Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 552382-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions: 50
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Style: Center Strip Contacts
• Termination Method: IDC
• Series: CHAMP .085
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (4-40)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Mounting Type: The main part specifies Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle. Substitutes may vary in mounting orientation while maintaining free hanging (in-line) configuration.
• Product Status: Active substitutes are preferred for ongoing availability and compliance requirements.
• RoHS Compliance: Substitutes with improved compliance status are acceptable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory adherence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5552382-1 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 552382-1 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection of the 5552382-1 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 5552382-1 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and supply chain reliability. The 552382-1 is classified as obsolete, limiting future procurement options.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5552382-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 552382-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance, the 5552382-1 is the appropriate selection.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical specifications across connector type, position count, row configuration, contact style, termination method, series designation, contact finish, and flange features. The mounting type variation (right angle versus straight) represents a mechanical orientation difference that does not affect electrical performance or contact integrity.

Inventory and Availability: The 5552382-1 is available in tray packaging with 1159 pieces in stock, providing immediate procurement capability for production and design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5552382-1 directly replace the 552382-1 in existing assemblies?

A: The 5552382-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 552382-1 across all critical parameters. The primary difference is mounting orientation: the 552382-1 features right angle configuration, while the 5552382-1 is straight (in-line). Physical space constraints and cable routing requirements must be evaluated for each application to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the mounting type difference between these connectors?

A: The 552382-1 is configured for right angle mounting, directing the cable perpendicular to the connector body. The 5552382-1 is configured for straight (in-line) mounting, directing the cable parallel to the connector body. This difference affects physical layout and space requirements but does not impact electrical performance or signal integrity.

Q: Why is the 552382-1 classified as obsolete?

A: The 552382-1 is designated as obsolete by the manufacturer, indicating discontinued production and limited future availability. The 5552382-1 represents the active equivalent, ensuring continued access to this connector family for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental impact, not electrical performance. Both connectors deliver identical electrical characteristics. RoHS3 compliance of the 5552382-1 is required for applications subject to regulatory mandates or customer specifications.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical between these connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and contact reliability.

Q: What packaging format is the 5552382-1 supplied in?

A: The 5552382-1 is supplied in tray packaging. The main part 552382-1 does not specify a packaging format in available documentation.

Q: Are both connectors part of the same CHAMP .085 series?

A: Yes. Both the 552382-1 and 5552382-1 belong to the TE Connectivity CHAMP .085 series, confirming mechanical and electrical compatibility within the product family.
