Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0366330023 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (16 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Row spacing (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Insulation material and flammability rating

The substitute part Molex 0874271602 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring direct functional compatibility in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Parameter Comparison
