Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 535099-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 120
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 3
• Style: C
• Level, Class: 2
• Contact finish: Gold
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation material: Polyester, Glass Filled

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• PCB mounting configuration

The substitute part 535079-5 maintains identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the termination method: the 535099-5 uses solder termination, while the 535079-5 uses press-fit termination. Both termination methods are compatible with through-hole PCB mounting and provide equivalent electrical performance for the connector interface.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 535079-5

The 535079-5 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 535099-5. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, style classification, mounting method, contact finish, operating temperature range, and material certifications.

The 535079-5 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing and inventory availability (1262 pieces in stock), ensuring reliable supply for replacement and new production applications. The connector maintains full compatibility with existing PCB designs and mating components specified for the 535099-5.

The termination method difference (solder versus press-fit) does not affect connector compatibility or electrical performance. Both termination approaches are standard through-hole mounting techniques suitable for PCB assembly. Selection between solder and press-fit termination depends on assembly process requirements and equipment capabilities.

The 535079-5 carries identical regulatory classifications (UL94 V-0, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) as the main part, ensuring compliance with the same application requirements and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 535079-5 directly replace the 535099-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 535079-5 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 535099-5. Both connectors have identical position counts (120), pitch (0.100"), row configuration (3 rows), style (C), contact finish (gold), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and material specifications. The connectors are interchangeable at the interface level.

Q: What is the difference between solder and press-fit termination?

A: The 535099-5 uses solder termination, while the 535079-5 uses press-fit termination. Both are through-hole mounting methods. Solder termination requires wave or reflow soldering during PCB assembly. Press-fit termination uses mechanical insertion into plated through-holes without solder. Both methods provide equivalent electrical connections and are suitable for backplane connector applications.

Q: Why is the 535099-5 listed as obsolete?

A: The 535099-5 is no longer in active production. The 535079-5 serves as the current active equivalent, providing the same functionality with modern manufacturing and supply chain support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors carry identical regulatory classifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040. Both have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. Compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: What is the current inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The 535079-5 has 1262 pieces in stock as new original inventory, providing immediate availability for production and replacement applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and PCB footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 120 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 3-row configuration, Style C, and through-hole mounting type. PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: Can I use the 535079-5 in applications originally designed for the 535099-5?

A: Yes. The 535079-5 is a direct substitute for the 535099-5. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications are identical. The connector is suitable for all applications where the 535099-5 was originally specified.
