Molex 0936014397 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0936014397 is a heavy duty connector hood designed for top entry applications with PG36 thread size and 32B configuration. This component provides IP66 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) suitable for industrial environments requiring sealed electrical connections. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The GWconnect series hood connector delivers reliable performance across the operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C with ROHS3 compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Molex 0936014397 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood connector with top entry configuration
• Size Designation: 32B configuration
• Thread Size: PG36 mechanical interface
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom
• Physical Dimensions: 3.701" L x 3.268" W x 4.604" H
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum alloy, die cast with powder coat finish
• Base Product Number: 093601 family

The substitute part 0936014395 maintains all these critical parameters while offering enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP69 versus IP66) and active product status, making it a direct functional equivalent for applications requiring sealed connector hood solutions in the GWconnect series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0936014395 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 0936014397. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, physical dimensions, and core connector specifications within the GWconnect series. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the 0936014397 is obsolete while the 0936014395 maintains active production status.

The 0936014395 provides equivalent or enhanced performance characteristics. The ingress protection rating of IP66/IP69 on the substitute part exceeds the IP66 specification of the original part, offering improved waterproof capability for applications exposed to high-pressure water jets. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

For new designs or system replacements, the 0936014395 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and availability. Existing installations using the 0936014397 can transition to the 0936014395 without modification to mounting interfaces or connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0936014395 directly replace the 0936014397 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces, thread sizes (PG36), locking mechanisms, and physical dimensions (3.701" L x 3.268" W x 4.604" H). The 0936014395 is a direct mechanical and functional equivalent with no installation modifications required.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these parts?

A: The 0936014397 provides IP66 protection (dust tight, water resistant). The 0936014395 provides IP66/IP69 protection, which includes resistance to high-pressure water jets. Both ratings ensure sealed operation in industrial environments; the substitute offers enhanced protection for applications with high-pressure water exposure.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 0936014397 is explicitly ROHS3 compliant. The 0936014395 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data. Verify RoHS compliance requirements with Molex technical documentation if regulatory compliance is a critical selection criterion.

Q: Why is the 0936014397 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation of production. The 0936014395 represents the active production equivalent within the GWconnect series, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: The 0936014397 specifies -40°C to 125°C operating temperature. The 0936014395 operating temperature is not specified in the provided data. Confirm temperature specifications with Molex if thermal performance is a design requirement.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 0936014397 packaging is not specified. The 0936014395 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.
