Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 552631-1 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent components:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Series: CHAMP (ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with CHAMP D-Sub connector systems)
• Thread Size: 4-40 (ensures proper fastening interface)
• For Use With/Related Products: CHAMP D-Sub Connectors (confirms functional application)
• Category: D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors (maintains connector family classification)
• ECCN: EAR99 (export control classification consistency)
• HTSUS Code: 8538.90.8180 (tariff classification consistency)

The substitute part 5552631-1 maintains all mandatory compatibility parameters while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics. The transition from a slotted jackscrew to a jackscrew socket configuration represents a functional evolution within the CHAMP accessory ecosystem, both serving the same connector mounting application with identical thread specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 5552631-1

The 5552631-1 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 552631-1. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 5552631-1 maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain reliability. The 552631-1 is classified as obsolete, creating long-term sourcing risk.

Compliance Enhancement: The 5552631-1 achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The original 552631-1 is RoHS non-compliant, limiting its use in applications subject to RoHS directives.

REACH Compliance: The 5552631-1 is designated as REACH Affected, providing documented compliance status for European Union chemical regulations. The 552631-1 has undefined REACH status, introducing regulatory uncertainty.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical thread specifications (4-40), series designation (CHAMP), and application scope (CHAMP D-Sub Connectors). The transition from slotted jackscrew to jackscrew socket configuration represents a design refinement within the same functional category, with both components serving identical mounting and fastening purposes.

Packaging and Documentation: The 5552631-1 is supplied in box packaging with hardware included, providing complete assembly readiness and reducing procurement complexity.
