Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0022285144 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or remain compatible:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — determines mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
• Number of Positions: 14 — ensures identical pin count and board layout compatibility
• Number of Rows: 1 — maintains single-row configuration for PCB footprint alignment
• Contact Type: Male Pin — ensures proper mating with female receptacles
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — confirms solder attachment method compatibility
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull — maintains connector engagement mechanism
• Insulation Material Compatibility: Polyamide (PA) or Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) — both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold — ensures reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant — meets environmental regulatory requirements

The three substitute parts listed below satisfy these core parameters and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the Molex 0022285144 in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain Active product status and meet or exceed the regulatory and compliance requirements of the Molex 0022285144. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71): This part is RoHS Compliant and features PBT insulation material with specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and current rating of 3A. The contact geometry differs slightly from the Molex part, with shorter overall contact length (0.454" versus 0.545"). This part is suitable for applications where PBT material properties and the specified thermal range are acceptable.

Harwin M20-9991445: This part is ROHS3 Compliant and features PA6T nylon insulation with extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and current rating of 3A per contact. The connector type is designated as Cuttable, providing design flexibility for custom pin configurations. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher temperature operation and modular pin count options.

Harwin M20-9991446: This part is ROHS3 Compliant and features PA6T nylon insulation with the same extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and current rating (3A per contact) as the M20-9991445. The primary distinction is the contact finish on the mating surface, which is Tin rather than Gold. This part is suitable for cost-sensitive applications where tin-plated contacts are acceptable and higher temperature operation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these substitute parts mechanically compatible with the Molex 0022285144?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (14), row configuration (1), and mounting type (through hole). They are mechanically interchangeable on standard PCB layouts designed for 2.54mm pitch headers.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in the same application?

A: Interchangeability depends on application-specific requirements. All parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability and RoHS compliance standards. However, differences in contact finish (gold versus tin on M20-9991446), insulation material (PBT versus PA6T), and operating temperature ranges may affect suitability for specific environments. Verify that the selected part's specifications align with your application's thermal, electrical, and environmental requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the two Harwin M20 parts?

A: The M20-9991445 and M20-9991446 are identical except for the contact finish on the mating surface. The M20-9991445 features gold-plated mating contacts, while the M20-9991446 features tin-plated mating contacts. Both parts have identical electrical ratings, temperature ranges, and mechanical specifications. Selection between them depends on contact finish requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Does the Hirose part have different contact dimensions?

A: Yes. The Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) has a shorter overall contact length (0.454" versus 0.545" for the Molex part) and different contact length specifications for both mating and post sections. These dimensional differences do not affect standard PCB compatibility but may impact applications with specific contact engagement or stacking height requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. All parts listed are supplied in Bulk packaging, consistent with the Molex 0022285144.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: Molex 0022285144 (1061 pcs), Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) (1009 pcs), Harwin M20-9991445 (1669 pcs), and Harwin M20-9991446 (2421 pcs).
