Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0348404010 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Plug housing with male blade contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 8 positions at 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch
• Physical Layout: 2 rows with 0.236" (6.00mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Fastening: Panel mount/bulkhead configuration with twist latch mechanism
• Material & Environmental Rating: SPS glass-filled insulation with IP67K protection
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination

The substitute part Molex 0348404010 meets all these criteria while maintaining active product status and current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0348404410 maintains ROHS3 compliance and provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), supporting long-term design continuity and supply chain reliability. Selection of the 0348404410 eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full functional and physical compatibility with existing connector systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0348404410 be used as a direct replacement for the 0348404010?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, fastening mechanism, and insulation material. The 0348404410 is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 0348404010 is obsolete, while the 0348404410 is active. The 0348404410 also includes a documented operating temperature specification (-40°C ~ 125°C). All functional and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0348404010 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 0348404410 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the 0348404010 and 0348404410 are housing-only components. Male blade contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What certifications apply to these connectors?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 0348404410 is REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8536.69.4030.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: The 0348404010 has MSL 1 (unlimited). The 0348404410 has MSL not applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.
