Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of backplane connectors is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header, Male Pins)
• Connector style (Futurebus)
• Number of positions (192)
• Voltage rating (30V)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Number of rows (4)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Board guide feature presence

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 5536501-4 maintains full equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences exist only in regulatory compliance status and inventory availability, not in form, fit, or function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 536501-4 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material status is permissible. This part maintains Active product status with robust inventory availability of 2220 units.

Part 5536501-4 is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This part also maintains Active product status and provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance. Inventory availability is 1139 units.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are classified as Active products. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements specific to the end application and geographic market. No functional or performance differences exist between the two parts; differences are limited to compliance certifications and inventory levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are parts 536501-4 and 5536501-4 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 192-position Futurebus header connectors with identical electrical specifications including 30V voltage rating, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are parts 536501-4 and 5536501-4 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and board guide feature. PCB footprints are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. Part 5536501-4 is ROHS3 compliant, while part 536501-4 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain identical form, fit, and function.

Q: Can I substitute 536501-4 with 5536501-4 in a new design?

A: Substitution is determined by application requirements. If ROHS3 compliance is required, use 5536501-4. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part is functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), maintain the same voltage rating (30V), and feature identical contact materials and finishes. Performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Do both parts support the full 192-position load?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied with all 192 positions loaded.
