Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2227731-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: zSFP+ specification must be maintained to ensure physical and electrical compatibility with mating components and system architecture.

Connector Style: Cage, Ganged (1 x 6) configuration must remain unchanged to preserve the multi-port density and mechanical footprint requirements.

Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle orientation must be preserved to maintain PCB layout compatibility and spatial constraints.

Termination Method: Press-Fit termination technology must be consistent to ensure reliable solder-free connection and manufacturing process compatibility.

Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating must be maintained to satisfy regulatory requirements and environmental handling specifications.

The substitute part 2227732-1 meets all critical parameter requirements for direct substitution while offering the advantage of Active product status and improved inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2227732-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 2227731-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2227732-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 2227731-1 across all critical parameters: connector type, style, mounting orientation, and termination method. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 2227731-1 and 2227732-1?

A: The 2227731-1 is classified as Obsolete, while the 2227732-1 maintains Active product status. The 2227732-1 is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts are functionally identical in electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 2227731-1 and 2227732-1 maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. No compliance modifications are introduced through substitution.

Q: What does the Press-Fit termination method mean for assembly compatibility?

A: Press-Fit termination eliminates the requirement for solder connections. The connector contacts are inserted directly into plated through-holes on the PCB using mechanical pressure. This method is compatible with automated assembly equipment and provides reliable solder-free interconnection.

Q: Does the Right Angle mounting orientation affect PCB layout?

A: Yes. Right Angle mounting positions the connector perpendicular to the PCB surface, suitable for edge-mounted or perpendicular-to-board applications. The 2227732-1 maintains identical Right Angle orientation, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the 2227731-1.

Q: What is the significance of the Ganged (1 x 6) cage configuration?

A: The Ganged (1 x 6) configuration provides six zSFP+ connector positions in a single mechanical assembly. This high-density arrangement supports multi-port applications requiring compact interconnect solutions. Both the 2227731-1 and 2227732-1 maintain this identical configuration.

Q: Is the Light Pipe feature present in the 2227732-1?

A: The 2227731-1 includes Light Pipe functionality. The 2227732-1 specification lists EMI Shielding as a feature. Verify specific application requirements for Light Pipe functionality if this feature is critical to system design.
