Molex 0022153113 FFC Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022153113 is an 11-position FFC (Flat Flexible) connector with bottom-mounted contacts, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, and right-angle through-hole termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The part operates within a 200V rating and supports 1A current capacity across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for FFC connectors is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count: Both parts must have identical position counts (11 positions)
Pitch: Both parts must maintain the same pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting Configuration: Both parts must support through-hole, right-angle mounting
Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed voltage (200V minimum) and current (1A minimum) requirements
Termination Compatibility: Contact type and termination method must be compatible with PCB assembly processes
Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and operating temperature range must be verified

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 6-520314-1 qualifies as a substitute based on matching position count, pitch, mounting type, and electrical ratings. However, the contact configuration differs (top-mounted contacts versus bottom-mounted), requiring design verification for mechanical fit and PCB layout compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 6-520314-1 is an active production substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022153113. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and meet the electrical requirements of the original design. The substitute part provides enhanced specifications including higher voltage rating (250V versus 200V) and extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C versus -40°C).

The primary design consideration is the contact configuration difference: the original part features bottom-mounted contacts while the substitute features top-mounted contacts. This difference affects PCB footprint and assembly orientation. The substitute also exhibits a lower profile (0.190" versus 0.260" above board), which may provide space advantages in compact designs.

The TE Connectivity part is available in active inventory (6786 units) compared to the obsolete Molex part, ensuring long-term procurement availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 6-520314-1 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0022153113?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically compatible in terms of position count, pitch, and mounting type. However, the contact orientation differs (top versus bottom), requiring PCB layout modification. The substitute's lower profile may also affect mechanical clearance in existing designs.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are contact orientation (bottom versus top), height above board (0.260" versus 0.190"), termination method (solder versus kinked pin), and product status (obsolete versus active). Electrical ratings and operating temperature ranges are compatible or exceed the original specification.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity part suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 6-520314-1 is in active production status with full ROHS3 compliance. It meets all electrical requirements and provides enhanced specifications compared to the obsolete Molex part.

Q: What is the significance of the contact orientation difference?

A: Contact orientation determines which side of the PCB the connector mounts to and how the flat flexible cable interfaces with the connector. Bottom-mounted contacts attach to the underside of the PCB, while top-mounted contacts attach to the upper side. This requires corresponding PCB footprint and assembly process adjustments.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Molex part packaging information is not specified in the available data. The TE Connectivity part is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings.
