TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 55323-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 55323-5 is a 6-pin screw terminal connector designed for power tap applications with 6-32 screw size. This through-hole mounted terminal features solder termination and is constructed with copper contacts and tin-lead finish. The component is currently active in production with 1985 pieces available in new original stock condition.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector family, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative compliance certifications are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 55323-5 and the equivalent part 5055323-5 is established through alignment of core electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components maintain identical pin count (6 pins), screw size (6-32), mounting configuration (through hole), and terminal classification (screw terminal, power tap). Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share the same base product number family designation.

The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters:

• Number of Pins: 6 (identical)
• Screw Size: 6-32 (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Terminal Type: Screw Terminal, Power Tap (identical)
• Contact Material: Copper or Copper Alloy (compatible)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications (identical)

Differences in termination method (solder versus press-fit), contact finish (tin-lead versus tin), and RoHS compliance status do not preclude substitution when mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 55323-5 and 5055323-5 are active production components from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with identical mechanical and electrical core specifications for 6-pin, 6-32 screw terminal applications.

The 55323-5 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable and solder termination is the preferred assembly method.

The 5055323-5 is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and where press-fit termination is compatible with assembly processes. This substitute part also provides a specified current rating of 15 A and is available in higher inventory quantity (2415 pieces versus 1985 pieces).

Selection between these parts is determined by specific application requirements regarding termination method, RoHS compliance mandate, and assembly process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5055323-5 directly replace 55323-5 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the design accommodates press-fit termination instead of solder termination. The mechanical form factor, pin count, screw size, and mounting configuration are identical. Assembly process compatibility must be confirmed.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The main differences are termination method (solder versus press-fit), contact finish (tin-lead versus tin), and RoHS compliance status. The electrical and mechanical specifications for pin count, screw size, and mounting type remain identical.

Q: Are there current rating differences between these parts?

A: The 5055323-5 specifies a current rating of 15 A. The 55323-5 does not provide a current rating specification in the available documentation.

Q: Does the contact material difference affect substitution?

A: Both parts use copper-based contact materials (copper and copper alloy respectively). This material compatibility supports substitution for standard power tap applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on compliance requirements and assembly process capability. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the 5055323-5 is the appropriate choice. For applications where solder termination is mandated, the 55323-5 is required.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging and are available in new original stock condition.
