Molex 0022283091 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022283091 is a vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting with 9 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part serves board-to-board and cable interconnection requirements across automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications sectors. Locating functionally equivalent active alternatives ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022283091 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header, Breakaway with Male Pin contacts
• Position Count & Arrangement: 9 positions in single row configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded - 1 Wall configuration
• Contact Materials & Finish: Gold-plated mating surface, tin-plated post
• Insulation Specifications: Polyamide (PA) nylon, glass-filled material with UL94 V-0 rating
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part Molex 0022280091 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility across all these parameters while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280091 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283091. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, contact materials, and finish specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 0022283091 is obsolete while the 0022280091 is active. This status difference, combined with the 0022280091's documented inventory availability (903 pieces in stock), establishes it as the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Both parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. Moisture sensitivity level remains at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both variants.

The fastening mechanism differs between the two parts (Push-Pull versus Friction Lock); however, this distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in standard board-to-board and cable interconnection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0022283091 and 0022280091 electrically compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical contact materials, finish specifications, and electrical characteristics. The gold-plated mating surface (15.0µin thickness) and tin-plated post (100.0µin thickness) are identical across both parts.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?
