The breakaway feature (part of the 42377 series) allows snapping to shorter lengths if needed, though this unit ships as a 20-position stick. ## Contact Interface and Durability In a test or programming fixture where the connector is cycled weekly, the gold layer resists oxidation and maintains contact resistance below the tin-plating threshold. The post finish is tin, 100.0 µinch (2.54 µm) — standard for solder-joint reliability. The square male pin (0.025\" square typical for the series) mates with KK254 crimp or IDC receptacles. ## Compliance and Application Range UL94 V-0 glass-filled nylon housing — rated for flammability in equipment enclosures. The connector is listed for Automotive, General Purpose, Medical, and Telecommunications applications, covering both board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnects.","metaTitle":"Molex 0022288202 KK254 Header, 20 Pos, 2.54mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Molex 0022288202 KK254/42377 series header, 20 circuits, 0.100\" pitch, unshrouded, gold-plated contacts, through-hole right-angle.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Molex","Style":"Board to Board or Cable","Series":"KK254, 42377","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Unshrouded","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"Automotive, General Purpose, Medical, Telecommunications","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header, Breakaway","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"-","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.098\\\" (2.50mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"002228","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"20","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.120\\\" (3.05mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold","Contact Length - Mating":"0.244\\\" (6.20mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"100.0µin (2.54µm)","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"15.0µin (0.38µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.5100","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/66d4b95d59a6bbdd7bec02ed82a7d949.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/0022288202/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch of Molex 0022288202?","answer":"The mating pitch is 0.100\" (2.54 mm), standard for the KK254 series and compatible with 0.100-inch grid PCBs."},{"question":"Is 0022288202 shrouded or unshrouded?","answer":"Unshrouded — the header has no plastic shroud around the pins, so the mating receptacle provides the mechanical retention."},{"question":"Does 0022288202 have a breakaway feature?","answer":"Yes, it is a breakaway header from the 42377 series.
