Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0008550111 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Contact termination method: Crimp
• Wire gauge compatibility: 22-30 AWG range
• Contact finish: Gold or equivalent conductive plating
• Connector category: Rectangular connectors
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

Substitution Logic:

The Molex 0008550102 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical wire gauge range (22-30 AWG), matching crimp termination, gold contact finish with equivalent thickness (15.0µin), and active product status within the same KK254 series family. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating.

The TE Connectivity 1470106-1 functions as a compatible alternative despite minor parameter variations. While the wire gauge range narrows to 22-28 AWG (subset of the original 22-30 AWG specification), the crimp termination method remains consistent. The contact finish differs to tin plating with increased thickness (60.0µin), which provides equivalent electrical performance for rectangular connector applications. Both parts share ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating, with active product status ensuring supply chain availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0008550102 is the primary recommended substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 0008550111, including wire gauge range, contact finish, and finish thickness. Active product status ensures reliable supply chain availability with substantial inventory (115,262 pcs). Both parts share equivalent compliance certifications and series compatibility within the KK254 family.

TE Connectivity 1470106-1 serves as a secondary alternative for applications where socket contact configuration is acceptable. The narrower wire gauge range (22-28 AWG) accommodates the majority of standard applications within the original specification. Tin plating with increased thickness provides equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for rectangular connector applications. Active product status and robust inventory (4,180 pcs) support supply continuity. This option is suitable when connector architecture permits socket contact substitution.

Both substitute parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with regulated manufacturing environments and long-term reliability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0008550102 be used as a direct replacement for the 0008550111?

A: Yes. The 0008550102 provides direct substitution with identical wire gauge range (22-30 AWG), crimp termination, gold contact finish, and finish thickness. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL rating. The primary advantage is active product status, ensuring supply availability.

Q: What is the key difference between the TE Connectivity 1470106-1 and the original part?

A: The 1470106-1 features socket contact configuration versus non-gendered contacts, and wire gauge range of 22-28 AWG versus 22-30 AWG. Contact finish is tin rather than gold, with increased thickness (60.0µin). These differences are acceptable for rectangular connector applications where socket contacts are compatible with system architecture.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0008550102 and TE Connectivity 1470106-1 maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching the regulatory requirements of the original 0008550111.

Q: Does wire gauge range affect substitution eligibility?

A: Wire gauge range defines the acceptable conductor sizes for crimp termination. The Molex 0008550102 matches the full 22-30 AWG range. The TE Connectivity 1470106-1 operates within 22-28 AWG, which covers standard applications but excludes 29-30 AWG conductors. Selection depends on specific wire gauge requirements in your application.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The Molex 0008550102 is supplied in bulk packaging. The TE Connectivity 1470106-1 is supplied in cut tape (CT) format. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: How do contact finish materials affect performance?

A: Gold plating (0008550111, 0008550102) and tin plating (1470106-1) both provide reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for rectangular connector applications. Tin plating with increased thickness (60.0µin) offers enhanced durability in high-cycle mating environments. Selection depends on specific environmental and performance requirements.
