Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0340620004 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (2)
• Pitch specification (5.00mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
• Housing color (Black)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3)
• MSL rating (1)

The Molex 0340620024 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the MX150 34062 series, with the primary distinction being active product status and bulk packaging availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
