Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0022012155 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing only
• Position Count: Exactly 15 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Row Configuration: Single row layout
• Mounting Style: Free hanging inline orientation
• Termination Method: Crimp contact interface
• Polarization: Polarizing key present

The substitute part Molex 0022013157 satisfies all these criteria. Variations in color, fastening type, and series designation do not affect functional interchangeability when these core parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022013157 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 0022012155. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical interface parameters. The substitute part carries active product status with established supply availability, addressing the procurement constraints associated with the obsolete main part.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system support. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) applies to both, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0022013157 be used as a direct replacement for the 0022012155?

A: Yes. Both parts are 15-position receptacle housings with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, single-row configuration, crimp termination, and polarizing key features. The functional interface is identical.

Q: Does the color difference between Natural and White affect compatibility?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance or interchangeability.

Q: What is the significance of the Locking Ramp fastening type on the substitute part?

A: The Locking Ramp is a mechanical feature on the 0022013157 that provides additional retention. This enhancement does not prevent compatibility with systems designed for the 0022012155, as the core housing geometry and contact interface remain unchanged.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The 0022013157 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The 0022012155 does not provide this specification in the available data. Both parts are suitable for standard industrial applications within this range.

Q: Do these parts require specific contact types?

A: Both housings are designed for crimp contacts. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be sourced separately according to the application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the series designations KK254, 6471 and KK254, 2695?

A: Both parts belong to the KK254 series family. The secondary series numbers (6471 and 2695) represent specific product variants within the KK254 line. The functional equivalence is maintained across these variants for the specified parameters.
