Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0010892226 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway configuration
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 22
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 4-103149-0-11 meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting orientation, and contact finish specifications. Functional compatibility is established through matching connector type, contact gender, and electrical interface parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-11 provides functional equivalence to the Molex 0010892226 based on matching critical electrical and mechanical interface parameters. Both connectors are classified as end-of-life products, with the Molex part marked obsolete and the TE Connectivity part discontinued at distribution.

Compliance considerations differ between the two parts. The Molex 0010892226 maintains ROHS3 compliance, while the TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-11 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must account for this distinction during component selection.

Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height between the two connectors. The TE Connectivity part provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (3A), whereas the Molex part does not include these parameters in available documentation. Design validation should confirm these specifications meet application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-11 directly replace the Molex 0010892226 in existing designs?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical interface perspective. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (2.54mm), position count (22), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (male pin), and mounting orientation (through-hole, right-angle). Physical board layout compatibility is established through these matching parameters. However, minor dimensional differences in contact length and insulation height should be evaluated for specific mechanical clearance requirements.

Q: What are the compliance implications of substituting these parts?

A: The primary compliance difference is RoHS status. The Molex 0010892226 is ROHS3 compliant, while the TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-11 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements must maintain compliance through component selection. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and unlimited moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Are there dimensional considerations for PCB layout?

A: Yes. The Molex part specifies 0.200" (5.08mm) insulation height, while the TE Connectivity part specifies 0.238" (6.05mm). Contact post lengths also differ: 0.110" (2.79mm) for Molex versus 0.120" (3.05mm) for TE Connectivity. These variations may affect clearance to adjacent components or board features. Verify PCB layout accommodates the substitute part's physical envelope.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these connectors?

A: The Molex 0010892226 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-11 uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for general-purpose interconnection applications. Contact finish specifications (gold mating surface, 30.0µin thickness) are identical, ensuring equivalent mating performance.

Q: Are operating temperature specifications available for the Molex part?

A: Operating temperature is not specified in available Molex 0010892226 documentation. The TE Connectivity 4-103149-0-11 specifies -65°C ~ 105°C operating range. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance, the TE Connectivity part provides explicit specification. Design validation should confirm the substitute part's temperature range meets application requirements.
