Molex 0340620049 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0340620049 is a 2-position receptacle housing for the MX150 34062 connector series. This component is a black polyamide (PA6) rectangular connector housing designed for crimp termination with a 5.00mm pitch. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent housings maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, allowing direct replacement in applications where the original part number becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0340620053 is classified as a parametric equivalent to the 0340620049 based on the following critical substitution criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Both parts maintain identical connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (2), and pitch specification (5.00mm). Contact termination method (crimp) and fastening mechanism (latch holder) are identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Both housings feature single-row configuration, free-hanging in-line mounting, black polyamide (PA6) construction, and sealed design.

Environmental & Compliance Parameters: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 155°C), RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status are identical across both parts.

Series Designation: Both parts belong to the MX150 34062 connector series, confirming mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0340620049 and 0340620053 are active production parts with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements.

The 0340620053 currently maintains higher inventory levels (2854 pcs) compared to the 0340620049 (996 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume applications where supply continuity is a priority.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications subject to environmental restrictions. The MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions, eliminating moisture-related constraints for either part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
