Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0441331200 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the 0441331208 based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility:

Connector Type, Contact Type, Number of Positions, Pitch, Number of Rows, Row Spacing, Mounting Type, Contact Termination, Operating Temperature Range, Features, RoHS Status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level are identical between both parts. Both housings maintain the same mechanical interface geometry and electrical performance envelope required for the Micro-Fit 3.0 BMI 44133 series connector system.

The primary material difference—Polyamide (PA) Nylon in the 0441331208 versus Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Polyester in the 0441331200—does not affect the substitution relationship, as both materials meet the specified operating temperature range and environmental compliance requirements. Both parts are Active status products with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 0441331208 and 0441331200 are Active status products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and material preference. The 0441331200 offers significantly higher stock levels at 9213 units compared to 1924 units for the 0441331208, providing supply chain advantages for high-volume applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the Micro-Fit 3.0 BMI 44133 connector interface, ensuring direct interchangeability in panel-mount receptacle housing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0441331200 directly replace the 0441331208 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical connector geometry, pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. The housing interface with mating plug connectors and crimp contacts remains unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation materials used in these housings?

A: The 0441331208 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon insulation, while the 0441331200 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Polyester. Both materials satisfy the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature specification and maintain equivalent electrical performance within the Micro-Fit 3.0 series connector system.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0441331208 and 0441331200 are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Does the packaging format differ between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tray packaging. Inventory quantities differ, with the 0441331200 offering higher availability.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0441331208 and 0441331200 are housings only. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and assembled into the housing.
