Molex 0022012225 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022012225 is a 22-position rectangular connector housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This receptacle housing features a polarizing key and is configured for crimp-style contact termination in a single-row, free-hanging inline mounting arrangement. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain supply chain continuity for legacy system support and new production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022012225 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing (non-gendered contact type in original; female socket in substitute)
• Position Count: 22 positions (exact match required)
• 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: Keyed design for orientation control

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 2-1375820-2 satisfies all substitution criteria. While the original Molex part specifies non-gendered contacts and the TE substitute specifies female socket contacts, both are receptacle housings compatible with standard 0.100" pitch crimp pin contacts. The TE part introduces a locking ramp fastening feature and white color (versus natural), representing functional enhancements rather than incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 2-1375820-2 is the direct active substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022012225. Selection is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The TE part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.
• Compliance Equivalence: Both parts meet RoHS requirements and carry MSL 1 ratings, supporting identical environmental and regulatory deployment scenarios.
• Functional Compatibility: Matching pitch, position count, row configuration, and crimp termination ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability within existing connector systems.
• Enhanced Features: The TE substitute includes a locking ramp fastening mechanism, providing improved mating security without compromising backward compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-1375820-2 directly replace the Molex 0022012225 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both housings accommodate 22 crimp contacts at 0.100" pitch in a single-row configuration. The TE part's locking ramp feature and white color represent functional improvements that do not prevent substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the contact type difference (non-gendered versus female socket)?

A: Both designations refer to receptacle housings. The contact type specification indicates the mating interface design. Standard 0.100" pitch crimp pin contacts are compatible with both housing types.

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

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 ratings. The TE part specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Verify this range meets your application requirements.

Q: Does the locking ramp fastening on the TE part affect compatibility?

A: No. The locking ramp is an additional feature that enhances mating security. It does not prevent the TE housing from functioning in applications designed for the original Molex part.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The Molex part is supplied in standard packaging; the TE substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm bulk packaging meets your procurement and handling requirements.
