Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0366330040 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and series consistency (Molex Mini-Fit Jr 87427)
• Connector type and contact configuration (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row arrangement (2 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating row spacing (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Right Angle, Solder)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact geometry and material (Square, Brass with Tin finish)
• Insulation specifications (Polyamide PA46, Nylon 4/6, Beige)
• Regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The substitute part Molex 0874270202 meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent within the Mini-Fit Jr 87427 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
