Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280263 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283263. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in board-to-board and cable applications.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The 0022280263 maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards, maintaining regulatory compliance in automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.
• Electrical Specifications: The substitute provides defined operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC), offering enhanced documentation for system design validation.
• Mechanical Interchangeability: Identical pitch, position count, contact geometry, and mounting configuration ensure direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

The only functional difference is the fastening mechanism: the original uses Push-Pull fastening, while the substitute employs Friction Lock fastening. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical mating performance in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022280263 be used as a direct replacement for the 0022283263?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for pitch (0.100"), position count (26), contact geometry, mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (kinked pin solder). The 0022280263 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between Push-Pull and Friction Lock fastening?

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

Q: Are there any PCB layout changes required when switching from 0022283263 to 0022280263?

A: No. Both connectors have identical footprints, pitch spacing, and mounting hole configurations. Existing PCB designs require no modification.

Q: Does the substitute part meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The substitute provides additional documented specifications including operating temperature range and voltage rating, which were not specified for the original part.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both connectors are specified for automotive, general purpose, medical, and telecommunications applications. The UL94 V-0 rating and through-hole mounting design support high-reliability interconnect requirements in these sectors.

Q: Is there any difference in contact finish or material composition?

A: No. Both connectors use tin contact finish (100.0µin/2.54µm thickness) and polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation material. Contact material specifications are not provided for either part.
