• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header with breakaway or cuttable capability
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.240" (6.10mm)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insulation Color: Black
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Shrouding: Unshrouded

All identified substitute parts meet these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with applications designed for the 626249-2. Substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with RoHS and MSL 1 requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector options maintain Active product status and comply with RoHS requirements, ensuring regulatory compliance for current and future applications. The TE Connectivity 626249-2 and Molex 0022284023 both feature breakaway connector types, while the Harwin M20-9990245 offers a cuttable design alternative. All parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

The Molex 0022284023 provides the highest inventory availability at 19,417 pieces in stock, compared to 1,115 pieces for the TE Connectivity primary part and 2,048 pieces for the Harwin alternative. All substitute parts maintain identical mating pitch, position count, and contact geometry specifications, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability within applications designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch 2-position headers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022284023 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 626249-2?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (2), row configuration (1), contact type (Male Pin), mounting method (Through Hole), and contact finish specifications (Gold, 15.0µin). Both maintain Active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the breakaway and cuttable connector types?

A: The TE Connectivity 626249-2 and Molex 0022284023 feature breakaway designs, allowing individual positions to be separated by mechanical breaking. The Harwin M20-9990245 offers a cuttable design, permitting individual positions to be separated by cutting. Both design approaches achieve the same functional outcome for applications requiring position-specific configuration.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three connectors maintain identical mating contact length (0.240" / 6.10mm), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), and through-hole mounting specifications. PCB designs accommodating the TE Connectivity 626249-2 accept all listed substitute parts without modification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these connectors?

A: All three parts comply with RoHS requirements (TE Connectivity: RoHS Compliant; Molex and Harwin: ROHS3 Compliant). All parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: Does contact finish thickness affect substitution eligibility?

A: The TE Connectivity 626249-2 and Molex 0022284023 both specify 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold finish thickness on mating contacts. The Harwin M20-9990245 does not specify contact finish thickness for mating contacts. All three parts maintain gold mating contact finish, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: The Molex 0022284023 offers the highest stock availability at 19,417 pieces. The Harwin M20-9990245 maintains 2,048 pieces in inventory. The TE Connectivity 626249-2 has 1,115 pieces available. Inventory levels support component selection based on delivery timeline and supply chain requirements.
