Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 535676-7 and 5535676-7 is valid based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same core specifications: 8-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, gold mating contact finish, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The AMPMODU Mod II series designation confirms mechanical and electrical compatibility.

The primary differences between these parts are packaging format (tube versus bulk) and post-contact finish specifications (tin-lead versus tin). These variations do not affect functional compatibility in board-to-board applications. The substitute part 5535676-7 offers higher inventory availability (2641 pieces) and RoHS compliance status, while the main part 535676-7 is supplied in tube packaging with RoHS non-compliant status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 535676-7 and 5535676-7 are active production parts within the AMPMODU Mod II series and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for board-to-board rectangular connector applications requiring 8-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle configurations.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

535676-7 is appropriate for applications where tube packaging is required for component handling and storage, or where RoHS non-compliant status is acceptable for the end application.

5535676-7 is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance, bulk packaging for high-volume assembly operations, or where higher inventory availability is needed. The tin post finish with increased thickness (150.0µin versus 50.0µin) provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin-lead finish of the main part.

Both parts operate identically across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range and maintain the same mating contact specifications, insulation material, and mechanical mounting characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 535676-7 and 5535676-7 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically interchangeable. They share identical connector type, contact configuration, mating pitch, contact finish on mating surfaces, and operating temperature specifications. The differences in post contact finish and packaging do not affect electrical performance in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: 535676-7 is supplied in tube packaging, which is suitable for smaller quantity orders and manual component handling. 5535676-7 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations and reduces per-unit packaging material.

Q: Does the post contact finish difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The post contact finish difference (tin-lead in 535676-7 versus tin in 5535676-7) does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility. Both finishes are suitable for solder termination. The increased thickness of the tin finish in 5535676-7 (150.0µin) provides additional corrosion resistance compared to the tin-lead finish in 535676-7 (50.0µin).

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement for products sold in certain markets. 5535676-7 is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. 535676-7 is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only for applications where RoHS compliance is not required.

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range are not suitable for either part.

Q: Are there any mechanical differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical mechanical specifications including insulation height (0.137"), contact length (0.115"), contact shape (square), contact material (phosphor bronze), and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle).
