Molex 0022284147 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022284147 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 14-position, single-row connector operates at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts. The connector is classified as active product status and is widely used in automotive, medical, telecommunications, and general-purpose applications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in board-level designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0022284147 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 14
• Number of rows: 1
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Style: Board to board or cable

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact shape: Square
• Insulation color: Black
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product status: Active

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring pin-to-pin compatibility and functional equivalence in circuit board applications. Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact finish thickness, and insulation material composition do not preclude substitution when the primary mating parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connectors maintain active product status and comply with RoHS regulations, ensuring long-term availability and environmental compliance. The Molex 0022284147 and Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) both feature gold-plated mating contacts, providing superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The Samtec TSW-114-24-T-S employs tin-plated mating contacts, which is acceptable for general-purpose applications but may exhibit different contact resistance characteristics in high-reliability or corrosive environments.

All three parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels, indicating suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without special handling requirements. The insulation material composition differs between the original Molex part (polyamide with glass fill) and the substitute parts (polybutylene terephthalate), but both material systems meet the specified flammability and electrical performance requirements.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on availability, lead time, and specific application requirements regarding contact finish performance and operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0022284147?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (14), row configuration (1), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (solder). The gold-plated mating contacts on both parts ensure equivalent electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec TSW-114-24-T-S and the other two options?

A: The Samtec part uses tin-plated mating contacts instead of gold plating. While all three connectors are electrically compatible at the 0.100" pitch and 14-position configuration, the contact finish affects contact resistance and corrosion resistance characteristics. The Samtec part operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 85°C for the Hirose part).

Q: Are there differences in contact length between these parts?

A: Yes. The Molex part has an overall contact length of 0.530" (13.46mm), the Hirose part measures 0.454" (11.54mm), and the Samtec part measures 0.480" (12.19mm). These variations do not affect mating compatibility but may influence board layout and mechanical clearance considerations.

Q: Do all three connectors have the same insulation material?

A: No. The Molex 0022284147 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass fill, while both the Hirose and Samtec parts use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both material systems meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified applications.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex and Samtec parts are ROHS3 compliant, and the Hirose part is RoHS compliant. All three meet environmental regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or assembly.
