Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0015911221 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway configuration required
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 22 positions
• Number of Rows: 2 rows
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Contact Shape: Square
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Insulation Color: Black
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Sullins Connector Solutions GBC11DABN-M30 meets all critical substitution criteria. Variations in contact material, contact finish specifications, insulation material composition, and operating temperature range do not preclude functional equivalence when these parameters remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0015911221 and Sullins GBC11DABN-M30 maintain active product status and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements and availability:

The Molex 0015911221 is the primary specification. The Sullins GBC11DABN-M30 serves as a qualified equivalent when the Molex part is unavailable or when procurement lead times require alternative sourcing. Both parts satisfy the core mechanical and electrical interface requirements for 22-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch surface mount header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Sullins GBC11DABN-M30 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0015911221?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch, mounting method, and termination approach. The parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Tin vs. Gold), insulation material (LCP Glass Filled vs. Polyamide Nylon 9T), insulation height (0.090" vs. 0.100"), and contact length (0.240" vs. 0.230"). The Sullins part provides specified operating temperature (-65°C ~ 150°C) and current rating (3A).

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The Molex 0015911221 is supplied in Tube packaging, while the Sullins GBC11DABN-M30 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is acceptable for new designs. Selection should be based on availability, lead time, cost considerations, and specific application requirements regarding operating temperature and current handling.
