Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: The Amphenol AT04-08PD and TE Connectivity DT04-08PD are functionally equivalent substitutes for the obsolete Molex 0934445247. Both are active products with established supply chains, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance and long-term availability.

For Enhanced Protection: The Amphenol AT04-08PD-EC01 provides identical core functionality with an integrated protective cap, suitable for applications requiring additional dust and contamination protection during storage or transport. This variant maintains the same electrical and mechanical compatibility while adding a protective feature.

Fastening Consideration: The TE Connectivity DT04-08PD features a latch lock fastening mechanism compared to the latch holder design of the Molex original and Amphenol alternatives. This difference does not affect electrical compatibility but may influence mechanical engagement characteristics in specific mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AT04-08PD directly replace the Molex 0934445247 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The AT04-08PD matches all critical parameters: 8-position receptacle, male pin contacts, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, and brown color. Both are ROHS3 compliant with equivalent environmental ratings.

Q: What is the difference between AT04-08PD and AT04-08PD-EC01?

A: The AT04-08PD-EC01 includes an integrated protective cap (cover) feature. Both share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection depends on whether cap protection is required for your application.

Q: Why does DT04-08PD use "latch lock" instead of "latch holder"?

A: The fastening mechanism differs between manufacturers. DT04-08PD employs a latch lock design while the Molex original and Amphenol alternatives use latch holder design. Both provide secure mechanical engagement; selection should consider your specific mounting interface requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts—AT04-08PD, DT04-08PD, and AT04-08PD-EC01—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the contact wire gauge compatibility for these connectors?

A: The AT04-08PD specification indicates 14-20 AWG wire gauge compatibility. Consult individual datasheets for precise contact specifications, as contacts are not included with housing purchases.
