Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5-520809-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: SDL, Plug
• Number of positions: 4 Positions
• Current rating: 1.5 A
• Voltage rating: 30V
• Contact material and finish: Copper Alloy with Gold plating at 100.0µin (2.54µm)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Cable type: Ribbon
• Termination method: Crimp
• Shielding: Shielded
• Features: Keyed
• Length: 0.890" (22.61mm)
• Housing material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Shield material: Brass
• Color: Brown

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Series: 50
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5-1761192-1 meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active and RoHS compliant, whereas the original part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-1761192-1 is a direct functional equivalent to the 5-520809-1 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the same Series 50 product line and share identical specifications for connector type, position count, current and voltage ratings, contact materials, and physical dimensions.

The primary differentiators are product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

5-520809-1 (Original): Obsolete product status with RoHS non-compliant designation. This part is suitable for legacy system maintenance where existing inventory is available and regulatory compliance is not a requirement.

5-1761192-1 (Substitute): Active product status with RoHS compliant designation. This part is suitable for new designs, production builds, and applications where RoHS compliance is mandated. The active status ensures ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Selection between these parts should be based on project requirements regarding regulatory compliance, supply chain continuity, and design lifecycle phase. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the SDL 4-position shielded crimp connector category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5-520809-1 and 5-1761192-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications: 4-position SDL plug configuration, 1.5 A current rating, 30V voltage rating, gold-plated copper alloy contacts at 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness, and shielded brass construction. They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: Are the 5-520809-1 and 5-1761192-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 0.890" (22.61mm) length, ribbon cable type, crimp termination, keyed features, polycarbonate housing, and brown color. They are mechanically interchangeable.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 5-520809-1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 5-1761192-1 is active and RoHS compliant. Both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can I use the 5-1761192-1 as a replacement for the 5-520809-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-1761192-1 is a direct substitute for the 5-520809-1. No design modifications are required. The substitute part maintains all electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the connector meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. The 5-1761192-1 is RoHS compliant; the 5-520809-1 is not. RoHS compliance is required for many commercial and industrial applications.

Q: Is wire gauge a factor in substitution compatibility?

A: The 5-520809-1 does not specify wire gauge. The 5-1761192-1 specifies 24 AWG. Both connectors are ribbon cable connectors with crimp termination. Wire gauge compatibility should be verified against your specific cable assembly requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures.

Q: What packaging is available for the 5-1761192-1?

A: The 5-1761192-1 is available in bulk packaging. The original 5-520809-1 packaging specification is not provided.
