TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 120528-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 120528-2 is an 84-position rectangular connector receptacle with outer shroud contacts designed for surface mount applications. This connector operates within the Free Height (FH) IEEE 1386 and PMC series standards, featuring gold-plated contacts and a mated stacking height range of 8mm to 10mm. The part is currently in active product status and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance at MSL Level 1. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to address packaging format requirements, compliance specifications, and inventory availability across different procurement channels.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 120528-2 rectangular connector is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 5120528-2 maintains identical specifications for connector position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting methodology, contact material composition, contact finish thickness, stacking height range, and board height. Both parts operate within the same Free Height (FH) IEEE 1386 and PMC series standards and share equivalent moisture sensitivity classification.

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute lies in packaging format and compliance status. The 120528-2 is supplied in bulk packaging with RoHS non-compliant status, while the 5120528-2 is supplied in cut tape packaging with ROHS3 compliance certification. This substitution relationship is valid when packaging format requirements and regulatory compliance specifications align with the substitute part's characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the 120528-2 and 5120528-2 is determined by specific project requirements regarding packaging format and regulatory compliance.

120528-2 Selection Criteria: This part is appropriate for applications where bulk packaging is operationally efficient and RoHS non-compliance does not conflict with project specifications or end-use market requirements. The part maintains active product status and full inventory availability.

5120528-2 Selection Criteria: This substitute part is required for applications subject to ROHS3 compliance mandates or where cut tape packaging format is specified for automated assembly processes. The substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while providing enhanced regulatory compliance certification. Inventory availability for the 5120528-2 exceeds that of the main part.

Both parts share identical functional performance characteristics, connector geometry, contact specifications, and series compliance. The selection decision is based exclusively on packaging format requirements and regulatory compliance obligations specific to the application or market jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 120528-2 and 5120528-2 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications for position count (84), pitch (0.039"/1.00mm), row configuration (2), mounting type (surface mount), contact finish (gold at 50.0µin/1.27µm thickness), stacking heights (8mm, 9mm, 10mm), and board height (0.211"/5.35mm). They operate within the same Free Height (FH) IEEE 1386 and PMC series standards.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The 120528-2 is supplied in bulk packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. The 5120528-2 is supplied in cut tape packaging and is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: When should I select the cut tape packaged 5120528-2 over the bulk packaged 120528-2?

A: Select the 5120528-2 when your application requires ROHS3 compliance certification or when cut tape packaging is specified for automated assembly line integration. Cut tape packaging is standard for high-volume surface mount production environments.

Q: When should I select the bulk packaged 120528-2?

A: Select the 120528-2 when bulk packaging meets your procurement and assembly requirements and RoHS compliance is not a project constraint. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production scenarios.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both the 120528-2 and 5120528-2 are classified at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are there any differences in export classification or tariff codes?

A: No. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: Which part has better inventory availability?

A: The 5120528-2 has higher inventory availability with 1604 pieces in stock compared to 919 pieces for the 120528-2.
