Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0022280213 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Molex
• Category: Rectangular Connectors
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 21
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Kinked Pin, Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 1 Wall
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Functional Differences:

• Fastening Type: Push-Pull (0022283213) vs. Friction Lock (0022280213)
• Product Status: Obsolete (0022283213) vs. Active (0022280213)
• Series: KK254, 42225 (0022283213) vs. KK254, 42227 (0022280213)

The 0022280213 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical pitch, position count, contact geometry, and termination method. The fastening mechanism difference does not affect mating compatibility with standard KK254 series receptacles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280213 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 0022283213. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 0022283213 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The 0022280213 maintains active product status with documented inventory availability, ensuring long-term procurement viability.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain equivalent compliance profiles with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The 0022280213 provides additional electrical specifications (600VAC/DC voltage rating, -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range) that support broader application requirements.

Mechanical & Electrical Compatibility: Identical pitch (0.100"), position count (21), contact geometry, and solder termination ensure direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability with existing receptacle designs and PCB layouts.

Fastening Mechanism Consideration: The fastening type difference (Push-Pull vs. Friction Lock) does not affect mating compatibility with standard KK254 series receptacles. Both mechanisms provide secure connection retention appropriate for the connector class.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0022280213 directly replace the 0022283213 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (21), contact geometry, and solder termination. Both are shrouded single-row headers with square male pins and tin-plated contacts. Existing PCB footprints and mating receptacles are compatible without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference?

A: The 0022283213 uses push-pull fastening while the 0022280213 uses friction lock. Both mechanisms provide secure connection retention. The difference does not affect electrical performance or mating compatibility with standard KK254 series receptacles. Selection between fastening types depends on application-specific requirements for connection force and user interface preference.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The 0022280213 provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC), while the 0022283213 does not specify these parameters. For applications requiring explicit thermal or voltage specifications, the 0022280213 offers complete documentation.

Q: Why is the 0022283213 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects Molex's product lifecycle management. The 0022280213 represents the active equivalent within the KK254 series family, offering identical functionality with ongoing manufacturing support and supply availability.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching pitch (0.100"), position count (21), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), termination (kinked pin solder), shrouding (1 wall), and contact finish (tin). These parameters ensure mechanical fit and electrical performance equivalence.
