Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2-353515-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Plug with outer shroud contacts
• Electrical Specifications: 20 positions, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement
• Physical Dimensions: 1.5mm mated stacking height, 0.043" (1.08mm) height above board
• Contact Properties: Gold finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness with solder retention
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount application
• Environmental Rating: MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level)

The substitute part 2-5353515-0 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all parameters listed above. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to packaging format and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2-353515-0 and 2-5353515-0 are classified as obsolete products within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Fine Stack series. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 2-5353515-0 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the main part 2-353515-0 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements must utilize the 2-5353515-0 variant.

Packaging Format: The main part 2-353515-0 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute 2-5353515-0 is provided in Cut Tape (CT) format. Packaging selection depends on assembly line requirements and component handling procedures.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part 2-5353515-0 maintains significantly higher inventory levels (13,973 pieces) compared to the main part (814 pieces), providing greater availability for procurement and production scheduling.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical specifications across all connector parameters, including position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and dimensional characteristics. Direct functional substitution is supported without circuit or layout modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-353515-0 and 2-5353515-0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 20-position configuration, 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch, gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, and solder retention features. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are packaging format (bulk versus Cut Tape), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), and current inventory levels. All connector specifications remain identical.

Q: Can I use the 2-5353515-0 in place of the 2-353515-0 on existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 2-5353515-0 maintains identical physical dimensions, mounting type, and mated stacking heights. No PCB layout or footprint modifications are necessary.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements and packaging preferences. For RoHS3-compliant applications, the 2-5353515-0 is required. For bulk packaging requirements, the 2-353515-0 is available. Both parts are obsolete; long-term availability should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Q: What does the Cut Tape (CT) packaging format mean?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape that has been cut into specific lengths for handling and assembly. This format is commonly used for automated pick-and-place assembly operations.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 1.5mm mated stacking heights, 0.043" (1.08mm) height above board, 2-row configuration, and surface mount mounting type. Mechanical compatibility is fully maintained.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both parts carry this rating, providing equivalent environmental handling requirements.
