Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0022283147 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Position count (14 positions)
• Row configuration (1 row)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating surface, Tin post)
• Insulation material category (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The Molex 0022280147 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same KK254 series family, offering functional and mechanical compatibility with identical electrical interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280147 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283147. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, contact geometry, and finish specifications.

The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS and regulatory compliance profiles, with MSL ratings suitable for standard handling and storage conditions.

The primary distinction between the parts is the fastening mechanism: the original part uses push-pull fastening while the substitute employs friction lock fastening. This difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard board-to-board or cable applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Molex 0022283147 and 0022280147 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (14), contact geometry, and mounting specifications. They are designed for direct substitution in through-hole applications.

Q: What is the difference between push-pull and friction lock fastening?

A: Push-pull fastening uses a mechanical latch mechanism for connection and disconnection. Friction lock fastening relies on contact pressure to maintain connection. Both methods provide secure mating in stationary applications. The choice depends on application requirements for connection frequency and disconnection force.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels. The substitute part provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC) specifications not listed for the original part.

Q: Can I use the 0022280147 as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with identical contact specifications, insulation materials, and interface dimensions. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The original Molex 0022283147 is obsolete with 709 pieces available in current stock. The substitute Molex 0022280147 is an active product with 711 pieces in stock, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacements.
