Molex 2014442208 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 2014442208 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 currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector interface, allowing for design flexibility and supply chain alternatives.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 2014442208 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Plug housing)
• Contact type (Male pin)
• Number of positions (8)
• Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Mounting configuration (Panel mount, snap-in)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch holder)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH unaffected)

The identified substitute part maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in housing color, which does not affect functional performance or interface compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 2014442208 and 2014441208 are active production parts with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on design requirements for housing color. The natural color variant (2014442208) and black color variant (2014441208) are functionally and mechanically equivalent across all electrical parameters, connector geometry, and environmental specifications. Both parts support the same crimp contact termination, panel mount configuration, and operating temperature range. Supply availability and project-specific color requirements are the primary differentiators for component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 2014441208 (black) be used as a direct replacement for the 2014442208 (natural)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color.

Q: Are the crimp contact specifications identical between these two housing variants?

A: Yes. Both housings accept the same crimp-terminated male pin contacts and maintain identical contact retention and fastening mechanisms through the latch holder design.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 2014442208 and 2014441208 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical environmental and regulatory status.

Q: What is the significance of the different part numbers if the parts are functionally equivalent?

A: The part numbers distinguish the housing color variant. The 2014442208 specifies natural color, while 2014441208 specifies black color. This allows design documentation and procurement to specify the exact visual appearance required for the application.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental performance differences between the color variants?

A: No. Both variants use identical Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 insulation material and maintain the same -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Housing color does not affect thermal or environmental performance.

Q: Can these housings be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. However, design specifications should define whether color consistency is required for the application or assembly process.
