Molex 0022012115 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022012115 is an 11-position receptacle housing for rectangular connectors with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is part of the KK254 series and features a polarizing key for proper mating alignment. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The housing accepts crimp-terminated contacts and is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022012115 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing only
• Number of Positions: Exactly 11 positions
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Number of Rows: Single row configuration
• Mounting Type: Free hanging, in-line orientation
• Contact Termination: Crimp-style contacts
• Fastening Type: Locking ramp mechanism
• Features: Polarizing key present

The Molex 0022013117 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct functional equivalent. The primary difference is the housing color (natural versus white) and product status (obsolete versus active), with the active part offering superior availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022013117 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0022012115. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The 0022013117 is classified as active product status, providing assured long-term availability and manufacturer support compared to the obsolete designation of the original part.

Selection of the 0022013117 is appropriate for new designs, redesigns, and ongoing production support where the 0022012115 is no longer procurable. The housing color difference (white versus natural) does not affect electrical or mechanical function and is a cosmetic distinction only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0022013117 be used as a direct replacement for the 0022012115 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 11-position receptacle housings with 0.100" pitch, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening, and polarizing key features. The housing color difference is cosmetic and does not affect performance or compatibility.

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

A: The 0022012115 is classified as obsolete, indicating Molex no longer manufactures or supports this part. The 0022013117 is active product, meaning it is currently manufactured and available through authorized distributors. For procurement planning, the active part ensures supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). They meet the same regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: Does the series designation difference (KK254, 6471 versus KK254, 2695) affect compatibility?

A: No. Both parts belong to the KK254 series family. The secondary series numbers reflect internal Molex product line organization but do not impact mechanical or electrical compatibility with mating components.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 0022012115 and 0022013117 are housings only. Crimp-terminated contacts must be sourced separately and inserted into the housing.
