TE Connectivity 406552-1 Modular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 406552-1 is an 8p8c (RJ45/Ethernet) modular jack connector with 90° right-angle orientation, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shielded connector features an EMI finger, board guide, and integrated LED indicators (Yellow-Green). The part is currently active in production with 2340 units in stock inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are maintained across connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination style, and shielding characteristics. Alternative part numbers may be required due to packaging format changes, inventory availability, or specific compliance certifications needed for particular applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 406552-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Shielding type: Shielded with EMI finger
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Gold plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Connector type: Jack
• Mounting method: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Tab direction: Up
• Number of ports: 4
• Number of rows: 1

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product status: Active

The substitute part 5406552-1 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing in packaging format (Tray versus standard packaging) and providing additional operating temperature specification (-40°C ~ 85°C) and Cat5 rating certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (406552-1): The TE Connectivity 406552-1 is suitable for applications requiring standard packaging formats. This part maintains active product status with RoHS compliance certification and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making it appropriate for standard manufacturing and assembly environments.

Substitute Part Selection (5406552-1): The 5406552-1 serves as a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This substitute provides additional value through:

• ROHS3 compliance certification (enhanced regulatory coverage)
• Explicit operating temperature range specification (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Cat5 rating certification for Ethernet applications
• Tray packaging format for bulk handling
• Higher inventory availability (4764 units versus 2340 units)

Selection between these parts depends on packaging requirements, compliance certifications needed for specific markets, and inventory availability. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical form, fit, and function for 8p8c modular jack connector applications with through-hole solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5406552-1 be used as a direct replacement for 406552-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5406552-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design with EMI finger, phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, and thermoplastic housing. The parts are functionally interchangeable at the circuit board level.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The 406552-1 uses standard packaging, while the 5406552-1 is supplied in Tray packaging. Tray packaging is designed for automated assembly line handling and bulk component management. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and inventory management systems.

Q: Does the substitute part support the same Ethernet standards?

A: The 5406552-1 includes Cat5 rating certification, explicitly confirming Ethernet compatibility. The 406552-1 does not specify a category rating in the provided documentation. Both parts feature 8p8c (RJ45) contact configuration suitable for Ethernet applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 406552-1 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 5406552-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents an enhanced regulatory standard. Both parts are RoHS-compliant and suitable for regulated markets. The 5406552-1 provides broader compliance coverage for applications requiring ROHS3 certification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the 406552-1?

A: The operating temperature range is not specified in the provided documentation for the 406552-1. The substitute part 5406552-1 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C. For applications requiring explicit temperature specifications, the 5406552-1 provides this information.

Q: Are both parts available in current inventory?

A: Yes. The 406552-1 has 2340 units in stock, and the 5406552-1 has 4764 units in stock. Both parts are listed as active products with new original inventory available.

Q: What contact material and finish specifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness. This specification ensures consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across both part numbers.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-EMI environments?

A: Yes. Both parts feature shielded design with EMI finger, which provides electromagnetic interference protection. The shielding is integrated into the connector housing and termination design for through-hole solder applications.
