Molex 0022285147 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022285147 is a vertical 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. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component substitution within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0022285147 are identified based on strict alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters define substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 14
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Connector Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Shrouding: Unshrouded
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Insulation Color: Black
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Hirose Electric Co Ltd part A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. Variations in contact length dimensions, insulation material composition (PBT versus PA/Nylon), and contact finish thickness remain within acceptable tolerances for board-level interconnection applications. The substitute part maintains equivalent electrical performance through matching contact geometry, pitch spacing, and plating specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0022285147 and Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

The Molex part features a kinked pin termination design, while the Hirose substitute employs standard solder termination. Both approaches provide reliable through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The Hirose part specifies operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) and electrical ratings (3A at 200V), providing defined performance boundaries for circuit design. The Molex part does not specify these parameters in the provided data.

Contact finish thickness differs between the two parts: the Molex connector specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on mating contacts, while the Hirose part specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm). Both thicknesses provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for standard board-level interconnection applications. Insulation material composition varies (PA/Nylon glass-filled versus PBT), with both materials meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements, PCB design constraints, and supply chain considerations. Both parts are suitable for equivalent functionality in rectangular connector header applications requiring 14-position, 2.54mm pitch male pin configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0022285147?

A: Yes, the Hirose part qualifies as a substitute based on matching critical parameters including position count, pitch spacing, contact type, mounting method, and contact finish specifications. Both parts are 14-position, single-row headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and male pin contacts suitable for through-hole mounting.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector headers?

A: Primary differences include termination design (kinked pin versus standard solder), insulation material composition (PA/Nylon glass-filled versus PBT), and contact finish thickness on mating surfaces. The Hirose part provides specified operating temperature range and electrical ratings, while the Molex part does not include these specifications in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0022285147 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) is RoHS Compliant. Both parts meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

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

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures during storage and handling.

Q: Do these connectors have the same physical dimensions?

A: While both connectors maintain identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm) and position count (14), contact length dimensions vary. The Molex part specifies overall contact length of 0.545" (13.84mm), while the Hirose part specifies 0.454" (11.54mm). These dimensional differences may affect PCB layout and mating depth considerations in specific applications.

Q: What flammability rating do these connectors carry?

A: Both the Molex 0022285147 and Hirose A2-14PA-2.54DSA(71) carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, meeting fire safety requirements for industrial and consumer electronic applications.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes, both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing availability and supply chain support.
