Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5-520422-2 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type classification (SDL, Jack)
• Contact count (6 positions)
• Mounting method (through hole)
• Connector orientation (vertical)
• Termination method (solder)
• Port and row configuration (1 port, 1 row)
• Contact material (phosphor bronze)
• Housing material (polyester)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 80°C)
• Mechanical features (board guide, keyed design)

The substitute part 5-1761183-2 maintains all core compatibility parameters while introducing enhanced electrical characteristics through shielding and improved contact finish specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-1761183-2 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 5-520422-2. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 5-520422-2 is classified as obsolete, while the 5-1761183-2 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5-1761183-2 is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Electrical Enhancement: The substitute incorporates shielding, providing electromagnetic interference protection not present in the original design. The gold contact finish with increased thickness (50.0µin versus 30.0µin) provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to the tin-lead finish of the original part.

Mechanical Compatibility: All mechanical parameters remain identical, including mounting type, orientation, position count, and keyed board guide features, ensuring direct form-fit-function compatibility in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-1761183-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 5-520422-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-1761183-2 maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface parameters including connector type, position count, mounting method, orientation, and termination type. The substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are shielding capability, contact finish material, and product status. The 5-1761183-2 includes electromagnetic shielding, uses gold-plated contacts with greater thickness, and maintains active product status. The original 5-520422-2 is unshielded with tin-lead contacts and is obsolete.

Q: Does the shielding on the 5-1761183-2 affect physical dimensions or mounting?

A: No. The shielding does not alter the through-hole mounting footprint, vertical orientation, or board guide interface. Physical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 5-1761183-2 is RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. The original part is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or procurement in regulated markets, the substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 80°C.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The 5-1761183-2 has a contact finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm) compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the original part. The increased thickness on the substitute provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

Q: Is the packaging different between these parts?

A: Yes. The 5-520422-2 packaging is unspecified, while the 5-1761183-2 is supplied in tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
