Molex 2014441108 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 2014441108 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Nano-Fit 201444 series. This component serves as the housing interface for male pin contacts in applications requiring a 2.50mm pitch connector system. The part is actively manufactured and maintained in production status. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, color specification requirements, or supply chain considerations while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 2014441108 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Plug housing with male pin contact interface
• Electrical Interface: 8-position configuration with 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch
• Physical Configuration: 2-row arrangement with 0.098" (2.50mm) row spacing
• Mechanical Interface: Free hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch holder fastening
• Material & Environmental Compliance: Polyamide (PA66) insulation, ROHS3 compliant, operating range -40°C to 105°C

The identified substitute part (2014442108) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only variation is the housing color (Natural vs. Black), which does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 2014441108 and 2014442108 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Color Requirement: If black housing is specified in the design, use 2014441108. If natural housing is acceptable or specified, use 2014442108.

2. Inventory Availability: The 2014442108 (Natural) maintains higher inventory levels (2867 pcs) compared to 2014441108 (Black, 959 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume procurement scenarios.

3. Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and environmental operating specifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory acceptance.

4. Supply Chain Continuity: Both parts are active production items with no planned discontinuation, supporting long-term design stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2014442108 be used as a direct replacement for 2014441108?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is housing color (Natural vs. Black). Substitution is valid if color specification is not a design constraint.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the black and natural housing versions?

A: No. Both versions use identical Polyamide (PA66) insulation material, maintain the same operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), and provide equivalent electrical performance. Housing color does not affect connector function.

Q: Do both parts support the same contact types and termination methods?

A: Yes. Both parts are 8-position plug housings designed for male pin contacts with crimp termination. They are fully compatible with the same contact set and assembly processes.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and does it affect substitution?

A: Both parts feature a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch with 2-row configuration and 0.098" (2.50mm) row spacing. This specification is identical across both parts and is a critical parameter for mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 2014441108 and 2014442108 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both parts are configured for free hanging in-line mounting with latch holder fastening, providing identical mechanical interface characteristics.
