation. The 0334823653 does not specify these certifications in the provided data. If regulatory compliance is required for your application, verify that the selected part meets your specific compliance requirements.

Q: What does "Sealed" mean in the Features specification?

A: The sealed feature indicates that the connector housing provides environmental protection against moisture and contaminants. Both parts include this sealed design characteristic.
