TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 536397-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 536397-5 is a 48-position DIN receptacle connector with female sockets designed for backplane applications. This connector features gold-plated contacts, through-hole solder termination, and board lock functionality. The part is classified as Active product status and operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the original part is unavailable, discontinued, or when alternative compliance certifications are necessary.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 536397-5 with the HARTING 09232486824 is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 48-position DIN receptacle connectors with female sockets
• Pitch and Row Configuration: Both maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 3-row arrangement
• Mounting and Termination: Both utilize through-hole solder termination for PCB integration
• Electrical Classification: Both are Level/Class 2 connectors
• Flammability Compliance: Both meet UL94 V-0 material flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The HARTING 09232486824 operates within the DIN 41612 series standard, while the TE Connectivity part operates within the Eurocard series. Both series define equivalent 48-position, 3-row connector geometries with compatible pitch specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 536397-5 is selected when:

• RoHS non-compliant applications are acceptable
• Polyester glass-filled insulation material is specified
• Gold contact finish is required
• Eurocard series connector standard is mandated
• Board lock feature is required

HARTING 09232486824 is selected when:

• ROHS3 compliance is required
• Thermoplastic glass-filled insulation material is acceptable
• DIN 41612 series standard is mandated
• REACH compliance documentation is required
• Higher inventory availability is needed (2662 units in stock versus 862 units)

Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 48-position DIN receptacle connector applications with equivalent pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and flammability ratings. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory compliance requirements and material composition specifications for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 09232486824 directly replace the TE Connectivity 536397-5 in existing PCB designs?

A: The HARTING 09232486824 maintains equivalent pitch (0.100"), row configuration (3 rows), position count (48), and mounting type (through-hole solder). PCB footprints designed for the TE Connectivity part are mechanically compatible with the HARTING substitute. However, differences in insulation material composition (polyester versus thermoplastic) and contact finish specifications must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two 48-position DIN connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) RoHS compliance status—the HARTING part is ROHS3 compliant while the TE Connectivity part is non-compliant; (2) insulation material—polyester glass-filled versus thermoplastic glass-filled; (3) contact finish—gold plating on the TE Connectivity part versus unspecified on the HARTING part; (4) series standard—Eurocard versus DIN 41612.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent between these parts?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 536397-5 specifies gold contact finish, while the HARTING 09232486824 does not specify contact finish in the provided parameters. Contact finish affects electrical performance, corrosion resistance, and signal integrity. Application requirements for contact material must be verified before substitution.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs requiring regulatory compliance?

A: The HARTING 09232486824 is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH documentation. The TE Connectivity 536397-5 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and gold contact finish is specified.

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

A: The TE Connectivity 536397-5 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The HARTING 09232486824 does not specify operating temperature in the provided parameters. Operating temperature specifications must be confirmed with the manufacturer before substitution in temperature-critical applications.

Q: What is the significance of the board lock feature on the TE Connectivity part?

A: The TE Connectivity 536397-5 includes board lock functionality, which provides mechanical retention of the connector to the PCB during insertion and removal cycles. The HARTING 09232486824 does not specify this feature. Applications requiring positive mechanical locking must verify equivalent retention mechanisms on substitute parts.
