Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0874270642 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 0366330035 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender match exactly (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration are identical (6 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing are identical (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Mounting method and termination type are identical (Through Hole, Solder)
• Shrouding configuration and fastening mechanism are identical (Shrouded - 4 Wall, Locking Ramp)
• Contact material, finish, and insulation material specifications are identical
• Flammability and RoHS compliance ratings are equivalent or superior

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 0366330035 is obsolete while the 0874270642 is active, with significantly higher inventory availability (2866 pcs vs. 848 pcs).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0874270642 is the direct functional equivalent of the 0366330035. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all defined parameters, including connector architecture, contact configuration, termination method, and material composition. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

The 0874270642 is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and superior inventory availability. The obsolete status of the 0366330035 indicates that Molex has transitioned production to the 0874270642 variant, making the substitute the current production equivalent within the Mini-Fit Jr 87427 series.
