• Voltage rating of 500Vrms
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• 154-position configuration (110 + 44 Ground)
• 2.00mm pitch spacing
• 5 + 2 row arrangement
• Through-hole mounting
• Press-fit termination
• Male pin connector type
• Alignment strip feature

Application Parameters:

• CompactPCI P2/P5 connector usage
• Z-PACK series compatibility
• Gold contact finish with 30.0µin thickness

The substitute part 5352712-1 satisfies all these requirements while offering the advantage of active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5352712-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 352712-1 connector. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional equivalence in CompactPCI P2/P5 backplane applications.

Compliance Advantages:

The substitute part 5352712-1 offers improved regulatory compliance compared to the main part. The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS directives and for long-term supply chain sustainability.

Product Status:

The main part 352712-1 carries an obsolete designation, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The substitute part 5352712-1 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and supply chain reliability.

Packaging Consideration:

The substitute part is supplied in tube packaging, which may differ from the original packaging format. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance and are relevant only for handling, storage, and logistics procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5352712-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 352712-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5352712-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 352712-1. All connector parameters, including position count, pitch, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and termination method are identical. The connector is suitable for direct substitution in CompactPCI P2/P5 backplane applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between the two parts?

A: The 352712-1 is classified as obsolete, indicating that TE Connectivity has discontinued manufacturing. The 5352712-1 maintains active product status, meaning it is currently manufactured and available through authorized distribution channels. For new designs and ongoing production, the active part ensures supply continuity.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental designation that does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. The 5352712-1 achieves RoHS compliance, which is advantageous for applications subject to RoHS directives and for compliance with environmental regulations. The original part is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there any differences in the connector's electrical performance between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 1.5 A current rating, 500Vrms voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The gold contact finish and contact finish thickness are also identical at 30.0µin (0.76µm).

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The main part 352712-1 packaging is not specified in the available data. The substitute part 5352712-1 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance and is relevant only for receiving, storage, and handling procedures.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the 352712-1 and 5352712-1 are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the Z-PACK series. They share identical connector style (B 22) and application designation (CompactPCI P2/P5).

Q: Can the 352712-1 still be sourced if the 5352712-1 is not available?

A: The 352712-1 is obsolete and has limited availability. Current inventory levels may exist through authorized distributors, but long-term availability is not assured. For new applications and ongoing production requirements, the active substitute part 5352712-1 is the recommended choice.
