TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 535676-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 535676-2 is a 3 Position Receptacle Connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board applications. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-lead plated posts, operating across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design and procurement requirements. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility while meeting current product availability and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for rectangular connectors is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions, mating pitch (0.100"), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), termination method (solder), and mating contact finish (gold). These parameters define mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connector halves and PCB assembly processes.

Two substitute parts are identified based on these criteria:

Direct Equivalent (Same Position Count): TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5535676-2 maintains identical position count (3), pitch, mounting type, and contact configuration. This part represents the active production equivalent within the same manufacturer series.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitute (Different Position Count): Molex 0901481306 shares the same mating pitch (0.100"), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), contact type (female socket), and termination method (solder). However, this part features 6 positions instead of 3, requiring circuit design accommodation. This substitute is applicable only when additional contact positions can be utilized or left unloaded in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5535676-2 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 535676-2. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the AMPMODU Mod II series. The 5535676-2 is currently in active production status with 977 units in stock. However, the 5535676-2 is classified as RoHS non-compliant, whereas the original 535676-2 is ROHS3 compliant. This compliance difference must be evaluated against project requirements. The contact finish on the post differs: the original uses tin-lead while the substitute uses tin only. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C and feature identical mating contact gold plating at 30.0µin thickness.

Molex 0901481306 serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative when circuit design permits accommodation of 6 positions instead of 3. This part is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production with 1009 units in stock. The operating temperature range is reduced to -55°C to 105°C, which may be limiting for applications requiring the full -55°C to 125°C range of the original part. The Molex connector features a slightly lower insulation height (0.130" versus 0.137") and includes specified current (3A) and voltage (350V) ratings not provided for the TE Connectivity parts. Selection of the Molex substitute requires verification that the reduced position count does not conflict with application requirements and that the lower maximum operating temperature is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5535676-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 535676-2?

A: The 5535676-2 maintains identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and contact configuration. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the same mating connectors. However, the 5535676-2 is RoHS non-compliant while the original is ROHS3 compliant. Verify compliance requirements for your application before substitution.

Q: What is the key difference between the TE Connectivity 535676-2 and the Molex 0901481306?

A: The primary difference is position count: the TE Connectivity part has 3 positions while the Molex part has 6 positions. Both share the same 0.100" mating pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. The Molex part also has a reduced maximum operating temperature of 105°C compared to 125°C for the TE Connectivity part.

Q: Can I use the Molex 0901481306 in place of the TE Connectivity 535676-2?

A: The Molex 0901481306 can be used only if your circuit design accommodates 6 contact positions instead of 3. The additional positions can remain unloaded if not required by the application. Verify that the reduced maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 125°C) meets your thermal requirements.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: All three parts feature gold-plated mating contacts at 30.0µin thickness. The post contact finish differs: the original 535676-2 uses tin-lead plating at 50.0µin thickness, while the 5535676-2 uses tin plating at 150.0µin thickness, and the Molex 0901481306 uses tin plating at 118.1µin thickness.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The original 535676-2 packaging is not specified in available data. The 5535676-2 is supplied in tube packaging with 977 units in stock. The Molex 0901481306 is also supplied in tube packaging with 1009 units in stock.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring identical 3-position configuration and full -55°C to 125°C operating range, select the TE Connectivity 5535676-2 if RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for your application. For designs requiring ROHS3 compliance and accepting 6-position configuration with reduced maximum operating temperature, select the Molex 0901481306.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same mating connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 535676-2 and 5535676-2 are compatible with the same 3-position mating connectors within the AMPMODU Mod II series. The Molex 0901481306 is compatible with 6-position mating connectors in the C-Grid 90148 series and is not directly compatible with 3-position AMPMODU connectors.
