Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 535677-2 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 7
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole, right angle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-pull
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation material: Polyester, glass filled
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact shape: Square
• Insulation height: 0.137" (3.47mm)
• Contact length - post: 0.115" (2.92mm)

The substitute part 5535677-2 maintains full compatibility across all mandatory parameters. Variations in contact finish specifications (tin-lead versus tin) and contact finish thickness do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability within the specified operating parameters. The substitute part is classified as active product status with RoHS compliance, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5535677-2 serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 535677-2. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 5535677-2 is classified as active product, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support, whereas the 535677-2 is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5535677-2 achieves RoHS compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions. The original 535677-2 is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict its use in new designs or applications subject to RoHS directives.

Mechanical and Electrical Interchangeability: Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters including connector geometry, pitch, mounting configuration, contact arrangement, and operating temperature range. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified operating envelope.

Contact Finish Specification: The substitute part features tin contact finish with increased thickness (150.0µin versus 100.0µin) compared to the tin-lead finish of the original part. This specification change provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved long-term reliability without affecting connector performance or compatibility.

Certification and Export Control: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, indicating no change in export control or tariff treatment.

For new designs and production applications, the 5535677-2 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 535677-2 remains in service, the 5535677-2 provides a direct replacement path with improved compliance and reliability characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 535677-2 and 5535677-2 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 7-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and all dimensional parameters. They are direct mechanical equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes in these connectors?

A: The 535677-2 uses tin-lead contact finish at 100.0µin thickness, while the 5535677-2 uses tin contact finish at 150.0µin thickness. Tin contact finish provides improved corrosion resistance and eliminates lead content, aligning with modern environmental standards. The increased thickness in the substitute part compensates for the finish material change and provides equivalent or superior performance.

Q: Why is the 535677-2 listed as obsolete?

A: The 535677-2 is classified as obsolete by TE Connectivity, indicating that the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support. The 5535677-2 represents the current active product in the AMPMODU Mod II series for this connector configuration.

Q: Can I use the 5535677-2 as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 535677-2?

A: Yes. The 5535677-2 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 535677-2 across all specified operating parameters. No design modifications are required for substitution in existing applications.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for the 5535677-2?

A: RoHS compliance indicates that the 5535677-2 meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, restricting the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. This compliance is required for many applications, particularly in consumer electronics and regulated industries. The original 535677-2 is RoHS non-compliant due to its tin-lead contact finish.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5535677-2 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 535677-2 packaging specification is not provided in the available documentation. Tube packaging is standard for this connector type and does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both connectors have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 535677-2 and 5535677-2 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in all specified environments.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. No special storage or handling procedures are necessary for either part.
