TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 533060-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 533060-4 is a 50-position backplane connector header designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This high-density interconnect (HDI) connector features male pins with press-fit termination and gold-plated contacts. The part is currently active in production with 1006 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative connector specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 533060-4 is determined by the following critical parameters that must align across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 50
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Termination method (Press-Fit vs. Solder)
• Operating temperature range (within application requirements)
• Contact finish thickness
• Packaging format (Tube vs. Tray)
• RoHS compliance status
• Manufacturer source

The Hirose Electric Co Ltd PCN10-50P-2.54DSA(72) satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct substitute for the TE Connectivity 533060-4.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 533060-4 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring press-fit termination assembly
• Operating environments with extended temperature range (-65°C to 125°C)
• Designs where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable
• Higher contact finish thickness specification (30.0µin)

Hirose PCN10-50P-2.54DSA(72) Selection Criteria:

• Applications utilizing solder termination assembly
• Operating environments within -55°C to 85°C range
• Designs requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Applications with 2A current rating requirement
• Higher inventory availability (1991 units in stock)

Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications (50 positions, 2.54mm pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity). Selection between these parts depends on termination method compatibility with PCB assembly processes and regulatory compliance requirements specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Hirose PCN10-50P-2.54DSA(72) directly replace the TE Connectivity 533060-4 in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is possible when the PCB assembly process supports solder termination instead of press-fit termination. The connector footprint, pin count, pitch, and row configuration are identical. Verify that the PCB design accommodates solder termination pads rather than press-fit holes.

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

A: The primary difference is termination method. The TE Connectivity 533060-4 uses press-fit termination, while the Hirose PCN10-50P-2.54DSA(72) uses solder termination. This affects assembly process compatibility and PCB pad design.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting the Hirose part?

A: Yes. The Hirose PCN10-50P-2.54DSA(72) operates from -55°C to 85°C, which is narrower than the TE Connectivity part (-65°C to 125°C). Applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 85°C must use the TE Connectivity 533060-4.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness difference affect performance?

A: Contact finish thickness is specified for both parts and meets their respective design standards. The TE Connectivity part specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) while the Hirose part specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm). Both thicknesses provide adequate gold plating for connector durability and electrical performance within their rated specifications.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status?

A: The TE Connectivity 533060-4 is RoHS non-compliant, while the Hirose PCN10-50P-2.54DSA(72) is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements must use the Hirose part. Applications without RoHS requirements can use either part.

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable for inventory management?

A: Packaging format (Tube vs. Tray) affects storage, handling, and automated assembly compatibility but does not affect connector performance. Verify that receiving and assembly processes support the packaging format of the selected substitute part.

Q: What current rating should be considered for circuit design?

A: The Hirose PCN10-50P-2.54DSA(72) specifies a 2A current rating per position. The TE Connectivity 533060-4 does not specify a current rating in the provided data. Circuit designs must verify current requirements against the Hirose specification or contact TE Connectivity for the 533060-4 current rating.
