TE Connectivity 534206-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 534206-7 is a 14-position receptacle connector from the AMPMODU Mod II series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole mounted connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-lead plated posts, rated for 2A continuous current and operating temperatures from -65°C to 125°C. The connector is currently active in production with 760 pieces in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative compliance certifications are required, or when design specifications allow for functionally compatible alternatives from different manufacturers that meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Number of positions (14)
Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Number of rows (2)
Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting type (Through Hole)
Termination method (Solder)
Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
Contact shape (Square)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

Contact finish material (Gold or Tin acceptable for equivalent function)
Operating temperature range (must encompass or match -65°C to 125°C)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Highest Compatibility):

The TE Connectivity 5-534206-7 is the direct equivalent to the 534206-7. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 14-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, and 2A current rating. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: the 5-534206-7 is RoHS Compliant while the 534206-7 is Not Applicable. The 5-534206-7 features UL94 V-0 flammability rating and tin-plated posts compared to tin-lead plating on the original part. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance or when the original part is unavailable.

Functional Alternatives (Receptacle Type):

The Molex 0901512114, Harwin M20-7830746, Samtec SSQ-107-01-F-D, Samtec SSQ-107-01-L-D, Samtec SSQ-107-01-SM-D, Samtec SSW-107-01-F-D, and Samtec SSW-107-01-F-D-LL are functionally compatible receptacle connectors meeting the core 14-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination requirements. These alternatives are suitable when the original TE Connectivity part is unavailable and the application permits substitution of different manufacturer series. All listed alternatives are ROHS3 Compliant and Active in production status.

The Molex 0901512114 and Harwin M20-7830746 feature tin-plated mating contacts and higher current ratings (3A), making them suitable for applications with increased current demands. The Samtec SSW series offers the highest current rating at 4.7A per contact.

Header Alternatives (Different Connector Style):

The Sullins PPPC072LFBN-RC (gold-plated) and PPTC072LFBN-RC (tin-plated) are header connectors rather than receptacles. These parts maintain the 14-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and 3A current rating. Header connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible with receptacle connectors in mating applications. Both Sullins parts are ROHS3 Compliant and Active in production.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts listed are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant, with the exception of the original 534206-7 which carries Not Applicable status. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should utilize the 5-534206-7 direct equivalent or any of the alternative parts listed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-534206-7 be used as a direct replacement for the 534206-7?

A: Yes. The 5-534206-7 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts feature 14 positions, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and 2A current rating. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and contact post plating material (tin versus tin-lead). The 5-534206-7 is suitable for direct substitution in all applications where the original part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between receptacle and header connectors in this product category?

A: Receptacle connectors feature female socket contacts and are typically mounted on one board to accept male pins from a mating connector. Header connectors feature male pins and are mounted on the opposite board. In board-to-board applications, a receptacle connector on one board mates with a header connector on the other board. The Sullins PPPC072LFBN-RC and PPTC072LFBN-RC are header connectors, while the TE Connectivity 534206-7 and most alternatives listed are receptacle connectors.

Q: Are the Samtec SSQ and SSW series connectors compatible with the TE Connectivity 534206-7?

A: The Samtec SSQ-107 and SSW-107 series connectors are functionally compatible with the 534206-7 in applications requiring 14-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination. All Samtec alternatives maintain the same pitch spacing, number of positions, and mounting type. The Samtec parts feature forked contact types and Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material, differing from the square contact design and polyester insulation of the original part. These alternatives are suitable when the original part is unavailable and the application permits substitution of different contact geometry.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between the 534206-7 and substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 534206-7 operates from -65°C to 125°C. The Molex 0901512114 and Harwin M20-7830746 operate from -55°C to 105°C and -40°C to 105°C respectively, representing narrower temperature ranges. The Samtec SSQ and SSW series operate from -55°C to 125°C, matching the upper temperature limit of the original part. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 125°C range, the 5-534206-7 direct equivalent or Samtec alternatives are appropriate selections.

Q: Can I substitute a tin-plated connector for the gold-plated 534206-7?

A: Tin-plated alternatives such as the Molex 0901512114, Harwin M20-7830746, and Sullins PPTC072LFBN-RC are functionally compatible with the gold-plated 534206-7 in most applications. Contact finish selection depends on application requirements including corrosion resistance, contact resistance, and environmental exposure. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, while tin plating is suitable for general-purpose applications in controlled environments. Substitution of tin-plated connectors for gold-plated connectors is permissible when application specifications do not mandate gold plating.

Q: What current rating should I consider when selecting a substitute connector?

A: The TE Connectivity 534206-7 is rated for 2A continuous current. Substitute connectors with equal or higher current ratings are suitable for direct substitution. The Molex 0901512114, Harwin M20-7830746, Sullins PPPC072LFBN-RC, and Sullins PPTC072LFBN-RC all feature 3A ratings, exceeding the original specification. The Samtec SSW-107-01-F-D and SSW-107-01-F-D-LL feature 4.7A per contact ratings. Selection of higher-rated connectors does not compromise compatibility and provides additional current capacity margin for applications with potential current increases.

Q: Are all listed substitute parts currently in production?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference are marked as Active in production status. Inventory availability varies by part number and distributor. The 5-534206-7 direct equivalent has the highest inventory level at 9,621 pieces, while Samtec alternatives range from 813 to 1,437 pieces in stock.
