Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0334861601 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Plug housing with male blade contacts
• Electrical Interface: 16-position layout with 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch spacing
• Physical Configuration: 2-row arrangement with free-hanging inline mounting
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
• Mechanical Interface: Locking ramp fastening mechanism
• Environmental Sealing: Sealed design classification
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance requirement

The substitute part 0334828601 maintains full parametric equivalence across all these criteria while offering active product status and improved availability.
