Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022283142 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header, breakaway design with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 14 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded single-wall construction
• Contact Geometry: Square contact shape with specified mating and post lengths
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA) nylon, glass-filled construction
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH status

The Molex 0022280142 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical configuration across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status transition from obsolete to active, with enhanced electrical specifications and updated series designation.

Parameter Comparison
