Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022283283 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 28
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Kinked Pin, Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 1 Wall
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin

The Molex 0022280283 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While the fastening type differs (Friction Lock versus Push-Pull), both mechanisms are compatible with the same mating interface and do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280283 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283283. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical mating parameters, including pitch, position count, contact geometry, and termination method. The primary distinction is the fastening mechanism (Friction Lock versus Push-Pull), which does not compromise interchangeability in standard board-to-board or cable applications.

The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS and flammability compliance (UL94 V-0), with identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute provides additional specification data including operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC), which were not documented for the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022280283 be used as a direct replacement for the 0022283283 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (28), row configuration (1), contact geometry, termination method, and shrouding design. The fastening mechanism difference does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications.

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

A: Push-Pull fastening uses a mechanical latch mechanism for secure connection and disconnection. Friction Lock relies on contact pressure to maintain connection. Both are compatible with the same mating interface and provide equivalent mechanical retention in stationary applications.

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

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The substitute part (0022280283) provides documented operating temperature and voltage specifications, whereas the original part (0022283283) does not include these parameters in available documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The original part (0022283283) is obsolete with 728 units in stock. The substitute part (0022280283) is Active with 1092 units in stock, providing superior long-term availability.

Q: Are the contact dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Contact length - mating (0.295"), contact length - post (0.135"), overall contact length (0.555"), and insulation height (0.337") are identical across both parts.

Q: Do both parts use the same insulation material?

A: Yes. Both connectors use Polyamide (PA) Nylon, Glass Filled insulation with black color and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.
