TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 536272-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 536272-6 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This vertical orientation connector features 140 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing, classified within the Micro-Strip series. The connector is actively manufactured and maintained in production status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory constraints, addressing supply chain variations, or accommodating design flexibility within established electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector headers within this product category is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm mating pitch)
• Number of positions (140 total)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Voltage rating (30VAC minimum)
• Contact type (Male Pin)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug, Board to Board)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Insulation height (0.340" / 8.64mm)
• Mated stacking height (10.92mm)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in contact finish specifications (mating and post finishes) do not preclude substitution when all other parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 536272-6 and 5536272-6 are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full compliance with RoHS standards. The primary distinction between these parts is the contact finish specification on the post termination: the main part 536272-6 utilizes Tin-Lead finish, while the substitute part 5536272-6 utilizes Tin finish.

From a compliance perspective, both parts satisfy RoHS requirements, with the substitute part carrying ROHS3 designation. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch spacing, position count, row configuration, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and mounting characteristics.

Selection between these parts should be based on post finish requirements specific to the application. The Tin-Lead finish of the main part 536272-6 may be preferred in applications requiring specific solderability characteristics or legacy design compatibility. The Tin finish of the substitute part 5536272-6 aligns with modern lead-free manufacturing standards and ROHS3 compliance frameworks.

Both parts are suitable for board-to-board through-hole applications requiring 140-position rectangular connectors with 1.27mm pitch spacing and push-pull fastening mechanisms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5536272-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 536272-6 in existing designs?

A: The 5536272-6 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 536272-6 across all critical parameters including pitch spacing, position count, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is the post contact finish (Tin versus Tin-Lead). Compatibility depends on whether the application design specifies post finish requirements. If the design does not explicitly require Tin-Lead finish, the 5536272-6 is suitable for direct substitution.

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

A: The main part 536272-6 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the substitute 5536272-6 features Tin post finish. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mechanical performance. The Tin finish in the substitute part reflects modern lead-free manufacturing practices and ROHS3 compliance. Selection should align with soldering process specifications and application requirements.

Q: Are both parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: The main part 536272-6 has 822 pieces in stock, while the substitute part 5536272-6 has 727 pieces in stock. Both quantities represent active inventory availability.

Q: Do these connectors support the same mating configurations?

A: Yes. Both the 536272-6 and 5536272-6 are identical in connector type (Plug), contact type (Male Pin), shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall), and fastening type (Push-Pull). They mate with identical receptacle connectors and support the same board-to-board connection architecture.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must remain constant for substitution?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in: pitch spacing (0.050" / 1.27mm), number of positions (140), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (Through Hole), termination method (Solder), voltage rating (30VAC), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C), and shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall). Variations in contact finish do not preclude substitution when all other parameters remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part 536272-6 is RoHS Compliant, and the substitute part 5536272-6 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing and hazardous substance restrictions.

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

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements during storage and handling.
