Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence across mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the 1-532955-6 include:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (100)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting style (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post)
• Insulation material (PPS, Glass Filled)
• Series designation (AMPMODU Mod II)

The substitute part 6-532955-6 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, establishing direct functional equivalence. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging configuration and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-532955-6 and 6-532955-6 are functionally equivalent rectangular connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and packaging needs.

1-532955-6 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or required
• Existing inventory management for legacy systems
• REACH Affected designation compliance requirements

6-532955-6 Selection Criteria:

• New designs requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Applications subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements
• Higher inventory availability (966 pieces versus 687 pieces)
• Tube packaging for automated assembly processes

Both parts maintain identical connector geometry, contact specifications, and electrical performance characteristics. The substitute relationship is based on complete parameter equivalence within the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-532955-6 and 6-532955-6 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 100 positions, 0.100" pitch spacing, 2-row configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and insulation dimensions. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (tube for 6-532955-6) and regulatory compliance status. The 1-532955-6 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 6-532955-6 is ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the 6-532955-6 as a replacement for the 1-532955-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 6-532955-6 is a direct functional substitute. The ROHS3 compliance of the 6-532955-6 makes it suitable for new production runs and designs requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Do these connectors have different contact finishes?

A: No. Both parts feature identical contact finishes: gold-plated mating contacts (15.0µin thickness) and tin-plated posts (50.0µin thickness).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The 1-532955-6 has unspecified packaging, while the 6-532955-6 is supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and provides better protection during storage and handling.

Q: Are the insulation materials the same?

A: Yes. Both connectors use Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) glass-filled insulation material with identical insulation height of 0.238" (6.05mm).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in board-to-board applications?

A: Yes. Both are designed for board-to-board applications with identical through-hole right-angle mounting and push-pull fastening specifications.
