• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Connector Style: Futurebus or Futurebus+® (compatible backplane architectures)
• Termination Method: Solder or Press-Fit (both provide equivalent electrical connection)
• Contact Finish Thickness: Variations acceptable within gold plating specifications
• Color: Natural or Beige (cosmetic variation, no functional impact)
• Features: Spacer present in all candidates; Board Guide and Board Lock are additive features

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent: TE Connectivity 5223004-4

The 5223004-4 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 223004-4. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 5223004-4 carries active product status and is RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement. This part represents a direct form-fit-function replacement with no design modifications required.

Alternative Substitute: Amphenol ICC HM1F53FDP000H6LF

The HM1F53FDP000H6LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) meets all mandatory mechanical and electrical parameters. This connector utilizes press-fit termination rather than solder, which eliminates soldering process requirements during assembly. The Metral® series connector includes board guide features in addition to the spacer present in the original design. This part is RoHS Compliant and carries active product status. Press-fit termination may require different PCB pad design compared to solder termination.

Alternative Substitute: 3M MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR

The MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR from 3M MetPak™ MP2 series satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. This connector features solder termination matching the original design and includes board guide and board lock features. The part is RoHS Compliant with active product status. The contact finish thickness specification (3.00µin) differs from the original (30.0µin), and the connector color is beige rather than natural. A current rating of 1.5A is specified for this part.

Compliance Considerations:

All three substitute parts are RoHS Compliant, addressing environmental and regulatory requirements. The original 223004-4 is RoHS Non-Compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives, any of the three substitutes provides compliant alternatives. The 5223004-4 offers the most direct transition path due to identical manufacturer and specification alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5223004-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 223004-4?

A: Yes. The 5223004-4 is manufactured by the same company (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) and shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the 223004-4. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between solder and press-fit termination in the HM1F53FDP000H6LF?

A: Solder termination (used in 223004-4, 5223004-4, and MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR) requires thermal reflow or wave soldering during PCB assembly. Press-fit termination (used in HM1F53FDP000H6LF) uses mechanical insertion into plated through-holes without solder. Press-fit termination eliminates soldering process steps but requires PCB pad geometry designed for press-fit contacts.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: The 223004-4 packaging is not specified in the provided data. All three substitute parts are available in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Does the beige color of the MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR affect electrical performance compared to the natural color of the 223004-4?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic specification and does not affect electrical performance, impedance, or signal integrity. Both natural and beige connectors meet identical electrical requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference between the 223004-4 (30.0µin) and MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR (3.00µin)?

A: Both specifications represent gold plating thickness over base metal. The 30.0µin thickness in the original part provides greater gold plating depth. The 3.00µin thickness in the 3M part is within acceptable gold plating specifications for connector applications. Both provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical contact properties for the specified voltage and current ratings.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on assembly process capability and design requirements. For direct replacement in existing designs, the 5223004-4 is recommended due to identical specifications and same-manufacturer sourcing. For new designs where assembly process flexibility exists, the HM1F53FDP000H6LF (press-fit) or MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR (solder with board lock feature) provide active alternatives with enhanced features.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts (5223004-4, HM1F53FDP000H6LF, and MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR) are RoHS Compliant. The original 223004-4 is RoHS Non-Compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, any substitute part satisfies regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the current rating for each connector?

A: The 223004-4, 5223004-4, and HM1F53FDP000H6LF do not have specified current ratings in the provided data. The MP2-S120-51M1-C-LR is rated for 1.5A. Confirm current requirements with your application specifications and contact manufacturers for detailed electrical performance data if current ratings are critical to your design.
