Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022283078 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Position count: 7 positions
• Row configuration: Single row
• Contact type: Male pin
• Mounting method: Through hole solder
• Shrouding configuration: Shrouded - 1 wall
• Contact finish: Gold plating on mating surface
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA) or Nylon-based compounds
• Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0

The Molex 0022280078 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. Both connectors share the same pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, mounting method, and shrouding design. Both feature gold-plated mating contacts and polyamide insulation materials meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.
