Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0334828822 is determined by maintaining identical electrical and mechanical parameters across the following criteria:

• Connector Type: Must be Plug
• Contact Type: Must be Male Blade
• Number of Positions: Must be 16
• 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

Variations in color, insulation material composition, and packaging format do not affect functional interchangeability when all core parameters remain constant. The substitute part Molex 0334828602 satisfies all substitution criteria while offering alternative material and color specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0334828822 and Molex 0334828602 are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Molex 0334828822 (Black SPS Housing)

• Current inventory: 632 units
• Insulation material: Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS), Glass Filled
• Suitable for applications requiring black connector housings
• Product status: Active

Molex 0334828602 (Gray PA/Nylon Housing)

• Current inventory: 1754 units
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled; Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS)
• Operating temperature range specified: -40°C ~ 150°C
• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• Suitable for applications requiring gray connector housings
• Packaging: Bulk
• Product status: Active

Both parts maintain identical connector functionality, position count, pitch, and termination method. The substitute part offers higher inventory availability and documented operating temperature specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0334828602 directly replace the Molex 0334828822 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and fastening method. The primary differences are color (gray versus black) and insulation material composition. Functional interchangeability is maintained across all core parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials between these parts?

A: The main part uses Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) with glass filling. The substitute part uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon with glass filling in combination with Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS). Both material compositions are suitable for sealed connector housings. Material selection may be driven by specific application requirements, environmental conditions, or manufacturing availability.

Q: Does the substitute part have documented operating temperature specifications?

A: Yes. The Molex 0334828602 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The main part does not include operating temperature specifications in the provided data.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part (0334828822) packaging is listed as unspecified. The substitute part (0334828602) is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The Molex 0334828602 is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both parts carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code alignment for regulatory purposes.

Q: Why is inventory availability different between these parts?

A: The main part has 632 units in stock, while the substitute has 1754 units available. Higher inventory for the substitute part may reflect production scheduling, demand patterns, or manufacturing prioritization within the MX150 series.
