Molex 0022012195 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022012195 is a 19-position rectangular connector housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This receptacle housing features a polarizing key and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability in new production, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and redesign efforts where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0022012195 must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional compatibility:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing only
• Position Count: Exactly 19 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Row Configuration: Single row layout
• Mounting Style: Free hanging, in-line orientation
• Termination Method: Crimp contact interface
• Polarization: Presence of polarizing key or equivalent keying mechanism

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-1375820-9 meets all these substitution criteria. Both housings accommodate 19 crimp contacts at 2.54mm pitch in a single-row, free-hanging configuration with polarizing features to prevent incorrect mating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1375820-9 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022012195. Both parts are classified as obsolete, indicating neither is in active production. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: Both parts show current stock levels (1089 pcs for Molex, 1030 pcs for TE Connectivity). Availability may vary by distributor and time of procurement.
• Compliance Status: Both parts meet RoHS and ECCN requirements. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant status while the Molex part is ROHS3 Compliant, both acceptable for most applications.
• Physical Differences: The TE Connectivity substitute features a locking ramp fastening mechanism and white color versus the natural color of the original. These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility with standard 2.54mm pitch crimp contacts.
• Contact Compatibility: Both housings accept identical crimp contact designs for 0.100" pitch applications. Existing contact inventory remains interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1375820-9 directly replace the Molex 0022012195 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both housings are 19-position receptacles with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, single-row, free-hanging configuration, and crimp termination. They accept the same contact designs and maintain polarization through keying features. The color and fastening mechanism differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are the crimp contacts interchangeable between these two housings?

A: Yes. Both housings are designed for standard 0.100" pitch crimp contacts. Contacts specified for either the Molex KK254 or TE Connectivity CST-100 II series at 2.54mm pitch are mechanically and electrically compatible with both housings.

Q: What is the significance of the locking ramp feature on the TE Connectivity part?

A: The locking ramp is a mechanical retention feature that provides additional mating security. It does not affect compatibility with mating connectors or contact insertion. This feature may be beneficial in applications requiring enhanced vibration resistance.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts meet RoHS and ECCN EAR99 requirements. The Molex part is ROHS3 Compliant and the TE Connectivity part is RoHS Compliant. Both are acceptable for applications with standard environmental and export compliance requirements.

Q: Why are both parts classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates these connector designs are no longer in active production by their respective manufacturers. This is common for 0.100" pitch rectangular connectors as the industry has transitioned to higher-density and specialized connector families. Existing inventory from authorized distributors remains available for replacement and repair applications.

Q: Does the color difference (natural vs. white) affect performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic characteristic only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental protection. Both natural and white housings provide equivalent insulation and polarization functionality.
