Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5534026-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 96
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 3
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold
• Color: Black

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN classification: EAR99

The identified substitute parts meet all primary matching criteria and maintain compatibility with the original connector's electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitutes are grouped based on their ability to function as direct replacements in PCB backplane applications without requiring design modifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

50000-1096ELF (Amphenol ICC HPC™ Series)

This substitute maintains full parameter alignment with the original TE Connectivity 5534026-2, including contact finish thickness, flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity classification. Both components share obsolete product status. The 50000-1096ELF is RoHS compliant and carries identical ECCN classification. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the original connector is no longer available.

RE96FSR (Vector Electronics RE96 Series)

This substitute meets all primary matching criteria for connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. The RE96FSR maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Contact finish thickness is reduced to 10.0µin (0.25µm) compared to the original 30.0µin specification. The RE96FSR is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. This part is suitable for new designs and applications requiring long-term component availability.

Selection between substitute parts depends on procurement requirements: the 50000-1096ELF provides closest parameter matching for legacy system maintenance, while the RE96FSR offers superior long-term availability for ongoing production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50000-1096ELF be used as a direct replacement for the 5534026-2?

A: Yes. The 50000-1096ELF matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including 96 positions, 0.100" pitch, three-row configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both components are obsolete and share identical ECCN classification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the RE96FSR and the original 5534026-2?

A: The RE96FSR has a reduced contact finish thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm) compared to the original 30.0µin (0.76µm) specification. The RE96FSR is active product status, ensuring continued availability. All other electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original connector.

Q: Are all three connectors PCB-compatible?

A: Yes. The 5534026-2, 50000-1096ELF, and RE96FSR all feature through-hole solder termination, right-angle mounting, and identical pitch and row configuration, making them compatible with PCB designs specified for 96-position backplane connectors.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new production designs?

A: The RE96FSR is recommended for new production designs due to its active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 5534026-2 is ROHS3 compliant, the 50000-1096ELF is RoHS compliant, and the RE96FSR is ROHS3 compliant. All parts meet current environmental compliance standards.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each connector?

A: The 5534026-2 operates from -65°C to 125°C. The 50000-1096ELF operating temperature range is not specified in available documentation. The RE96FSR operates from -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations different between the parts?

A: The 5534026-2 and 50000-1096ELF both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The RE96FSR has MSL rating of Not Applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity classification.
