Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Molex 1722533112 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Series compatibility: Both parts must belong to the Ultra-Fit 172253 series
• Contact type: Socket configuration required
• Termination method: Crimp termination only
• Wire gauge capacity: 20-22 AWG
• Contact finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Electrical classification: Power application type
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 and REACH status

The Molex 1722536112 meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same series and specification set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 1722536112 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 1722533112. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Ultra-Fit 172253 series. The 1722536112 maintains active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory continuity for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Selection of the 1722536112 eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving all functional and compliance characteristics of the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1722536112 be used as a direct replacement for the 1722533112?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts within the Ultra-Fit 172253 series with identical wire gauge (20-22 AWG), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), termination method (crimp), and regulatory compliance status. The 1722536112 is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1722533112 is obsolete. The 1722536112 provides the same functional and electrical characteristics while maintaining active product status and full availability.
