Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 552241-1 and 5552241-1 is valid based on the following critical parameters that remain identical across both part numbers:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Position count: 36 positions
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting method: Board edge, straddle mount
• Termination: Solder
• Connector style: Outer shroud contacts
• Contact finish material: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Series designation: CHAMP .085
• Flange feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN classification: EAR99
• HTSUS code: 8536.69.4040

The primary differences between these parts are packaging format and regulatory compliance status, which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 552241-1 and 5552241-1 are active production parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

552241-1 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable and bulk packaging is preferred. This part number maintains the original specification baseline.

5552241-1 is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This part number provides the same functional performance with updated regulatory compliance status. The tray packaging format may be preferred for automated assembly processes or inventory management systems requiring standardized packaging.

Both parts share identical contact configuration, termination method, mounting type, and electrical characteristics. The choice between them depends on regulatory requirements and packaging logistics rather than technical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 552241-1 and 5552241-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical connector type, position count, row configuration, contact finish, and termination method. They perform the same electrical function in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (bulk versus tray) and RoHS compliance status. 552241-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while 5552241-1 is ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use 5552241-1 as a direct replacement for 552241-1?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, if your application or supply chain requires non-compliant components, 552241-1 remains the appropriate choice. If RoHS3 compliance is required, 5552241-1 is the correct selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Tray and bulk packaging formats do not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues between these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the same CHAMP .085 series with identical specifications for all functional parameters.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
