Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 552402-1 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Series: CHAMP .085
• Number of Positions: 50
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Plug
• Termination Method: IDC
• Connector Style: Center Strip Contacts
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Straight in-line or right angle configurations
• Product Status: Active or obsolete
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant or non-compliant
• Flange Features: Presence or absence of housing/shell and mounting hardware

The substitute part 5552402-1 maintains all mandatory matching parameters while introducing a right-angle mounting configuration and active product status with RoHS compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Straight In-Line Orientation):

The 552402-1 is obsolete. Direct replacement with identical straight in-line mounting is not available from the provided substitute list. The 5552402-1 introduces a right-angle mounting configuration, which requires mechanical redesign of the connector interface.

For New Designs and Maintenance Applications:

The 5552402-1 is the active equivalent within the CHAMP .085 series. This substitute part offers:

• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• RoHS compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Identical electrical interface (50 positions, 2 rows, IDC termination, gold contacts)
• Enhanced mechanical features including backshell, cable clamp, and mounting hardware
• Right-angle mounting configuration suitable for space-constrained applications

Selection of the 5552402-1 requires accommodation of the right-angle mounting geometry in the mechanical design. The connector maintains electrical compatibility through identical contact configuration, position count, and termination method.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5552402-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 552402-1 without mechanical modification?

A: No. The 5552402-1 features right-angle mounting, while the 552402-1 uses straight in-line mounting. Mechanical redesign of the connector interface is required. The electrical interface remains compatible.

Q: What are the key electrical compatibility factors between these parts?

A: Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications: 50 positions, 2 rows, center strip contacts, IDC termination, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. Electrical compatibility is preserved across the substitution.

Q: Why is the 552402-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 552402-1 is classified as obsolete by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The 5552402-1 represents the active product line continuation within the CHAMP .085 series.

Q: Does the 5552402-1 include additional features not present in the 552402-1?

A: Yes. The 5552402-1 includes backshell, cable clamp, and mounting hardware features, along with a housing/shell (4-40) flange. The 552402-1 does not specify these features.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 552402-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5552402-1 is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 5552402-1 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 552402-1 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 5552402-1 is packaged in boxes. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for both parts?

A: Both the 552402-1 and 5552402-1 have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
