Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 744918190 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5526-1. Selection is based on:

  • Identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters
  • Active product status with established supply chain availability
  • ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory advantage over the non-compliant original part
  • AEC-Q200 automotive qualification rating
  • Comparable physical footprint suitable for existing PCB layouts
  • Specified DC resistance of 15 mOhm maximum provides additional design margin

The substitute maintains functional equivalence for all applications where the 5526-1 was originally specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 744918190 be used as a direct replacement for the 5526-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 744918190 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of the 5526-1. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerances for standard PCB layouts. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in DC resistance between these parts?

A: The 5526-1 DC resistance is not specified in available documentation. The 744918190 specifies a maximum DC resistance of 15 mOhm. This specification provides additional design information for the substitute part.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations for substitution?

A: The 5526-1 operates from -55°C to 125°C. The 744918190 operates from -40°C to 125°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C, the original part specification must be maintained. For standard industrial and commercial temperature ranges, the substitute is suitable.

Q: What packaging format is the 744918190 supplied in?

A: The 744918190 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with supplier device package designation 5910, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute part have any additional certifications?

A: Yes. The 744918190 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance, providing enhanced regulatory and quality assurance status compared to the obsolete original part.
