Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the 536514-4 and 5536514-4 is valid based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts maintain the same core specifications:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type, style, and position count (192-position Futurebus header, male pins)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (4 rows)
• Mounting method (through-hole)
• Termination technology (press-fit)
• Contact material and finish (gold)
• Voltage and temperature ratings (30V, -55°C to 125°C)
• Flammability classification (UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between these parts lies in product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance, not functional or physical characteristics. The substitute part 5536514-4 represents the active production equivalent with enhanced compliance documentation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production: Select the 5536514-4 substitute part. This part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The RoHS compliance certification of the 5536514-4 aligns with current regulatory requirements and supply chain standards for electronic components in most markets.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 536514-4 remains functionally equivalent for applications where the original part was specified. However, transition planning to the 5536514-4 is advisable given the obsolete status of the original part. Both parts share identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and thermal characteristics, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in existing PCB designs.

Compliance Considerations: The 5536514-4 provides RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 536514-4 is non-compliant. Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The substitute part's compliance status supports integration into modern supply chains and regulatory frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5536514-4 directly replace the 536514-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 192-position Futurebus header configuration, 0.079" pitch, through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, and gold contact finish are identical across both parts. PCB layouts and mating connector specifications require no modification.

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

A: The 5536514-4 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 536514-4. The substitute part offers RoHS compliance certification and active manufacturer support. Functionally, both parts perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 536514-4 and 5536514-4?

A: The 5536514-4 is supplied in tube packaging. The original 536514-4 packaging specification is not provided in the technical documentation. Tube packaging is standard for high-pin-count connectors and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What voltage and temperature specifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 536514-4 and 5536514-4 are rated for 30V operation across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. These specifications are identical and apply to all applications using either part.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect functional compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and material composition specification, not a functional characteristic. Both parts deliver identical electrical and mechanical performance. The RoHS compliance of the 5536514-4 provides regulatory alignment for modern supply chains and end-market requirements.

Q: Are both parts classified under the same export control and tariff codes?

A: Yes. Both the 536514-4 and 5536514-4 share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment.
