Molex 0347915181 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0347915181 is an 8-position receptacle housing for the Mini50 34791 connector series. This component is a gray polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing designed for free-hanging, in-line applications with crimp termination and latch holder fastening. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, color specification changes, or supply chain optimization while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0347915181 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector series (Mini50 34791)
• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (8)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Insulation material (PBT)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The Molex 0347915180 meets all substitution criteria. The only difference between these parts is the housing color (gray versus black), which does not affect electrical or mechanical function within the Mini50 34791 series specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0347915181 and 0347915180 are Active status products with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific color requirements. Where color specification is not a functional requirement, either part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the Mini50 34791 connector series. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0347915180 (black) be used in place of the 0347915181 (gray)?

A: Yes, provided that housing color is not a specified requirement in your application. All electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics are identical between these parts.

Q: Are the contact positions and pitch identical between these substitute parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 8 positions with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch in a single-row configuration. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the Mini50 34791 series.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 0347915181 and 0347915180 operate across -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical MSL 1 ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the "Contacts Not Included" note?

A: This housing requires separate female socket contacts to be crimped into the receptacle positions. Contact selection must match the Mini50 34791 series specification for proper mating and electrical performance.

Q: Can these housings be used with different connector series?

A: No. These housings are designed specifically for the Mini50 34791 series and are not compatible with other Molex connector series.
