Single-row header layout
Through-hole mounting capability
Male pin contact type
Solder termination
Push-pull fastening type
UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on contact finish specifications:

Category A: Gold Mating Contact Finish — Parts with gold-plated mating surfaces (3M 961136-6404-AR, Samtec HTS-136-G-AA, Sullins PBC36SA series)

Category B: Tin Mating Contact Finish — Parts with tin-plated mating surfaces (Sullins PEC36SAAN)

All listed substitutes maintain identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting method. Variations in contact post length and insulation material do not affect functional interchangeability for standard board-to-board applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with RoHS3 requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment with the Molex 0022285366 baseline.

For direct replacement with minimal design impact: Select 3M 961136-6404-AR or Samtec HTS-136-G-AA. Both maintain gold mating contact finish and single-row 36-position configuration. The 3M part operates within -25°C to 105°C and carries 2A current rating. The Samtec part provides ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity.

For extended temperature applications: Sullins PBC36SA series (PBC36SAAN through PBC36SAHN) and PEC36SAAN support -65°C to 125°C operating range with 3A current rating, exceeding the temperature envelope of the primary part.

For contact finish variation: Sullins PEC36SAAN provides tin mating contact finish as an alternative to gold, maintaining identical 36-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with PBT insulation and UL94 V-0 rating.

For post length selection: Sullins PBC36SA variants offer post lengths ranging from 0.120" to 0.820", enabling accommodation of different PCB thicknesses and stacking heights. Selection depends on specific board-to-board spacing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the Molex 0022285366 with any of the listed parts?

A: Yes, all listed parts are functionally equivalent based on core parameters: 36-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, single-row layout, through-hole mounting, and male pin contact type. Selection depends on specific application requirements such as operating temperature range, contact finish preference, and post length.

Q: What is the difference between gold and tin mating contact finishes?

A: Gold mating contacts (Molex 0022285366, 3M 961136-6404-AR, Samtec HTS-136-G-AA, Sullins PBC36SA series) provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin mating contacts (Sullins PEC36SAAN) offer cost efficiency while maintaining electrical performance for standard applications. Both finishes are compatible with standard PCB pad materials.

Q: Do post length variations affect compatibility?

A: Post length variations in the Sullins PBC36SA series (0.120" to 0.820") do not affect electrical compatibility but impact mechanical fit. Longer posts accommodate thicker PCBs or stacked connector configurations. Shorter posts suit standard single-board applications. Select based on your specific board thickness and stacking requirements.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the regulatory status of the Molex 0022285366.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the Molex 0022285366?

A: The Molex part does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. Substitute parts with specified ranges include 3M 961136-6404-AR (-25°C to 105°C) and Sullins parts (-65°C to 125°C). For temperature-critical applications, select substitutes with documented operating ranges.

Q: Can I mix and match different substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes, all listed parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable due to identical pitch, position count, and contact configuration. However, maintain consistency within a single assembly to simplify procurement and inventory management.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Molex 0022285366 and most Sullins substitutes are supplied in Bulk packaging. Samtec HTS-136-G-AA is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging does not affect component functionality but may impact handling and storage procedures.
