Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0022285367 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required
• Number of Positions: 36 — exact match required
• Number of Rows: 1 — exact match required
• Connector Type: Header with male pins — exact match required
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — exact match required
• Contact Shape: Square — exact match required
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull — exact match required

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Termination method (Solder acceptable for all substitutes)
• Contact Finish - Mating (Gold or Tin acceptable)
• Insulation Material (Polyamide or Polybutylene Terephthalate acceptable)
• Material Flammability Rating (UL94 V-0 required)
• RoHS Compliance Status (ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant acceptable)

The three identified substitute parts meet all primary matching criteria and maintain compatibility across secondary parameters. Variations in contact length, insulation height, and operating temperature ranges do not preclude substitution when mechanical fit and electrical performance requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status and full RoHS compliance certification. Selection between the Molex 0022285367 and its equivalents is based on the following engineering considerations:

TE Connectivity 3-826629-6 (AMPMODU Mod II Series): This part maintains gold mating contact finish identical to the Molex original and supports the highest current rating at 5A. The operating temperature range extends to -65°C, providing broader environmental coverage. The PBT insulation material offers enhanced chemical resistance compared to standard polyamide. This substitute is optimal for applications requiring maximum current capacity and extended low-temperature performance.

Harwin M20-9993645 (M20 Series, Gold Mating Finish): This part provides gold mating contact finish matching the Molex original and features a cuttable header design for flexible position configuration. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C covers standard industrial applications. The current rating of 3A per contact is suitable for general-purpose signal and low-power applications. This substitute is appropriate for designs requiring modular connector flexibility.

Harwin M20-9993646 (M20 Series, Tin Mating Finish): This part is functionally equivalent to the M20-9993645 with the exception of tin mating contact finish instead of gold. The tin finish reduces material cost while maintaining electrical performance for non-corrosive environments. This substitute is suitable for cost-optimized designs where gold plating is not a functional requirement.

All substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 3-826629-6 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0022285367?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (36), row configuration (1), and through-hole mounting type. The TE Connectivity part maintains gold mating contact finish and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary difference is insulation material (PBT vs. polyamide) and higher current rating (5A vs. unspecified). These differences do not preclude direct substitution in standard applications.

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

A: The M20-9993645 and M20-9993646 are identical except for mating contact finish. The M20-9993645 features gold mating contacts, while the M20-9993646 features tin mating contacts. Both support 3A per contact and operate across -40°C to 105°C. Selection between them depends on corrosion resistance requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Are the contact length differences between parts significant?

A: Contact length variations exist across the substitute parts (ranging from 0.240" to 0.320" mating length). These differences reflect design variations between manufacturers but do not affect mating compatibility when used with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles. Verify mechanical clearance in your specific PCB layout if space constraints exist.

Q: Do all parts support the same current and voltage ratings?

A: Current ratings vary: the TE Connectivity part supports 5A, while both Harwin parts support 3A per contact. The Molex original does not specify a current rating. Voltage ratings are not specified for any part. Verify current requirements against the substitute part's rating for your application.

Q: Are there any RoHS or environmental compliance differences?

A: All parts are RoHS compliant (Molex and Harwin are ROHS3 compliant; TE Connectivity is RoHS compliant). All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. No environmental compliance barriers exist between the original and substitutes.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your design does not depend on specific features unique to one manufacturer. Verify that your PCB layout accommodates any minor dimensional variations in insulation height or overall contact length. All parts are mechanically and electrically compatible at the 2.54mm pitch standard.
