Molex 0022283341 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022283341 is a vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting with 34 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement. The connector features shrouded single-wall construction with male pin contacts, gold-plated mating surfaces, and tin-plated posts suitable for solder termination in board-to-board or cable applications across automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general-purpose industries.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 0022283341 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Header, Breakaway design with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 34 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding & Geometry: Shrouded single-wall construction with matching contact lengths and insulation height
• Contact Materials & Finish: Gold-plated mating surfaces (15.0µin thickness) and tin-plated posts (100.0µin thickness)
• Insulation Composition: Polyamide nylon, glass-filled material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliance status

The Molex 0022280341 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical dimensions and material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022280341 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete Molex 0022283341. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, contact geometry, material composition, and finish specifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the 0022283341 is obsolete while the 0022280341 is active, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both components carry equivalent regulatory compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH, UL94 V-0) and are suitable for the same application domains.

The fastening mechanism differs between the two parts (Push-Pull versus Friction Lock); however, this distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in board-to-board or cable applications where the connector is soldered to the PCB.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 0022283341 and 0022280341 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical contact materials, finishes, and geometry. The gold-plated mating surfaces (15.0µin thickness) and tin-plated posts (100.0µin thickness) are equivalent across both parts.

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

A: Push-Pull fastening uses a mechanical latch mechanism for mated connector retention. Friction Lock relies on contact pressure for retention. In through-hole solder applications where the connector is permanently mounted to the PCB, this distinction has no functional impact on electrical performance or mechanical stability.

Q: Can I use the 0022280341 as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0022280341 maintains identical PCB footprint, contact spacing, and solder pad geometry. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 0022283341 is ROHS3 Compliant. The 0022280341 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the position count and pitch specification?

A: Both connectors feature 34 positions arranged in a single row with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, providing a total connector width of 3.4 inches (86.36mm).

Q: Are these connectors suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the 0022283341 and 0022280341 are listed for automotive applications and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification suitable for automotive electrical systems.
