Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0022552363 are qualified based on the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (36), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and contact termination method (crimp). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in equivalent applications. Variations in insulation material, operating temperature range, color, and series designation do not preclude substitution when the primary parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS regulations. The Molex parts (0022552363, 0022552361, and 0901430036) are ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. The Amphenol ICC parts (65043-019LF and 65239-018LF) are RoHS compliant; 65043-019LF carries REACH affected status while 65239-018LF is REACH unaffected.

For applications requiring the original operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, the Molex 0022552361 provides direct equivalence within the same series. The Molex 0901430036 extends the lower temperature limit to -55°C, suitable for expanded thermal environments. The Amphenol ICC 65239-018LF offers the widest operating range (-65°C to 125°C) and should be selected when extended thermal performance is required, noting the blue color variant.

Selection between Molex and Amphenol ICC manufacturers depends on supply chain requirements and regulatory compliance needs specific to the application region.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022552361 directly replace the 0022552363?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 36-position receptacle housing, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, and operating range of -40°C to 105°C. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Molex 0901430036 and the main part?

A: The 0901430036 belongs to the C-Grid III 90143 series and uses polyphenylene oxide (PPO) insulation instead of polyester glass-filled material. It extends the lower operating temperature to -55°C. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Why does the Amphenol ICC 65239-018LF have a blue color instead of black?

A: Color is a cosmetic parameter that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The blue housing is a design variant of the Amphenol ICC DUBOX series. Selection should be based on application requirements and visual identification needs.

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC parts suitable for REACH-regulated applications?

A: The 65043-019LF carries REACH affected status and requires compliance verification for specific applications. The 65239-018LF is REACH unaffected. Regulatory requirements vary by application region and should be confirmed during design phase.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range differences?

A: The main part and most substitutes operate from -40°C to 105°C. The Molex 0901430036 extends to -55°C, and the Amphenol ICC 65239-018LF extends to -65°C to 125°C. Selection depends on the thermal environment of the application.

Q: Do all substitute parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. All parts are 36-position receptacle housings with female socket contacts and crimp termination. Contacts are not included with any housing and must be sourced separately according to application requirements.
