Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 223955-2 connector is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for connector type, number of positions, blade socket configuration, mounting methodology, termination approach, contact material composition, operating temperature range, and voltage rating. These parameters ensure mechanical fit, electrical performance, and thermal reliability within the backplane power distribution system.

The primary substitute identified is the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5223955-2, which maintains complete parameter alignment with the original 223955-2 across all specified dimensions. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the UPM series and share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5223955-2 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 223955-2 connector. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in backplane power applications. The 5223955-2 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the 223955-2 is obsolete.

A significant distinction exists in regulatory compliance status. The 5223955-2 achieves ROHS3 compliance and carries REACH Unaffected designation, whereas the 223955-2 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. For applications subject to environmental regulations or procurement policies requiring RoHS compliance, the 5223955-2 is the appropriate selection. Both connectors share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

The 5223955-2 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas packaging information for the 223955-2 is not specified. Selection between these parts should be based on product lifecycle requirements, regulatory compliance mandates, and packaging specifications for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5223955-2 directly replace the 223955-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5223955-2 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence with the 223955-2.
