Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0894000220 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Connector type: Header
Contact type: Male pin
Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
Number of positions: 2
Number of rows: 1
Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 wall
Mounting type: Through hole

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance or equivalent RoHS certification, ensuring regulatory alignment with modern manufacturing standards. The Molex 0894000220 is obsolete; active alternatives include TE Connectivity 440054-2, TE Connectivity 6-440054-2, JST B2B-PH-KL, Harwin M22-2200246, and Sullins SWR201-NRTN-S02-SA-WH.

TE Connectivity parts (440054-2 and 6-440054-2) offer the highest current rating at 3A and voltage rating at 250V, with press-fit termination providing alternative assembly methods. The 6-440054-2 variant features black insulation and significantly higher inventory availability (127,296 pcs).

Harwin M22-2200246 maintains kinked pin termination matching the original design and offers PA9T insulation material with enhanced thermal properties. JST B2B-PH-KL and Sullins SWR201-NRTN-S02-SA-WH provide lower current ratings (2A and 1A respectively) and are suitable for applications within their specified electrical limits.

Selection should prioritize product status (all substitutes are active), compliance certifications, and application-specific electrical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 440054-2 directly replace Molex 0894000220 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (2), shrouding (4-wall), mounting type (through-hole), and contact materials (brass with tin finish). The primary difference is termination method: TE uses press-fit while Molex uses kinked pin. PCB pad design must accommodate press-fit termination.

Q: What is the difference between TE 440054-2 and TE 6-440054-2?

A: These parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary distinction is insulation color (natural vs. black) and inventory availability. The 6-440054-2 has significantly higher stock levels (127,296 pcs vs. 14,837 pcs).

Q: Are there electrical rating differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. TE parts support 3A at 250V. Harwin and JST parts support 2A at 100V and 125V respectively. Sullins supports 1A at 125V. Application electrical requirements must not exceed the substitute part's ratings.

Q: Does insulation material affect compatibility?

A: Harwin M22-2200246 uses PA9T insulation versus PA66 in other parts. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. PA9T offers enhanced thermal stability. This does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Can I use Sullins SWR201-NRTN-S02-SA-WH in high-current applications?

A: No. Sullins is rated for 1A per contact, the lowest among substitutes. Applications requiring higher current must use TE (3A) or Harwin/JST (2A) alternatives.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes meet RoHS requirements: TE, Harwin, and Sullins are ROHS3 compliant; JST is RoHS compliant.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All parts, including the original Molex component, carry this rating, ensuring no special storage or handling protocols are necessary.
