Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0014567202 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
Position Count & Pitch: Exactly 20 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) technology
Mounting & Fastening: Free-hanging in-line configuration with latch lock fastening
Wire Gauge Compatibility: 22 AWG primary specification; 22-26 AWG range acceptable for IDC receptacles with compatible contact geometry
Electrical & Mechanical Envelope: Single-row, closed-end design

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 6-103645-9 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. The wire gauge specification of 22-26 AWG encompasses the 22 AWG requirement of the primary part, as IDC contacts are designed to accommodate wire gauge ranges within their specified limits without loss of electrical or mechanical performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part - Molex 0014567202: Select this part for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and tin contact finish with 150.0µin thickness specification. The part is active in production with robust inventory availability (991 units in stock).

Substitute Part - TE Connectivity 6-103645-9: This part qualifies as a functional equivalent for applications where RoHS3 compliance is not a requirement. The tin-lead contact finish and 100.0µin thickness provide equivalent electrical performance for IDC termination applications. The wire gauge range of 22-26 AWG accommodates 22 AWG cables within standard IDC contact design tolerances. This part is also active in production with 678 units in stock.

Compliance Consideration: The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the TE Connectivity part lists RoHS status as "Not applicable." Applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements must use the Molex 0014567202 or verify that the TE Connectivity part meets applicable compliance mandates for the end-use market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 6-103645-9 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0014567202?

A: Yes, for applications where RoHS3 compliance is not required. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications: 20-position receptacle, 0.100" pitch, IDC termination, latch lock fastening, and free-hanging in-line mounting. The wire gauge range of 22-26 AWG on the TE part encompasses the 22 AWG specification of the Molex part.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these two parts?

A: The Molex 0014567202 features tin contact finish at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The TE Connectivity 6-103645-9 features tin-lead contact finish at 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness. Both finishes provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for IDC applications; however, the finish composition and thickness differ.

Q: Are these connectors compatible with the same mating plugs?

A: Yes. Both receptacles share the same 20-position, 0.100" pitch configuration with identical mechanical envelope and latch lock fastening. They are compatible with standard 20-position IDC plugs designed for this pitch and position count.

Q: Does the wire gauge range difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The TE Connectivity part specifies 22-26 AWG, which includes the 22 AWG requirement of the Molex part. IDC contact design accommodates wire gauge ranges within their specified limits without compromising electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the MSL rating for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations for storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The Molex 0014567202 has 991 units in stock, and the TE Connectivity 6-103645-9 has 678 units in stock, both listed as active products.
