Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022282350 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Connector pitch and position count: 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing with 35 positions
Mounting configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
Contact system: Male pin, tin-plated contacts with square contact shape
Shrouding design: Shrouded with 1 wall
Termination method: Solder termination
Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), nylon, glass-filled construction
Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The Molex 0022281350 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical values across all these critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is active production, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022281350 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022282350. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part is currently in active production status with 1115 units available in inventory, compared to the original part's obsolete classification.

Both parts carry equivalent compliance certifications: ROHS3/RoHS compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, EAR99 export classification, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. The substitute part provides additional specification data including operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC), which were not provided for the original part.

Selection of the substitute part is appropriate for all applications currently using the original part number, with no design modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0022282350 and 0022281350 fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (35), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), contact configuration (male pin, tin-plated), shrouding design (1 wall), and insulation material (polyamide nylon, glass-filled). All mechanical and electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 0022282350 is obsolete, while the 0022281350 is in active production. The substitute part also specifies operating temperature (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC). Both parts belong to the KK254 series but reference different series designations (42226 vs. 42228).

Q: Can I use the 0022281350 in existing designs that call for the 0022282350?

A: Yes. No PCB layout modifications or design changes are necessary. The substitute part maintains identical contact spacing, mounting hole positions, and overall dimensions.

Q: What is the fastening type difference between these parts?

A: The original part specifies Push-Pull fastening, while the substitute specifies Friction Lock fastening. Both are mechanical retention methods for the mating connector interface and do not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original part is ROHS3 compliant, and the substitute is RoHS compliant. Both meet current environmental regulations for restricted substances.

Q: What inventory status should I consider?

A: The substitute part (0022281350) has 1115 units in stock as new original inventory. The original part (0022282350) has 687 units available but is classified as obsolete, meaning no future production is planned. For new designs or ongoing production, the substitute part is the recommended choice.
