Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a TE Connectivity MTA-100 series connector to replace the Molex 0022423064?
A: Yes. TE Connectivity MTA-100 series 6-position receptacles with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, IDC termination, and matching wire gauge are direct functional substitutes. The core electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, including position count, pitch, contact configuration, and termination method.
Q: What is the difference between the 22 AWG, 24 AWG, 26 AWG, and 28 AWG variants?
A: Wire gauge determines the maximum wire diameter that the IDC contacts can accommodate. The Molex 0022423064 is specified for 22 AWG wire. Substitutes must match the wire gauge of the cable being terminated. Using an incorrect wire gauge may result in poor contact or wire damage. Select the substitute part number that corresponds to your cable specification.
Q: What is the difference between tin and gold contact finishes?
A: Tin finish (80.0µin thickness) provides standard corrosion resistance and is suitable for general industrial applications. Gold finish (30.0µin thickness) offers enhanced corrosion resistance and superior contact reliability in high-humidity or chemically aggressive environments. Gold-plated contacts are typically specified for critical applications requiring maximum reliability.
Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?
A: Yes. Most TE Connectivity MTA-100 substitutes are supplied in bulk packaging. The 3-641311-6 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is suitable for automated assembly processes. Select packaging based on your manufacturing requirements.
Q: Why does the Molex 0022423064 show as obsolete?
A: The Molex 0022423064 is no longer in active production. TE Connectivity MTA-100 series receptacles are active products with ongoing manufacturing and inventory support, making them the recommended replacement for new designs and ongoing maintenance applications.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All recommended TE Connectivity MTA-100 series substitutes are RoHS compliant. The Molex 0022423064 is ROHS3 compliant, and substitute parts meet or exceed this regulatory requirement.
Q: What is the MSL rating, and why does it matter?
A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture precautions required. Both the Molex 0022423064 and all TE Connectivity MTA-100 substitutes carry MSL rating 1, ensuring compatibility in standard storage and handling conditions.
