TE Connectivity 532955-7 Rectangular Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 532955-7 is a 40-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 available in tube packaging with 1003 pieces in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector interface, allowing for component interchangeability in applications where specific compliance or availability requirements necessitate alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 532955-7 and the identified substitute 5-532955-7 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Interface Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (40)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post)
• Contact finish thickness (15.0µin mating, 50.0µin post)

Mechanical Interface Parameters:

• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Insulation color (Black)
• Insulation height (0.238" / 6.05mm)
• Contact length - post (0.115" / 2.92mm)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Features (Guide Pin Ears)

Product Classification:

• Series (AMPMODU Mod II)
• Style (Board to Board)
• Base product number (532955)
• Packaging (Tube)

Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct substitution capability in board-to-board connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 532955-7 and 5-532955-7 maintain complete electrical and mechanical interface equivalence for board-to-board rectangular connector applications. The parts are functionally interchangeable in all circuit design and PCB layout contexts.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The substitute part 5-532955-7 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the main part 532955-7 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and regulatory mandates applicable to the end product.

Both parts are classified as Active product status with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), indicating stable long-term availability and standard handling requirements. Inventory availability differs, with 5-532955-7 currently stocked at 1570 pieces compared to 1003 pieces for 532955-7.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 532955-7 and 5-532955-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including mounting type (through-hole right angle), insulation dimensions (0.238" height), contact post length (0.115"), and guide pin ear features. PCB footprints and mating interface dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Are 532955-7 and 5-532955-7 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical interface parameters: 40-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, gold-plated mating contacts (15.0µin thickness), and tin-plated posts (50.0µin thickness). Contact material (phosphor bronze) and fastening type (push-pull) are identical.

Q: What is the difference between 532955-7 and 5-532955-7?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 5-532955-7 is RoHS Compliant, while 532955-7 is RoHS non-compliant. All other electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are identical. Current inventory levels also differ.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: The 5-532955-7 is the appropriate selection for applications subject to RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulatory requirements. This part carries RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: Can I use 532955-7 in place of 5-532955-7?

A: Substitution is possible only if RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement for your application. All other functional and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both 532955-7 and 5-532955-7 are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the AMPMODU Mod II series.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and standard component handling.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish specifications?

A: No. Both parts feature identical contact finish specifications: gold plating on mating surfaces (15.0µin / 0.38µm thickness) and tin plating on solder posts (50.0µin / 1.27µm thickness).

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

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions and standard handling requirements without special precautions.
