Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the MX150 34985 series is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (16), number of rows (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening type (latch holder), sealed feature, insulation material composition, and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations exist only in color designation and packaging format (bulk or tray), which do not affect functional compatibility. The base product number 034985 remains constant across all equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between 0349852071 and equivalent models should be based on color requirement and packaging format availability. Part 0349851841 (black, bulk) offers the highest inventory level at 2643 pieces. Part 0349852157 (gray, bulk) carries REACH Affected status, which may require additional documentation in regulated supply chains compared to REACH Unaffected alternatives. For applications requiring tray packaging, 0349851601 (black, tray) is the sole option among the listed equivalents. All parts share identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and mechanical interface characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0349851841 replace 0349852071 in my application? A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent 16-position receptacle housings from the MX150 34985 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is color (black versus gray) and packaging format (bulk for both). Verify color requirements for your assembly process.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and tray packaging? A: Bulk packaging and tray packaging are different presentation formats for the same component. Tray packaging (0349851601) provides organized placement suitable for automated handling. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or bin storage. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Is 0349852157 compatible with my design if the original part is 0349852071? A: Yes, 0349852157 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. However, 0349852157 carries REACH Affected status while 0349852071 is REACH Unaffected. If your supply chain or end-use application requires REACH Unaffected certification, use 0349852071, 0349851601, 0349851605, or 0349851841 instead.

Q: Why would I choose 0349851605 (yellow) over other colors? A: Color selection is application-specific for circuit identification, wiring harness organization, or assembly documentation purposes. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical across all color variants. Choose based on your assembly or identification requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings? A: No. All parts in this series are housings only. Contacts must be ordered separately and crimped into the housing according to Molex specifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all these parts? A: All substitute parts operate across -40°C to 125°C. This range is consistent across the entire MX150 34985 series.
