Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 533514-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type must be receptacle with female sockets
• Position count must equal 240 positions
• Mating pitch must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration must be 3 rows
• Mounting must be through-hole, right-angle orientation

Electrical Compatibility:

• Contact finish must be gold on mating surfaces
• Current rating must support minimum 3A
• Operating temperature range must encompass -65°C to 125°C
• Termination method must be solder

Compliance & Environmental:

• Material flammability rating must meet UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited)
• Product status must be Active

The substitute part 5533514-1 meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent for the 533514-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection - 533514-1: The 533514-1 is the original specification part with Active product status. This part is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or where legacy system compatibility is required. Current inventory of 791 pieces supports immediate deployment.

Equivalent Alternative - 5533514-1: The 5533514-1 provides functional and mechanical equivalence to the 533514-1 across all critical connector parameters. The primary distinction is RoHS3 compliance status. This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance or for new designs where environmental regulations mandate lead-free materials. Higher inventory availability (1397 pieces) supports extended production runs. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, temperature ratings, and mechanical interfaces.

Compliance Consideration: Selection between these parts should be determined by the application's RoHS compliance requirements. The 5533514-1 is the preferred choice for applications subject to RoHS3 regulations. The 533514-1 remains valid for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5533514-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 533514-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5533514-1 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the 533514-1. Both connectors share identical position counts (240), pitch spacing (0.100"), row configuration (3 rows), mounting orientation (right-angle through-hole), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The connectors are interchangeable from a functional standpoint.

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

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 533514-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5533514-1 is ROHS3 compliant. This distinction affects material composition and suitability for regulated applications. All other electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the 533514-1 and 5533514-1?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. No packaging format differences exist between these connectors.

Q: What current rating applies to both connectors?

A: The 533514-1 is rated for 3A per contact. The 5533514-1 does not specify a current rating in the provided data; however, mechanical and electrical equivalence suggests compatibility with the 3A specification of the main part.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications subject to RoHS3 regulations, the 5533514-1 is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is suitable based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C?

A: Yes. Both the 533514-1 and 5533514-1 are rated for continuous operation across the -65°C to 125°C temperature range.

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

A: Both connectors have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures.
