Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0366330020 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 4-position, 2-row header with 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Shrouding & Contact Type: Shrouded 4-wall design with male pin contacts
• Material & Finish Specifications: Brass contacts with tin finish, polyamide insulation, UL94 V-0 rated
• Termination Method: Solder termination with locking ramp fastening
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rating

The substitute part Molex 0874270402 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing a direct functional replacement for the obsolete 0366330020.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0874270402 is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete Molex 0366330020. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all defined parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 0874270402 is actively manufactured and stocked, while the 0366330020 is obsolete.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring the Mini-Fit Jr 87427 series 4-position, 0.165" pitch right-angle header connector, the 0874270402 is the appropriate selection. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors designed for the original part number.
