Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5532448-5 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 532448-5 maintains identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, termination style, contact material and finish, color, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. These parameters define the physical and electrical compatibility required for direct substitution in existing PCB designs and mating connector applications.

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status (obsolete versus active) and regulatory compliance posture. The substitute part 532448-5 is currently in active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 532448-5 provides complete functional and mechanical equivalence to the obsolete 5532448-5 across all critical connector parameters. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, physical dimensions, contact specifications, and environmental ratings required for direct PCB design compatibility.

Selection of 532448-5 is appropriate for applications requiring active product status and ongoing supply chain availability. The substitute part is currently in production with documented inventory levels supporting procurement requirements.

Regulatory compliance considerations differ between the two parts. The main part 5532448-5 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the substitute part 532448-5 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must account for this distinction. The substitute part carries REACH Affected status, whereas the main part status is vendor-undefined for REACH compliance.

Packaging configuration differs, with the substitute part supplied in tube packaging. Design and procurement workflows must accommodate this packaging specification for assembly and handling processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
