Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022012105 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (10)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Contact type (Non-Gendered)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Polarizing key feature

The Molex 0022013107 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product with manufacturer recommendation for substitution. Variations in color (natural vs. white) and series designation do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the KK254 connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022013107 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 0022012105. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 0022013107 is actively produced and maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection of the active substitute ensures supply chain continuity, eliminates obsolescence risk, and maintains design compatibility without requiring circuit or assembly modifications. The color difference (white vs. natural) does not affect functional performance or electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0022012105 and 0022013107 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both housings share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (10), row configuration (1), mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line), and fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp). They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: Does the color difference between natural and white affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic parameter and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional operation. Both parts are suitable for identical applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 0022012105 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 0022013107 is actively produced, ensuring reliable supply availability and long-term design support. Transition to the active part is recommended for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 0022012105 and 0022013107 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use these housings with different contact types?

A: No. Both housings are designed for crimp termination with non-gendered contacts. Contact type and termination method are fixed design parameters and cannot be altered.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and does it affect storage?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard component storage practices apply without special humidity control requirements.
