Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0348033212 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0348030212 based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical manufacturer (Molex)
• Same series designation (CTX64, 34803)
• Matching socket contact type
• Identical crimp termination method
• Same wire gauge specification (20 AWG)
• Identical tin contact finish
• Equivalent RoHS3 compliance
• Same moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Shared base product number (034803)

The primary distinction is product status: the 0348030212 is obsolete while the 0348033212 maintains active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.
