Molex 0334826293 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334826293 is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing designed for the MX150 33482 series. This component is a black, sealed plug housing with male blade contacts, featuring a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch and dual-row configuration. The housing is terminated via crimp contacts and secured with a locking ramp fastening mechanism. This part is classified as Active product status and is suitable for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications.

Substitute parts become necessary when the original part number is unavailable, when alternative material compositions are required for specific environmental conditions, or when packaging formats differ from project requirements. The substitute parts listed maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering variations in housing color and insulation material composition.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334826293 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Plug
• Contact Type: Must be Male Blade
• Number of Positions: Must be 12
• Pitch: Must be 0.138" (3.50mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 2
• Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Must be Crimp
• Fastening Type: Must be Locking Ramp
• Features: Must be Sealed
• Series: Must be MX150 33482

The substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations exist in housing color (gray versus black) and insulation material composition (Polyamide/Nylon with Syndiotactic Polystyrene versus Syndiotactic Polystyrene alone). Both substitute parts are Active status and maintain full compatibility with the MX150 33482 series ecosystem.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0334826293, 0334826202, and 0334826262—are Active status products within the Molex MX150 33482 series and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable based on the critical parameters that define connector compatibility.

The substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 provide documented operating temperature ranges of -40°C to 150°C and carry ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the main part 0334826293 does not specify these parameters in the provided data. Both substitute parts are classified as REACH Unaffected.

Selection between the substitute parts should be based on packaging requirements: part 0334826202 is available in Bulk packaging with 2,392 pieces in stock, while part 0334826262 is also available in Bulk packaging with 1,631 pieces in stock. The insulation material composition differs slightly between the main part and substitutes, with substitutes incorporating both Polyamide (PA) Nylon and Syndiotactic Polystyrene, whereas the main part uses Syndiotactic Polystyrene alone.

Housing color variation (black for 0334826293 versus gray for both substitutes) is a cosmetic distinction that does not affect electrical or mechanical function within the MX150 33482 series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 electrically compatible with the original 0334826293?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications: 12-position plug housing, male blade contacts, 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch, dual-row configuration, crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening. They are members of the same MX150 33482 series and are fully interchangeable from an electrical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 are functionally identical. The primary difference is inventory availability: 0334826202 has 2,392 pieces in stock, while 0334826262 has 1,631 pieces in stock. Both are supplied in Bulk packaging and feature gray housing with identical insulation material composition.

Q: Why does the main part 0334826293 have a different color than the substitutes?

A: The main part features black housing, while both substitute parts feature gray housing. This is a cosmetic distinction only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility within the MX150 33482 series.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The main part 0334826293 uses Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) with glass filling. The substitute parts incorporate both Polyamide (PA) Nylon and Syndiotactic Polystyrene with glass filling. Both material compositions are suitable for the sealed, free-hanging connector application and maintain the same mechanical and electrical properties required for MX150 33482 series compatibility.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The main part 0334826293 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data.

Q: What operating temperature range should be used for these connectors?

A: The substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 specify an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The main part 0334826293 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in my assembly?

A: Yes. All three parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the MX150 33482 series. Selection should be based on packaging availability, housing color requirements, and compliance certifications relevant to your application.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as specified in the MX150 33482 series documentation.
