• Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected (substitute parts only)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable (main part) vs. 1 (Unlimited) (substitute parts)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

All three parts—0334826260, 0334826202, and 0334826262—are active products within the MX150 33482 series and share identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements:

0334826260 (Black Housing):

• Select when black housing color is a functional or aesthetic requirement
• Current inventory: 710 units
• Suitable for applications where color specification is critical to assembly or identification protocols

0334826202 and 0334826262 (Gray Housing):

• Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical parameters
• Both are RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing regulatory compliance assurance
• Both specify operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 150°C
• Both feature MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints
• 0334826202: 2392 units in inventory (highest availability)
• 0334826262: 1631 units in inventory
• Select gray housing variants when regulatory compliance documentation is required or when application environment demands specified temperature performance

Packaging Consideration:

Substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 are supplied in bulk packaging format, whereas the main part packaging format is not specified. Bulk packaging may affect procurement logistics and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 electrically and mechanically interchangeable with 0334826260?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical specifications for connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, and fastening mechanism. They are functionally equivalent within the MX150 33482 series.

Q: What is the primary difference between 0334826260 and the substitute parts?

A: The main difference is housing color: 0334826260 is black, while 0334826202 and 0334826262 are gray. Additionally, the substitute parts provide documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C), RoHS3 compliance, and REACH status, whereas these specifications are not provided for the main part.

Q: Can I use 0334826202 or 0334826262 in place of 0334826260 if color is not a constraint?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require black housing for identification, assembly, or functional purposes. The substitute parts offer additional compliance documentation and specified operating temperature performance.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: The main part specifies Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS), Glass Filled. The substitute parts specify both Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled and Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS). This indicates the substitute parts may incorporate dual material construction or material options within the same part number.

Q: What is the difference between 0334826202 and 0334826262?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary distinction is inventory availability: 0334826202 has 2392 units in stock, while 0334826262 has 1631 units in stock.

Q: Do these parts require separate contact components?

A: Yes. All three parts are connector housings only. The specification note states "Contacts Not Included." Crimp-terminated male blade contacts must be sourced separately and installed into the housing.

Q: What does MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) mean for the substitute parts?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 0334826202 and 0334826262 are RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current European regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
