Molex 0022285046 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022285046 is a vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 4-position connector operates at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pins with kinked solder termination. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in board-to-board or cable interconnect applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0022285046 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required
• Number of Positions: 4 — exact match required
• Number of Rows: 1 — exact match required
• Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — exact match required
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull — exact match required
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — minimum requirement
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant — minimum requirement
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) — minimum requirement

The three substitute parts listed below meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish, insulation material, and overall contact length are within acceptable tolerances for this connector category and do not affect functional interchangeability in standard through-hole applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with RoHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection among these alternatives depends on specific application requirements and supply chain considerations:

Preci-Dip 800-10-004-10-001101 provides the highest current rating specification at 3A per contact with documented operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. This part features circular contact geometry and gold-plated mating surfaces with 10.0µin thickness.

Harwin M20-9770446 offers cuttable connector design with square contact geometry and tin-plated termination surfaces. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C with 3A per contact current rating. Mated stacking heights are specified at multiple values: 10.04mm, 10.64mm, 11.04mm, and 16.54mm.

Sullins PRPC004SAAN-RC features breakaway connector design with square contact geometry and gold flash plating on both mating and post surfaces. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C with 3A per contact current rating and polybutylene terephthalate insulation material.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022285046 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts meet the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 4-position single-row configuration, male pin contact type, through-hole mounting, push-pull fastening, unshrouded design, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What are the differences in contact geometry between these parts?

A: The Molex 0022285046 and Harwin M20-9770446 and Sullins PRPC004SAAN-RC feature square contact geometry. The Preci-Dip 800-10-004-10-001101 uses circular contact geometry. Both geometries are compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch mating applications.

Q: Are there temperature operating range differences?

A: Yes. The Preci-Dip 800-10-004-10-001101 operates from -55°C to 125°C. The Harwin M20-9770446 and Sullins PRPC004SAAN-RC both operate from -40°C to 105°C. The Molex 0022285046 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: What is the difference between kinked pin and standard solder termination?

A: The Molex 0022285046 uses kinked pin solder termination, while all substitute parts use standard solder termination. Both termination styles are compatible with through-hole PCB assembly processes.

Q: Do these parts have different current ratings?

A: The Molex 0022285046 does not specify a current rating. The Preci-Dip 800-10-004-10-001101, Harwin M20-9770446, and Sullins PRPC004SAAN-RC all specify 3A per contact current rating.

Q: Are there contact finish differences?

A: Yes. The Molex 0022285046 features gold-plated mating surfaces with 30.0µin thickness and tin-plated posts with 100.0µin thickness. The Preci-Dip 800-10-004-10-001101 uses gold plating on both surfaces at 10.0µin thickness. The Harwin M20-9770446 uses tin plating on both surfaces. The Sullins PRPC004SAAN-RC uses gold flash plating on both surfaces.

Q: What insulation materials are used in these connectors?

A: The Molex 0022285046 uses glass-filled polyamide nylon. The Preci-Dip 800-10-004-10-001101 uses glass-filled polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate polyester. The Harwin M20-9770446 uses polyamide 6T nylon. The Sullins PRPC004SAAN-RC uses polybutylene terephthalate. All materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Are mated stacking heights specified for all parts?

A: Mated stacking heights are specified only for the Harwin M20-9770446 at 10.04mm, 10.64mm, 11.04mm, and 16.54mm. This information is not provided for the other parts.
