Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 5-223955-2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female blade sockets
• Connector style: Blade power configuration
• Number of positions: 3-position
• Mounting method: Through-hole PCB mounting
• Termination method: Press-fit contact attachment
• Contact layout: 3 power positions
• Physical form factor: Gray housing color
• Material compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life)

The substitute part 5-5223955-2 meets all primary substitution criteria. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the UPM series and share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for backplane power connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The substitute part 5-5223955-2 is functionally equivalent to the main part 5-223955-2 for backplane power connector applications. Both parts are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical mechanical interfaces, contact configurations, and mounting specifications.

Compliance Considerations:

The substitute part 5-5223955-2 offers enhanced regulatory compliance status. It is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, compared to the main part which is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. For applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH regulatory requirements, the substitute part 5-5223955-2 is the appropriate selection.

Contact Finish Specification:

The substitute part 5-5223955-2 specifies contact finish as gold or gold-palladium, providing flexibility in manufacturing. The main part specifies gold contact finish with 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness. Both finishes are compatible with standard backplane power connector applications.

Electrical Performance:

The substitute part 5-5223955-2 provides specified electrical ratings: 250V voltage rating and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. These specifications support standard industrial backplane power distribution applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the substitute part 5-5223955-2 be used as a direct replacement for 5-223955-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are 3-position receptacle connectors with female blade sockets, identical mounting types (through-hole), identical termination methods (press-fit), and identical contact layouts (3 power). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible for backplane power connector applications.

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

A: The main difference is regulatory compliance status. The substitute part 5-5223955-2 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the main part 5-223955-2 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. The substitute part also provides specified electrical ratings (250V, -55°C to 125°C) and contact finish options (gold or gold-palladium).

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for backplane connector distribution.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Both gold and gold-palladium contact finishes are compatible with standard backplane power connector mating interfaces. The contact finish selection does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs subject to RoHS3 or REACH compliance requirements, the substitute part 5-5223955-2 is the appropriate selection. For applications without these regulatory requirements, either part is functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any differences in the number of rows between these parts?

A: The substitute part 5-5223955-2 specifies 1 row configuration. The main part does not specify row count. Both parts maintain identical 3-position contact layouts suitable for backplane power applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity restrictions.
