Molex 2014442104 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 2014442104 is a 4-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 free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The part is actively manufactured and maintains full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative housing colors or inventory availability necessitate component selection from the qualified substitute list.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 2014442104 are qualified based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

  • Connector type (Plug)
  • Contact type (Male Pin)
  • Number of positions (4)
  • Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
  • Number of rows (2)
  • Row spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm)
  • Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
  • Contact termination method (Crimp)
  • Fastening type (Latch Holder)
  • Insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
  • Operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 2014442104 and 2014441104 are active production components with identical RoHS3 and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts should be based on housing color requirements specific to the application or assembly process. The natural-colored 2014442104 and black-colored 2014441104 are functionally and mechanically interchangeable for all electrical and thermal operating conditions. Both parts maintain Glow Wire compliance and operate across the full -40°C to 105°C temperature range. Component selection may also consider current inventory availability, as both parts are maintained in active stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2014442104 and 2014441104 electrically compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical. They share the same connector type, contact configuration, pitch specification, and termination method. The only difference is housing color.

Q: Can I substitute the natural-colored housing with the black-colored housing in my assembly?

A: Yes, provided that housing color does not affect your application requirements or assembly specifications. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 2014442104 and 2014441104 operate across -40°C to 105°C and maintain identical thermal performance characteristics.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch with 2 rows and 0.098" (2.50mm) row spacing in a 4-position configuration.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. Both parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing assembly.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both parts are configured for free-hanging in-line mounting with latch holder fastening.
