TE Connectivity 536416-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 536416-5 is a 96-position DIN plug connector with male pins, gold plating, and right-angle through-hole mounting. This backplane connector is part of the Eurocard series and is designed for PCB applications requiring high-density interconnection. The part is currently active in production with 964 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative manufacturers are required for supply chain diversification, or when design requirements permit functional equivalents that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Highest Compatibility):

The TE Connectivity 5536416-5 is the direct equivalent to the 536416-5. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and are both active in production. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: 536416-5 is RoHS non-compliant, while 5536416-5 is RoHS compliant. Selection between these two parts depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Active Substitutes (Functional Equivalents):

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) series parts (86093967113765E1LF, 86093967113785ELF, 86093967113H55SRLF, and 86093967123755E1LF) meet all primary matching criteria and are currently in active production. These parts differ from the main part in connector type (header versus plug) and insulation material composition. Selection of these parts requires confirmation that the mating interface accommodates a header connector rather than a plug connector.

The Hirose Electric PCN10 series parts (PCN10-96P-2.54DS(72), PCN10A-96P-2.54DS(72), and PCN10EA-96P-2.54DS(72)) meet all primary matching criteria and are currently in active production. These parts have a reduced operating temperature upper limit of 85°C compared to the 125°C specification of the main part. Selection of these parts is appropriate only for applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 85°C.

Obsolete or Limited Availability:

The Amphenol CONEC 121A10149X is obsolete and should not be selected for new designs. The Hirose Electric PCN10-96P-2.54DS(77) is designated as Last Time Buy and has limited availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a header connector for a plug connector?

A: Header and plug connectors are not interchangeable. A header connector is designed to accept a plug connector. Substitution is only possible if the mating interface of your application is compatible with the header type. Verify the mating connector specification before selecting a header-type substitute.

Q: What is the difference between 536416-5 and 5536416-5?

A: Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and have identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance: 536416-5 is RoHS non-compliant, while 5536416-5 is RoHS compliant. Selection depends on whether your application or regulatory jurisdiction requires RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I use Hirose Electric PCN10 series connectors in place of the TE Connectivity 536416-5?

A: The Hirose Electric PCN10 series parts meet all primary matching criteria with one exception: the maximum operating temperature is 85°C, compared to 125°C for the TE Connectivity 536416-5. These parts are suitable only for applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 85°C.

Q: What does "Last Time Buy" status mean?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the manufacturer will no longer produce the part after a specified date. The PCN10-96P-2.54DS(77) should not be selected for new designs or long-term production requirements. Active alternatives should be used instead.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The main part uses Polymer Thermoplastic with glass fill. Substitute parts use Polycarbonate, Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), or Polyester Thermoplastic, all with glass fill where specified. All materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Material selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard backplane connector applications.

Q: Does packaging format (bulk versus tray) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and logistics. Bulk and tray packaging contain identical connector components and do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the Level/Class designation?

A: The Level/Class designation indicates the connector's environmental and performance classification. The main part is Level/Class 2. Substitute parts range from Level/Class 1 to Level/Class 3. These designations reflect design and performance characteristics but do not prevent substitution for standard backplane applications.
