Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitutability for the TE Connectivity 826950-2:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type classification (Header, Breakaway)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (2)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Shrouding status (Unshrouded)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited)

The Molex 0022288020 connector satisfies all critical matching parameters, establishing it as a valid substitute part. Both connectors are classified as rectangular connector headers with identical positioning, pitch, mounting orientation, and termination characteristics. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming compatibility for direct substitution in applications where the primary part is unavailable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 826950-2 and Molex 0022288020 maintain active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the Molex substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, both satisfying regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance. Both parts are classified under identical HTSUS code 8536.69.4040 and ECCN EAR99, confirming equivalent trade classification and export control status.

The Molex 0022288020 offers higher current inventory availability at 4808 pieces compared to 920 pieces for the TE Connectivity 826950-2, providing enhanced supply chain flexibility. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the critical parameters governing substitutability: 2-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening.

Selection between these parts is determined by supply availability, manufacturer preference, and inventory requirements rather than functional or compliance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022288020 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 826950-2?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch spacing, mounting orientation, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. Direct substitution is supported for applications where the primary part is unavailable.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and insulation material composition. The TE Connectivity 826950-2 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation with green color, while the Molex 0022288020 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon with glass filling and black color. Contact length specifications also differ slightly: TE Connectivity mating contact length is 0.228" (5.80mm) versus Molex 0.244" (6.20mm). These differences do not affect substitutability for standard board-to-board or cable interconnection applications.

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

A: The TE Connectivity 826950-2 specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The Molex 0022288020 does not provide an explicit operating temperature specification in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance across the full -65°C to 105°C range, the TE Connectivity part provides documented specification. For general-purpose applications within standard industrial temperature ranges, both parts are suitable.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 826950-2 is rated for 5A continuous current. The Molex 0022288020 does not provide an explicit current rating specification in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed 5A current capacity, the TE Connectivity part provides documented specification.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both connectors carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or assembly. Standard component storage practices are sufficient for both parts.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 826950-2 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The Molex 0022288020 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both satisfy regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance in their respective compliance frameworks.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, establishing compatibility with standard 2.54mm connector ecosystems and breakaway header applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in automotive applications?

A: The Molex 0022288020 is explicitly listed for automotive applications. The TE Connectivity 826950-2 does not specify automotive applications in the available data. For confirmed automotive qualification, the Molex part provides documented application support.
