Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (536504-4): The 536504-4 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material sourcing is permissible. This part maintains active production status with established inventory levels.

Substitute Part Selection (5536504-4): The 5536504-4 is the direct functional equivalent with enhanced regulatory compliance. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, making it the preferred choice for applications subject to European Union regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance. The substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical performance while offering improved compliance posture.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in tube packaging, which may affect procurement workflows and handling procedures compared to the main part's unspecified packaging configuration.

Inventory Availability: Both parts maintain active production status. The substitute part currently holds higher inventory levels (913 units versus 766 units), which may influence lead time and availability for high-volume procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 536504-4 and 5536504-4 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical parameters including voltage rating (30V), contact configuration (192 positions, 4 rows, 0.079" pitch), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Are the 536504-4 and 5536504-4 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, natural color, and Futurebus connector style. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (tube for the substitute), RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 compliant for the substitute versus non-compliant for the main part), and REACH regulatory status (unaffected for the substitute versus affected for the main part). Functional performance is identical.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance or REACH compliance, specify the 5536504-4. For applications without these regulatory constraints, either part is functionally equivalent.

Q: Does packaging affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (tube versus unspecified) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging differences only impact handling, storage, and procurement logistics.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both the 536504-4 and 5536504-4 maintain active production status with current inventory availability.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, they can be used interchangeably within the same PCB assembly without performance degradation.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts have a moisture sensitivity level of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
