Molex 0022012055 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022012055 is a 5-position rectangular connector housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This receptacle housing features a natural color finish, polarizing key, and crimp contact termination with locking ramp fastening. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The primary reason for seeking alternatives is the discontinued product status, which limits long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0022012055 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 1
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Locking Ramp
• Contact type: Non-Gendered
• Features: Polarizing Key
• Base product number: 002201

The Molex 0022013057 meets all substitution criteria. The primary difference is the color specification (white versus natural) and series designation (2695 versus 6471), which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022013057 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0022012055. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method.

The 0022013057 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

The color difference (white versus natural) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect functional compatibility or performance in standard applications. Selection between these parts should be based on design documentation requirements and visual identification needs within the assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022013057 directly replace the 0022012055 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0022013057 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 0022012055 across all functional parameters. Both housings accommodate 5 crimp contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with identical mounting and fastening specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between these parts?

A: The color difference (natural versus white) is a cosmetic specification that does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact compatibility. Color selection is typically driven by design documentation, assembly identification, or customer preference.

Q: Why is the 0022012055 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that Molex has discontinued manufacturing of this part number. The 0022013057 represents the active equivalent in the product line, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0022012055 and 0022013057 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 ratings, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 0022012055 is listed with no specified packaging, while the 0022013057 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect the functional or mechanical properties of the connector housing itself.
