Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0022283111 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Position count (11 positions)
• Row configuration (1 row)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Contact finish at mating surface (Gold)
• Insulation material composition (Polyamide/Nylon, Glass Filled)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The Molex 0022280111 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280111 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283111. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, contact geometry, and material composition. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting regulatory requirements for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications. The primary difference between the parts is the fastening mechanism: the original uses Push-Pull fastening while the substitute employs Friction Lock fastening. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in applications where the connector is soldered to the PCB.

The substitute part is packaged in bulk format, whereas packaging information for the original part was not specified. Both parts are classified as moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022280111 be used as a direct replacement for the 0022283111?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters. Both maintain 11 positions at 2.54mm pitch, identical contact geometry, gold-plated mating surfaces, and through-hole solder termination. The substitute is an active product, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between Push-Pull and Friction Lock fastening?

A: Push-Pull fastening uses a mechanical latch mechanism for connector engagement and disengagement. Friction Lock fastening relies on contact pressure to maintain connection. In PCB-soldered applications where the connector remains permanently mounted, this difference has no functional impact on electrical performance or mechanical stability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0022283111 and 0022280111 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for use in automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage and handling practices are sufficient; no special desiccant packaging or baking procedures are required.

Q: Are the series designations interchangeable?

A: The parts belong to the same KK254 connector family but are designated as series 42225 (original) and 42227 (substitute). The series variant reflects the fastening mechanism difference. For PCB-mounted applications, the series designation does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both parts are specified for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance support use in regulated environments including automotive and medical device assemblies.
