Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0039299222 connector is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2. Selection of the Molex substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status Alignment: The TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2 is classified as obsolete, while the Molex 0039299222 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability.

Compliance Certification: Both connectors maintain identical compliance certifications including ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and UL94 V-2 flammability rating. Both components carry EAR99 export classification and share the same HTSUS commodity code.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: All critical parameters including connector geometry, pitch specifications, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings are identical between the two components. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for applications requiring 22-position rectangular headers with 4.20mm pitch and through-hole solder termination.

Inventory Availability: The Molex 0039299222 is available in active production quantities, providing supply chain continuity for applications currently using the obsolete TE Connectivity part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0039299222 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2?

A: Yes. The Molex 0039299222 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2. Both connectors share identical pitch specifications (0.165" / 4.20mm), position count (22), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), shrouding design (4-wall), and termination method (solder). All compliance certifications and electrical ratings are equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and product status. The TE Connectivity part is obsolete, while the Molex part is active. The Molex connector uses Polyamide PA66 (Nylon 6/6) insulation material compared to the TE Connectivity's Polyamide PA (Nylon) specification. The Molex part is supplied in tray packaging. Contact finish thickness on the mating surface differs slightly (35.4µin for Molex versus 118.1µin for TE Connectivity). These differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there any operating temperature limitations when substituting these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The Molex 0039299222 does not provide an explicit operating temperature specification in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance, the TE Connectivity specification of -55°C to 105°C should be used as the reference limit.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2 is rated for 600VAC. The Molex 0039299222 does not provide an explicit voltage rating specification in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed voltage performance, the TE Connectivity specification of 600VAC should be used as the reference limit.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2 and Molex 0039299222 are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors carry a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.

Q: How do the contact materials differ between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-1586489-2 uses copper alloy contacts, while the Molex 0039299222 uses brass contacts. Both materials are tin-finished for mating surfaces and provide equivalent electrical performance for standard applications.
