Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 534204-9 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Contact type (Female Socket), contact finish at mating surface (Gold), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and contact shape (Square) establish the electrical interface requirements.

Mechanical Parameters: Number of positions (20), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting orientation (Through Hole, Right Angle), and termination method (Kinked Pin, Solder) define the physical compatibility with printed circuit boards.

Connector Architecture: Receptacle connector type, push-pull fastening mechanism, and AMPMODU Mod II series designation ensure compatibility with corresponding plug connectors and assembly requirements.

The substitute part 5-534204-9 maintains identical values across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, confirming direct interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

534204-9 (Main Part): The 534204-9 maintains active product status with RoHS non-compliant classification and REACH Affected designation. This part is suitable for applications where legacy compliance requirements or specific tin-lead post finish specifications are required. Current inventory of 687 pieces supports immediate availability for production requirements.

5-534204-9 (Substitute Part): The 5-534204-9 provides an alternative with ROHS3 Compliant status, addressing modern regulatory requirements for new designs and applications subject to RoHS 3 directives. The contact finish post specification changes from Tin-Lead to Tin, reflecting updated manufacturing standards. This part carries higher inventory availability at 1549 pieces. The REACH status designation as Vendor Undefined requires clarification through the manufacturer for applications with specific REACH compliance requirements.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring direct interchangeability in circuit board layouts and connector mating applications. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory compliance requirements and post finish specifications applicable to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-534204-9 be used as a direct replacement for the 534204-9 in existing designs?

A: The 5-534204-9 provides direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability with the 534204-9. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and mating contact finish are identical. The primary differences are post finish composition (Tin versus Tin-Lead) and RoHS compliance status. Compatibility depends on whether the design specifications permit these variations.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences between these parts?

A: The 534204-9 features Tin-Lead post finish (50.0µin / 1.27µm thickness), while the 5-534204-9 uses Tin post finish with identical thickness. Both maintain the same gold mating contact finish (30.0µin / 0.76µm). The post finish affects solderability characteristics and long-term reliability in specific environmental conditions. Design specifications should confirm acceptable post finish materials.

Q: Are these connectors compatible with standard 0.1" pitch connector systems?

A: Both the 534204-9 and 5-534204-9 are designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch mating and row spacing, conforming to standard rectangular connector spacing conventions. These connectors are compatible with AMPMODU Mod II series plug connectors and other components designed for 0.1" pitch board-to-board applications.

Q: What mounting considerations apply to these right-angle receptacle connectors?

A: Both parts utilize through-hole right-angle mounting with kinked pin solder termination. The connectors mount perpendicular to the printed circuit board surface, with pins inserted through plated holes for solder connection. The 0.238" (6.05mm) insulation height and 0.115" (2.92mm) contact post length establish the physical envelope for board layout and component spacing calculations.

Q: How do the RoHS compliance differences affect part selection?

A: The 534204-9 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5-534204-9 is ROHS3 Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS 3 directives or customer requirements for compliant components should specify the 5-534204-9. Legacy systems or applications without RoHS requirements may utilize either part. Regulatory requirements for the end application determine the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the significance of the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly. These connectors do not require special moisture control measures or baking procedures prior to soldering, simplifying inventory management and production processes.
