Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0349006030 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Blade Socket)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.157" / 4.00mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Sealed design requirement

The primary substitute identified is Molex 0349006130, which maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in housing color (gray versus black) and product status (active versus obsolete). Additional substitutes within the MXP120 34900 series (0349006119, 0349006140, 0349006128, 0349006111) share the same core functional parameters and are listed as alternatives to 0349006130.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0349006030 is obsolete; therefore, the 0349006130 is the recommended direct substitute for new designs and ongoing procurement. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The 0349006130 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete 0349006030.

For applications where housing color is not a functional requirement, the 0349006130 provides complete electrical and mechanical interchangeability. Secondary substitutes within the MXP120 34900 series (0349006119, 0349006140, 0349006128, 0349006111) are available through the 0349006130 substitution chain and maintain the same core specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0349006130 directly replace the 0349006030 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 0349006130 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 0349006030. Both housings accommodate the same 6-position, 4.00mm pitch female blade socket contacts with crimp termination. The only difference is housing color (gray versus black), which does not affect functional performance.

Q: Why is the 0349006030 listed as obsolete?

A: The 0349006030 has been discontinued by Molex. The 0349006130 serves as the active production equivalent and is the recommended replacement for procurement and design purposes.

Q: Are there compatibility concerns with the different housing colors?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection between black (0349006030) and gray (0349006130) housings is based on application requirements and design specifications only.

Q: What is the significance of the sealed design feature?

A: The sealed design provides environmental protection for the connector contacts. Both the main part and substitute maintain this sealed feature, ensuring equivalent environmental performance in applications requiring moisture or contamination resistance.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0349006030 and 0349006130 are housings only. Female blade socket contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 0349006030 and 0349006130 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), ensuring equivalent regulatory and environmental compliance.
