TE Connectivity 532955-6 Rectangular Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 532955-6 is a 36-position receptacle connector from the AMPMODU Mod II series, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole, right-angle mounted connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts for solder termination. The connector is classified as Active product status and is currently in stock with 1089 units available. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate varying compliance requirements across manufacturing environments.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 532955-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (36), mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.100"), mounting orientation (through hole, right angle), contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post), termination method (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The substitute part 5-532955-6 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, establishing it as a direct equivalent within the AMPMODU Mod II series. Substitution is valid when these parameters remain unchanged between the main part and candidate substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 532955-6 and 5-532955-6 are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all functional parameters. Both connectors maintain identical specifications for position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact materials, and termination methods. The primary distinction between these parts lies in compliance certification status. The 532955-6 is designated as RoHS non-compliant with REACH Affected status, while the 5-532955-6 is RoHS Compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status. Selection between these parts should be based on the regulatory requirements of the target application and manufacturing jurisdiction. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 5-532955-6 is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is functionally suitable. Both parts are Active status products with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 532955-6 and 5-532955-6 interchangeable in PCB design?

A: Yes. Both connectors are mechanically and electrically identical. They share the same 36-position configuration, 0.100" pitch spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, and contact specifications. PCB footprints and assembly procedures are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. The 532955-6 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5-532955-6 is RoHS Compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. If RoHS compliance is mandated for your application or market, specify 5-532955-6. If RoHS compliance is not required, either part is functionally suitable.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance, mechanical durability, and environmental specifications. Contact finish, material composition, and operating characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Can I substitute 5-532955-6 for 532955-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-532955-6 is a direct substitute with identical form, fit, and function. No design modifications are required.

Q: What does the "5-" prefix in 5-532955-6 indicate?

A: The "5-" prefix is a TE Connectivity part numbering convention. It does not indicate a functional or performance difference; it reflects internal product classification and compliance designation.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both the 532955-6 and 5-532955-6 are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
