Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 534972-1 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the AMPMODU Mod II series. The critical parameters determining substitutability are:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 30 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 2-row configuration
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination for PCB integration
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold plating for reliable signal transmission
• Insulation Material: Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) for mechanical and thermal stability
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening for secure mating

The substitute part 5-534972-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-534972-1 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 534972-1. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II rectangular connector series, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board applications requiring 30-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with through-hole solder termination.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 534972-1 is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5-534972-1 is an active product with RoHS compliance. For new designs and ongoing production requiring regulatory adherence, the 5-534972-1 is the appropriate selection. The contact finish on the post differs between the two parts: the original uses Tin-Lead while the substitute uses Tin, reflecting modern manufacturing standards.

Both parts share identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited), export control designation (EAR99), and tariff classification (HTSUS 8536.69.4040), confirming their equivalence for supply chain and regulatory purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 534972-1 and 5-534972-1 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 30-position receptacle connectors in the AMPMODU Mod II series with identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), contact configuration, gold mating finish, and through-hole solder termination. They are functionally equivalent for board-to-board connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish on the post for these two parts?

A: The 534972-1 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5-534972-1 uses Tin post finish. This reflects the transition to lead-free manufacturing standards. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and solder joint reliability.

Q: Why is the 534972-1 classified as obsolete?

A: The 534972-1 is an older product designation within the AMPMODU Mod II series. The 5-534972-1 represents the current active equivalent, offering improved compliance characteristics and modern manufacturing standards while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect connector performance?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the absence of restricted substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBBs, PBDEs) in the component. The 5-534972-1 RoHS compliance status makes it suitable for applications and markets requiring regulatory adherence. Electrical and mechanical performance characteristics remain equivalent between the two parts.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 534972-1 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 5-534972-1 is supplied in bag packaging. This distinction affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact connector functionality or performance.

Q: Are there any operating temperature or current rating specifications provided?

A: Operating temperature and current rating specifications are not provided in the available technical documentation for either part. Consult the complete TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series datasheet for these parameters if required for your application.

Q: Can the 5-534972-1 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies using the 534972-1?

A: Yes. The 5-534972-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications and is designed as the active equivalent. Direct substitution is appropriate for repair, maintenance, and production applications.
