TE Connectivity 536507-4 Backplane Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 536507-4 is a 192-position Futurebus receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This connector features a natural color finish, gold-plated contacts, and operates across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with a 30V voltage rating.

The 536507-4 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility without design modifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 536507-4 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters establish the substitution criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Connector style: Futurebus
• Number of positions: 192
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of rows: 4
• Mounting type: Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Voltage rating: 30V
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5536507-4 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and regulatory compliance posture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5536507-4 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 536507-4. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering considerations:

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 536507-4 remains suitable for repair and replacement of existing installations where the connector is already in service. Current inventory of 875 pieces supports ongoing maintenance requirements.

For New Designs and Forward Compatibility: The 5536507-4 is the recommended selection due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part ensures alignment with current regulatory requirements and provides access to ongoing manufacturer support. The 5536507-4 carries higher inventory availability at 1042 pieces.

Regulatory Compliance Consideration: The 5536507-4 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 536507-4 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance must utilize the 5536507-4.

Packaging Difference: The 5536507-4 is supplied in tube packaging, while the 536507-4 packaging specification is not provided. This distinction may affect handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5536507-4 directly replace the 536507-4 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 5536507-4 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 536507-4 across all specified parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, temperature rating, and voltage rating. Direct substitution is supported without design modifications.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 536507-4 to 5536507-4?

A: The 536507-4 carries an obsolete product status, limiting future availability and manufacturer support. The 5536507-4 maintains active product status with higher inventory levels and current regulatory compliance (ROHS3). For new designs and long-term system support, the 5536507-4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 30V voltage rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and gold-plated contact finish. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect connector functionality?

A: No. Packaging (tube for 5536507-4 versus unspecified for 536507-4) affects handling, storage, and logistics but does not alter connector electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process requirements and storage conditions.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the 5536507-4?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the 5536507-4 meets current Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives. Applications subject to RoHS requirements, customer specifications, or regulatory frameworks mandating RoHS compliance must use the 5536507-4. The 536507-4 does not meet these requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 536507-4 and 5536507-4 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Thermal performance and reliability are equivalent across this range.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting high-reliability applications. The 5536507-4 is preferred for new high-reliability designs due to active product status and regulatory compliance.
