TE Connectivity 534267-1 Rectangular Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 534267-1 is a 14-position receptacle connector from the AMPMODU Mod IV series, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole solder-terminated connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-lead plated posts, housed in a black polyester glass-filled insulation body. The connector utilizes a push-pull fastening mechanism and accommodates female socket contacts in a 2-row configuration.

The 534267-1 maintains active product status within TE Connectivity's connector portfolio. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when addressing specific compliance requirements, inventory availability, or contact finish specifications that may vary between manufacturing revisions or regional variants.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the 534267-1 and 5-534267-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Bottom or Top Entry)
• Number of positions (14)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating and row spacing)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Insulation material and color (Polyester, Glass Filled; Black)
• Insulation height (0.265" / 6.73mm)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact finish at mating surface (Gold, 30.0µin / 0.76µm thickness)
• Contact length at post (0.125" / 3.18mm)
• Contact finish thickness at post (150.0µin / 3.81µm)

Functional Equivalence: Both parts function identically within the AMPMODU Mod IV series as 14-position board-to-board receptacle connectors. The primary distinction between these parts relates to post contact finish specification and regulatory compliance status, not to mechanical or electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

534267-1 Selection Criteria: The 534267-1 is appropriate for applications where tin-lead post plating is acceptable and RoHS compliance is not a requirement. This part maintains active product status and is suitable for legacy system designs or applications operating under non-RoHS regulatory frameworks. The REACH Affected designation indicates this part contains substances of concern under REACH regulations.

5-534267-1 Selection Criteria: The 5-534267-1 is the preferred selection for new designs and applications requiring RoHS compliance. This variant substitutes tin plating for the tin-lead post finish while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical performance across all other parameters. The RoHS Compliant status aligns this part with current environmental and regulatory standards. The Vendor Undefined REACH status requires clarification from TE Connectivity for applications subject to REACH restrictions.

Substitution Feasibility: Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the AMPMODU Mod IV series. The 5-534267-1 represents a manufacturing revision that addresses lead content restrictions. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory compliance requirements and post contact finish specifications rather than functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 534267-1 and 5-534267-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 14-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, 2-row layout, through-hole mounting, and push-pull fastening. Physical dimensions, insulation material, and contact geometry are identical.

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

A: The primary functional difference is the post contact finish. The 534267-1 uses tin-lead plating (150.0µin thickness), while the 5-534267-1 uses tin plating (150.0µin thickness). Both finishes provide equivalent solder joint performance at the specified thickness. The mating contact finish (gold) is identical in both parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 5-534267-1 is recommended for new designs due to its RoHS Compliant status. This part aligns with current environmental regulations and manufacturing standards. The 534267-1 remains suitable for legacy system maintenance and applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts provide identical electrical performance. Contact material (phosphor bronze), mating contact finish (gold, 30.0µin), contact geometry (square shape), and contact length (0.125" post length) are identical. Electrical characteristics are determined by these parameters, which do not vary between the two parts.

Q: What does the REACH Affected designation mean for the 534267-1?

A: The REACH Affected status indicates the 534267-1 contains substances of concern under European REACH regulations. Applications subject to REACH restrictions should specify the 5-534267-1 or confirm REACH compliance status with TE Connectivity. The 5-534267-1 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined, requiring direct clarification from the manufacturer.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided the assembly design does not specify a particular post finish or RoHS compliance requirement. Both connectors are mechanically and electrically equivalent. Substitution in existing assemblies requires verification that the post finish change (tin-lead to tin) does not conflict with assembly process specifications or solder joint requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the part number prefix "5-" in the 5-534267-1?

A: The "5-" prefix indicates a manufacturing revision within the TE Connectivity part numbering system. This revision reflects the transition to RoHS-compliant materials and tin post plating. The base product number (534267) remains identical, confirming functional equivalence across the series.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both the 534267-1 and 5-534267-1 are supplied in tube packaging. Inventory availability differs: 534267-1 has 1640 pieces in stock, while 5-534267-1 has 2571 pieces in stock.
