Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 552243-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 64 positions, 2 rows, center strip contacts
• Connector Type and Style: Plug with board-side flange
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact Properties: Gold finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Environmental Rating: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Series Designation: CHAMP .085

The substitute part 5552243-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part number 552243-1. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and compliance certification status. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share the same base product number designation within their respective part number structures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 552243-1 and 5552243-1 are functionally equivalent 64-position D-Sub plug connectors from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

RoHS Compliance Requirements: The 5552243-1 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 552243-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance must utilize the 5552243-1.

Packaging Format: The 552243-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 5552243-1 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements, handling procedures, and inventory management protocols.

Inventory Availability: The 552243-1 has 946 pieces in stock, while the 5552243-1 has 1255 pieces in stock. Availability may influence selection based on project timelines and procurement lead times.

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, contact properties, mounting type, and environmental ratings. Either part is suitable for applications requiring a 64-position through-hole solder D-Sub plug connector with center strip contacts and gold-plated terminations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 552243-1 and 5552243-1 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 64-position plug connectors with identical contact configurations, gold plating specifications, mounting types, and environmental ratings. They are functionally equivalent for circuit board integration.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format (bulk versus tray) and RoHS compliance certification. The 5552243-1 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 552243-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The 5552243-1 must be selected for applications requiring RoHS compliance. This part carries ROHS3 certification, while the 552243-1 does not meet RoHS requirements.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk or tray) does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or circuit board integration. Packaging selection is based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. Both the 552243-1 and 5552243-1 maintain active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both parts feature gold contact finish with a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: Can the 552243-1 be used in applications where the 5552243-1 is specified?

A: The 552243-1 can be used only in applications where RoHS compliance is not required. If RoHS compliance is a specification requirement, the 5552243-1 must be used.
