Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 552212-1 and 5552212-1 is valid based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical functional parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type, position count, and row configuration
• Through-hole solder termination
• Outer shroud contact design with board-side flange
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• CHAMP .085 series classification

Differentiating Factor: The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format. The 552212-1 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5552212-1 is supplied in tray packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

552212-1 Selection Criteria:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 552212-1 and 5552212-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical, featuring 14 positions, 2 rows, gold-plated contacts at 30.0µin thickness, and identical termination specifications. They function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The 552212-1 uses standard packaging, while the 5552212-1 uses tray packaging. Additionally, the 5552212-1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 552212-1 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can I use 5552212-1 as a direct replacement for 552212-1 in my design?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, if your application or supply chain requires RoHS non-compliant components, the 552212-1 remains the appropriate choice. If RoHS3 compliance is required, the 5552212-1 is the correct selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Tray packaging (5552212-1) and standard packaging (552212-1) do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on handling, storage, and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either part.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify 5552212-1 if RoHS3 compliance is required by your application standards or customer specifications. The 552212-1 remains valid for applications without RoHS compliance requirements.
