• Number of Positions: 30
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header, Breakaway
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 1 Wall
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled

The Molex 0022280301 meets all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications while offering active product status and enhanced operational specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280301 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283301. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in board-level applications.

The 0022280301 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The substitute part provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (600VAC/DC), specifications not provided for the original part. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity ratings.

The primary functional difference is the fastening mechanism: the original part uses push-pull fastening, while the substitute employs friction lock fastening. This distinction affects mating and unmating procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical interface compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0022283301 and 0022280301 pin-for-pin compatible?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (30), row configuration (1), contact geometry, and mating interface dimensions. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the board level.

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

A: Push-pull fastening uses a mechanical latch mechanism for mating and unmating. Friction lock fastening relies on contact pressure to maintain connection. Both methods provide secure mating; the selection depends on application requirements for mating force and disconnect procedure.

Q: Can I use the 0022280301 as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: The 0022280301 is a direct substitute for the 0022283301 in applications where the mating connector is compatible with friction lock fastening. Verify that the mating connector design accommodates the fastening type difference.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated for flammability, RoHS compliant, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity). Both carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: Why is the 0022283301 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The 0022280301 represents the active equivalent within the Molex KK254 series, providing continued design support and procurement availability.
