Molex 0022552222 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0022552222 is a 22-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component serves as the housing structure for female socket contacts in dual-row configurations, commonly used in industrial control, telecommunications, and data acquisition systems. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments. Substitute parts may be required due to supply constraints, regional availability, or design standardization across manufacturing platforms.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0022552222 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle housing with female socket contacts
Position Count & Pitch: 22 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
Physical Layout: Dual-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
Mounting Configuration: Free hanging (in-line) orientation
Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-87631-7 meets all substitution criteria within these parameters. Both parts accommodate identical contact configurations and mounting requirements, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring 22-position rectangular connector housings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0022552222 and TE Connectivity 1-87631-7 are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, qualifying them for current production use. The TE Connectivity part provides an extended lower operating temperature limit (-65°C versus -40°C), offering broader thermal range coverage for applications requiring sub-zero performance. The TE Connectivity part includes detent lock fastening, whereas the Molex part does not specify a fastening mechanism. Both parts utilize crimp termination and accommodate identical 22-position, dual-row configurations at 0.100" pitch. Selection between these parts depends on specific application thermal requirements and fastening feature necessity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-87631-7 directly replace the Molex 0022552222?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting orientation, and contact termination method. They are functionally equivalent for applications within the Molex operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: The Molex part uses polyester glass-filled insulation, while the TE Connectivity part uses thermoplastic insulation. Both materials meet ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 requirements. Material selection affects mechanical properties and environmental resistance but does not impact electrical compatibility for standard rectangular connector applications.

Q: Does the detent lock feature on the TE Connectivity part affect compatibility?

A: The detent lock is an additional mechanical feature that enhances mating security. Its presence does not prevent substitution; however, applications designed without detent lock accommodation should be evaluated for mechanical fit during integration.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. Both parts carry Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making them appropriate for current production and new design implementations.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature ranges?

A: The Molex part operates from -40°C to 105°C, while the TE Connectivity part operates from -65°C to 105°C. The TE Connectivity part supports extended low-temperature applications. Both support the upper temperature limit of 105°C.
