Molex 0334826328 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0334826328 is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing from the MX150 33482 series. This component is a gray, sealed plug housing designed for male blade contacts with a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch configuration. The housing accommodates 2 rows of contacts and utilizes a crimp termination method with locking ramp fastening. This part is classified as Active product status and is suitable for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector family, allowing for interchangeability in applications where the core functional specifications remain constant.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0334826328 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following core parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug housing configuration
• Contact Type: Male blade contact interface
• Number of Positions: 12-position capacity
• Pitch Specification: 0.138" (3.50mm) contact spacing
• Number of Rows: 2-row arrangement
• Mounting Type: Free hanging, in-line orientation
• Contact Termination: Crimp-style termination
• Fastening Type: Locking ramp mechanism
• Color: Gray housing
• Sealed Feature: Environmental sealing capability
• Series Family: MX150 33482 series

The substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 maintain all of these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional interchangeability within the MX150 33482 connector family. Variations in insulation material composition and packaging format do not affect the core connector interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—0334826328, 0334826202, and 0334826262—are classified as Active product status within the Molex MX150 33482 connector series. The substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 carry RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for applications requiring these certifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Inventory Availability: Part 0334826202 maintains the highest inventory level at 2,392 pieces, followed by 0334826262 at 1,631 pieces, and the main part at 832 pieces.

2. Packaging Format: Part 0334826328 is supplied in standard packaging, while both substitute parts are available in bulk packaging, which may influence procurement logistics and cost structure.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 explicitly document RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the main part does not include these certifications in the provided data.

4. Operating Temperature Range: Substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 specify an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, providing defined thermal performance parameters.

All three parts maintain identical core connector interface specifications and are functionally interchangeable for applications within the MX150 33482 series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 directly interchangeable with 0334826328?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch spacing, row arrangement, mounting orientation, termination method, fastening mechanism, color, and sealed feature specifications. They are functionally interchangeable within the MX150 33482 series.

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

A: The core connector interface specifications are identical. Differences exist in insulation material composition (the main part specifies Syndiotactic Polystyrene glass-filled; substitutes specify Polyamide nylon glass-filled with Syndiotactic Polystyrene), packaging format (standard versus bulk), and documented regulatory certifications (RoHS3 and REACH status for substitutes).

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (standard versus bulk) does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector housing itself. It influences only procurement, storage, and handling logistics.

Q: Can I use part 0334826202 or 0334826262 in applications originally specified for 0334826328?

A: Yes. The substitute parts maintain all core electrical and mechanical parameters required for connector interface compatibility. Applications specified for the main part can utilize either substitute part without modification to the connector interface.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: This designation indicates that the connector housing is supplied without pre-installed male blade contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to application requirements and Molex specifications.

Q: Are there operating temperature considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The substitute parts 0334826202 and 0334826262 specify an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The main part does not include operating temperature data in the provided specifications. For applications with defined thermal requirements, the substitute parts provide explicit temperature performance documentation.
