Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Molex 0334826227

Part Overview

The Molex 0334826227 is a 12-position rectangular connector housing plug with a 3.50mm pitch, designed for crimp contact termination in free-hanging in-line applications. This connector belongs to the MX150 33482 series and features a sealed design with male blade contacts. The part is currently active in production with 986 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent rectangular connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in non-critical attributes such as color or insulation material composition. Substitutes enable procurement flexibility, inventory optimization, and continuity of supply across manufacturing operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Critical Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Male Blade)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.138" / 3.50mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Sealed feature requirement
• Series designation (MX150 33482)

Non-Critical Variation Parameters:

• Housing color (Black, Gray)
• Insulation material composition (Syndiotactic Polystyrene vs. Polyamide/Nylon with Glass Fill)
• Operating temperature range specification
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH)
• Moisture sensitivity level

The substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the primary part 0334826227 across all critical parameters. Variations in color and insulation material do not affect connector function, mating capability, or performance in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0334826227, 0334826202, and 0334826262—are active production components manufactured by Molex within the MX150 33482 series. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements and compliance obligations rather than functional capability differences.

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance: Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 carry explicit RoHS3 Compliant certification with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The primary part 0334826227 does not specify RoHS compliance status.

For applications requiring REACH compliance documentation: Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 are designated as REACH Unaffected. The primary part 0334826227 does not specify REACH status.

For applications with defined operating temperature requirements: Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 specify an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The primary part 0334826227 does not specify an operating temperature range.

For color-specific design or assembly requirements: Part 0334826227 is available in Black. Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 are available in Gray. Color selection does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

For inventory and supply chain optimization: All three parts are in active stock. Part 0334826202 has the highest inventory level (2392 units), followed by 0334826262 (1631 units) and 0334826227 (986 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 0334826202 or 0334826262 be used as a direct replacement for 0334826227 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical connector specifications including pitch, position count, contact type, mounting configuration, and fastening mechanism. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the three parts?

A: The primary differences are housing color (Black for 0334826227; Gray for 0334826202 and 0334826262) and insulation material composition. Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 also include documented operating temperature range (-40°C to 150°C) and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH) not specified for 0334826227.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when mixing these parts in the same assembly?

A: No compatibility issues exist. All three parts conform to the same MX150 33482 series specification and mate with identical contact sets and receptacle housings.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, parts 0334826202 or 0334826262 are preferred due to documented operating temperature specifications and explicit compliance certifications. Selection between 0334826202 and 0334826262 depends on color requirements and inventory availability, as these parts are otherwise equivalent.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with any of these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: Both Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) and Polyamide (PA/Nylon) with glass fill provide suitable insulation properties for this connector class. Material selection does not affect connector performance in equivalent applications. Both materials are glass-filled for enhanced mechanical strength.

Q: Are parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 identical?

A: Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 are parametrically equivalent. Both are gray, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and carry the same compliance certifications. Inventory levels differ (2392 units vs. 1631 units respectively).
