Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 1-87133-0 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic requires exact matching of the following parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Number of positions (8)
Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Number of rows (2)
Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
Contact termination method (Crimp)
Color (Black)
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Both identified substitute parts from Molex meet these criteria and are classified as parametric equivalents suitable for direct replacement in applications currently utilizing the TE Connectivity 1-87133-0.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-87133-0 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making the Molex substitute parts necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Molex 0022552081 is the primary substitute option. This part is active in production with significantly higher inventory availability (28,144 pieces). It carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory documentation. The part is supplied in bulk packaging and operates across the -40°C to 105°C temperature range.

Molex 0022566087 is an alternative substitute option. This part is also active in production with adequate inventory availability (8,897 pieces). It carries identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The part is supplied in bulk packaging and operates across the same -40°C to 105°C temperature range.

Both Molex substitutes meet all parametric requirements for direct replacement. Selection between the two should be based on procurement lead times, inventory requirements, and supplier availability at the time of component sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0022552081 or 0022566087 be used as direct replacements for TE Connectivity 1-87133-0?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts are parametric equivalents matching all critical specifications: 8-position receptacle housing, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, free-hanging in-line mounting, and black color. All three parts share identical MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0022552081 and 0022566087?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are inventory availability (0022552081 has 28,144 pieces versus 8,897 for 0022566087) and base product numbers (002255 versus 002256). Both are active production parts with equivalent compliance certifications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (TE Connectivity 1-87133-0, Molex 0022552081, and Molex 0022566087) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The Molex substitute parts operate from -40°C to 105°C. The TE Connectivity original part does not specify an operating temperature range in available documentation.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1-87133-0 is RoHS Compliant. Both Molex substitutes (0022552081 and 0022566087) are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an enhanced compliance standard.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both Molex substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume production and assembly operations.

Q: Can I use these connectors in applications requiring REACH compliance documentation?

A: The Molex substitute parts carry REACH Unaffected status, providing clear regulatory documentation. The original TE Connectivity part lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined.
