Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 1111110220 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: zSFP+ (optical transceiver interface standard)
• Connector Style: Cage, Ganged (1 x 2) configuration
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle orientation
• Termination Method: Press-Fit technology
• EMI Shielding: Required feature
• Series Compatibility: Molex 111111 series

The substitute part must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters to ensure form, fit, and functional compatibility within the target application. Substitution is limited to parts meeting all specified criteria without exception.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 1111118220 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Molex 1111110220. Both components are manufactured by Molex within the 111111 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: zSFP+ connector type, ganged (1 x 2) cage style, through-hole right-angle mounting, press-fit termination, and EMI shielding.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status. The 1111110220 is classified as obsolete, while the 1111118220 is active and currently in production. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

The 1111118220 is available in higher inventory quantities (1116 pieces) compared to the 1111110220 (902 pieces), supporting sustained procurement requirements. The substitute part carries an ECCN classification of EAR99 and HTSUS code 8538.90.8180, appropriate for standard commercial distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 1111118220 be used as a direct replacement for the 1111110220?

A: Yes. The 1111118220 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1111110220 across all specified parameters, including connector type, mounting configuration, termination method, and EMI shielding. The parts are interchangeable within applications designed for the 1111110220.

Q: Why is the 1111110220 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1111110220 has been discontinued by Molex. The 1111118220 serves as the active production equivalent and is the recommended part for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there differences in RoHS compliance between the two parts?

A: No. Both the 1111110220 and 1111118220 are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory status.

Q: What is the significance of the ganged (1 x 2) configuration?

A: The ganged (1 x 2) configuration indicates that the cage accommodates two zSFP+ connector positions in a single mechanical assembly. This configuration must be maintained in any substitute part to ensure proper form and fit within the target application.

Q: Does the press-fit termination method differ between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts utilize press-fit termination technology, ensuring identical installation procedures and PCB integration methods.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations for substitution?

A: The 1111118220 is available in higher inventory quantities (1116 pieces) than the 1111110220 (902 pieces), supporting improved procurement lead times and supply chain continuity.
