Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280135 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 0022283135. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical mating characteristics, including pitch, position count, contact geometry, and termination method. The substitute part is currently in active production status with full inventory availability.

The 0022280135 provides enhanced compliance documentation with explicit operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC) specifications. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), suitable for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications.

The primary functional difference is the fastening mechanism: the substitute uses friction lock versus the original push-pull design. This change does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard board-to-board or cable interconnect applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0022280135 directly replace the 0022283135 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (13), contact geometry, and solder termination specifications. The mechanical footprint and electrical performance are equivalent for standard interconnect applications.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference (Push-Pull vs. Friction Lock)?

A: The fastening mechanism affects connector mating and unmating force characteristics. Push-pull fastening provides audible/tactile feedback during engagement, while friction lock relies on contact pressure. Selection depends on application-specific requirements for connector retention and ease of service.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and MSL 1 (Unlimited). The 0022280135 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 0022283135 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both are suitable for regulated applications in automotive, medical, and telecommunications sectors.

Q: Why does the 0022280135 have lower gold plating thickness on the mating contact?

A: The 0022280135 specifies 3.00µin (0.076µm) versus 30.0µin (0.76µm) for the original part. Both thicknesses meet industry standards for gold-plated contacts in low-signal and power applications. The difference reflects manufacturing process updates in the active production series.

Q: Is the 0022280135 available in the same packaging as the 0022283135?

A: Both parts are supplied as individual connector headers with identical physical dimensions and mounting interfaces. Packaging specifications are not differentiated between the two part numbers for standard through-hole applications.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. The explicit operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 105°C for the 0022280135 and 600VAC/DC voltage rating support these application categories.
