M22-2012505 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M22-2012505 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Harwin Inc., designed for through-hole board-to-board applications with 25 positions at 2.00mm pitch. This connector features a cuttable design, allowing customization for specific pin count requirements. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting the same performance and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M22-2015005 qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Matching parameters: Series (M22), connector type (header, cuttable), contact type (male pin), pitch (2.00mm), mounting type (through hole), termination (solder), contact material (phosphor bronze), insulation material (polyamide PA6T), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per contact), material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), RoHS compliance (ROHS3), and MSL rating (1).

Differing parameter: The M22-2015005 provides 50 positions versus 25 positions in the M22-2012505. This difference is acceptable for substitution because both connectors share the same cuttable header design, allowing the 50-position variant to be mechanically and electrically configured to match the 25-position requirement through selective pin utilization or physical modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M22-2015005 is the designated substitute for the obsolete M22-2012505. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including pitch, contact material, current rating, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. The M22-2015005 carries active product status with current manufacturing support, whereas the M22-2012505 is obsolete. The 50-position configuration of the M22-2015005 accommodates applications requiring the 25-position specification through the cuttable header design inherent to both connectors. All regulatory compliance requirements, including ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, are maintained in the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M22-2015005 directly replace the M22-2012505 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.00mm), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and electrical ratings (1A per contact). The M22-2015005 provides 50 positions versus 25 in the original part. The cuttable header design allows the 50-position connector to be configured for 25-position applications.

Q: What is the significance of the cuttable header design?

A: The cuttable header design permits mechanical separation of the connector into smaller segments. This allows a 50-position header to be cut or configured to match the 25-position requirement without affecting electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both the M22-2012505 and M22-2015005 meet ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) specifications.

Q: Why is the M22-2012505 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the M22-2012505 is no longer in active production. The M22-2015005 serves as the active alternative within the same M22 series, providing equivalent functionality with ongoing manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and maintain the same current rating (1A per contact) and contact material composition (phosphor bronze).
