Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022283202 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type and gender (Male Pin)
• Mating pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Position count and row configuration (20 positions, 1 row)
• Mounting methodology (Through Hole)
• Termination process (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 1 Wall)
• Contact geometry (Square shape)
• Insulation material composition (Polyamide/Nylon, Glass Filled)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The Molex 0022280202 satisfies all substitution criteria as an active product within the KK254 series family, providing direct functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280202 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283202. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts comply with RoHS directives and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications. The substitute part provides additional operating temperature specification (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC) documentation, supporting comprehensive design validation. Selection of the 0022280202 eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0022283202 and 0022280202 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (20), row configuration (1), contact dimensions, insulation height, and shrouding design. Through-hole mounting footprints are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The 0022283202 is obsolete, while the 0022280202 is active. The substitute part includes documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC). Fastening type differs: the main part uses Push-Pull, while the substitute uses Friction Lock.

Q: Can the 0022280202 be used in existing designs specified for the 0022283202?

A: Yes. Mechanical compatibility is complete. The substitute part's Friction Lock fastening provides equivalent board-to-board or cable connection security within the same connector family.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The main part specifies ROHS3 compliance, while the substitute specifies RoHS compliance. Both meet regulatory requirements for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for the mating surface?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. The main part specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, while the substitute specifies 3.00µin (0.076µm) thickness. Both provide corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact.
