Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 223000-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style: Futurebus
• Number of positions: 120
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Voltage rating: 30V
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact finish: Gold

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Header, Male Pins
• Number of rows: 5
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Color: Natural
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Series Compatibility:

• Z-PACK series designation

The substitute part 5223002-4 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 223000-4 across all specified parameters. The primary differences between these parts relate to product status, termination method, and compliance certifications rather than functional electrical or mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The TE Connectivity 5223002-4 serves as the direct active substitute for the obsolete 223000-4. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector style, position count, pitch, voltage rating, and operating temperature range.

Termination Method Consideration:

The primary functional difference between these parts is the termination method. The original 223000-4 uses solder termination, while the 5223002-4 employs press-fit termination. Selection between these termination methods depends on PCB design and assembly process requirements. Both termination approaches are compatible with through-hole mounting on PCBs designed for Futurebus 120-position headers.

Compliance Status:

The 5223002-4 holds active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 223000-4 is obsolete with not applicable RoHS status. For new designs and long-term system support, the 5223002-4 is the appropriate selection.

Packaging:

The 5223002-4 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas packaging information for the 223000-4 is not specified. This difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5223002-4 directly replace the 223000-4 in existing PCB designs?

A: The 5223002-4 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 223000-4 across all specified parameters. However, the termination method differs: the original uses solder termination while the substitute uses press-fit termination. PCB design must accommodate the specific termination method selected. Existing solder-designed PCBs require design modification to support press-fit termination.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching of connector style (Futurebus), position count (120), pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), voltage rating (30V), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Both parts meet these specifications identically.

Q: Why is the 223000-4 listed as obsolete?

A: The 223000-4 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 5223002-4 represents the current active product offering from TE Connectivity for this connector configuration.

Q: Does the press-fit termination of the 5223002-4 affect reliability compared to solder termination?

A: Both termination methods are valid for through-hole PCB mounting. The selection depends on assembly process capabilities and design requirements. No reliability difference is specified in the provided parameters.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 5223002-4 is ROHS3 compliant with active product status. The 223000-4 has not applicable RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 5223002-4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: The 223000-4 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness. This specification is not provided for the 5223002-4 in the available data.

Q: Can both parts be used interchangeably in the same assembly?

A: Interchangeability depends on PCB design and assembly process. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for Futurebus 120-position header applications. The termination method difference requires PCB design consideration.
