Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0934442105 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 3 positions across 2 rows
• Mounting & Termination: Free hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch holder fastening type
• Environmental Rating: IP68 protection standard
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors DT04-3P satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. While color differs (gray vs. yellow), this is a cosmetic parameter that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The DT04-3P maintains identical position count, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and fastening mechanism, with equivalent or superior environmental protection (IP68 and IP6K9K).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors DT04-3P is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Molex 0934442105. Selection is based on:

• Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification
• Active Production Status: The DT04-3P is actively manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying environmental and hazardous substance restrictions
• Enhanced Environmental Protection: The DT04-3P provides IP6K9K rating in addition to IP68, offering equivalent or superior performance in demanding environments
• Established Compatibility: Identical position count, row configuration, and fastening mechanism ensure direct functional replacement without circuit redesign

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT04-3P directly replace the Molex 0934442105 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The DT04-3P maintains identical connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, and fastening mechanism. No circuit or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: Does the color difference between yellow (Molex) and gray (TE Connectivity) affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic parameter that does not affect electrical function, mechanical fit, or environmental performance. Both housings provide equivalent IP68 protection.

Q: Are the environmental ratings equivalent?

A: The DT04-3P exceeds the original specification. While the Molex 0934442105 provides IP68 protection, the DT04-3P provides both IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, offering enhanced performance in high-pressure wash environments.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The Molex 0934442105 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. The TE Connectivity DT04-3P is actively manufactured and widely available, ensuring reliable long-term procurement.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0934442105 and TE Connectivity DT04-3P are RoHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the Molex 0934442105 and DT04-3P are housings only. Contacts must be sourced and crimped separately according to application requirements.
