Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5-223961-1 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector Type and Style: Header with male blades and blade power configuration
• Position Count: 3-position connector with all positions loaded
• Mounting Configuration: Board edge mounting with through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination Method: Press-fit termination technology
• Electrical Ratings: 250V voltage rating and UL94 V-0 flammability classification
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and MSL 1 rating
• Contact Material: Gold or Gold-Palladium finish
• Series Compatibility: UPM (Universal Power Modules) series designation

The substitute part 5-5223961-1 meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent for the 5-223961-1.
