Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0022012196 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
• Number of Positions: Must be 19
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 1
• Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Must be Crimp
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be MSL 1 or equivalent

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-103648-8 meets all substitution criteria and is designated as the manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-103648-8 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022012196. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The TE Connectivity part carries active product status with documented availability, providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring 19-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings with crimp termination.

The primary difference is housing color (Natural versus Black), which does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The TE Connectivity part provides additional specification documentation including operating temperature range and insulation material composition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-103648-8 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0022012196?

A: Yes. Both parts are 19-position receptacle housings with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, single-row configuration, and crimp contact termination. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established across all critical parameters.

Q: Does the color difference between the housings affect compatibility?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute and does not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit. The Natural and Black variants are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are the contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the Molex 0022012196 and TE Connectivity 1-103648-8 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity, meaning the component does not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. Both parts carry this rating.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1-103648-8 is ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original Molex part.
