Molex 2014441208 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 2014441208 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Nano-Fit 201444 series. This component serves as the housing assembly for male pin connectors with a 2.50mm pitch configuration, designed for panel mount and snap-in applications. The part is actively manufactured and maintained in production status, with 6641 units currently in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to color availability, regional supply constraints, or design specification flexibility where connector color does not impact electrical function.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 2014441208 is limited to parts within the same Nano-Fit 201444 series that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary substitution criterion is the preservation of all critical parameters: 8-position configuration, 2.50mm pitch, 2-row layout, male pin contact type, crimp termination, and panel mount snap-in mounting. The only allowable variance is connector housing color, which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts must maintain the same operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), insulation material composition (PA66/Nylon 6/6), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 2014442208 is a direct functional equivalent to the 2014441208, differing only in housing color (Natural versus Black). Both parts maintain active production status and carry identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on design specification requirements for connector color. Where color specification is not a constraint, either part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Both parts are suitable for crimp termination applications with male pin contacts in 8-position, 2-row configurations at 2.50mm pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2014442208 be used as a direct replacement for the 2014441208?

A: Yes, the 2014442208 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 2014441208. The only difference is housing color (Natural versus Black). All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, pitch, position count, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector housings?

A: The primary difference is the housing color. The 2014441208 features a black housing, while the 2014442208 features a natural (undyed) housing. All other parameters, including electrical performance and mechanical compatibility, are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes, both the 2014441208 and 2014442208 operate within the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Temperature performance is not a differentiating factor between these parts.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact type and termination method?

A: Yes, both parts use male pin contacts with crimp termination. They are designed for use with the same contact sets and crimping tools within the Nano-Fit 201444 series.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No, both parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status. There are no differences in regulatory compliance or environmental certifications.

Q: What is the pitch and position configuration for both parts?

A: Both parts feature an 8-position configuration with a 2.50mm (0.098") pitch arranged in 2 rows with 2.50mm row spacing. The mechanical footprint and contact spacing are identical.
