Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0347960202 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 2-position configuration with 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch
• Mechanical Interface: Single-row, free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch holder fastening
• Series Compatibility: MX150 34796 series designation
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The substitute part identified maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in color and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0347960201 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the 0347960202. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the MX150 34796 series. The primary distinction is product status: the 0347960202 is classified as obsolete, while the 0347960201 maintains active status with current manufacturing support.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL rating 1, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. The color difference (natural versus black) represents a cosmetic variation with no impact on electrical or mechanical performance.

Selection of the 0347960201 is supported by its active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing consistency for new procurement cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0347960201 directly replace the 0347960202 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. They share the same series designation, contact configuration, pitch, mounting type, and termination method. The color difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 0347960202 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The 0347960201 maintains active status with ongoing production support. For new designs or replenishment procurement, the active part number ensures supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL rating 1. They meet the same regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: Does the color difference affect connector performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute determined by the insulation material. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0347960202 and 0347960201 are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing.
