Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5536272-1 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 5536280-1. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and operating characteristics.

The primary distinction between these parts is the contact length on the post: the 5536280-1 features a 0.095" (2.41mm) post length, while the 5536272-1 provides a 0.125" (3.18mm) post length. This difference accommodates varying PCB thicknesses and soldering requirements without affecting mating compatibility or electrical performance.

The 5536272-1 carries an Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The 5536272-1 is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently utilizing the 5536280-1, with consideration given to PCB thickness compatibility relative to the extended post length.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5536272-1 directly replace the 5536280-1 in existing designs?

A: The 5536272-1 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 5536280-1 for mating and fastening operations. The extended post length (0.125" versus 0.095") accommodates thicker PCBs and provides additional solder joint material. Designs must verify PCB thickness compatibility with the longer post specification.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact post lengths?

A: The contact post length determines the depth of solder joint penetration into the PCB. The 5536272-1's longer post (0.125") is suitable for standard PCB thicknesses and provides enhanced solder joint reliability. The original 5536280-1's shorter post (0.095") was designed for thinner PCB applications. Selection depends on actual PCB thickness in the target application.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Both the 5536280-1 and 5536272-1 meet RoHS compliance requirements. The 5536280-1 is ROHS3 Compliant, while the 5536272-1 is RoHS Compliant. Both are suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: Why is the 5536280-1 listed as Obsolete?

A: The 5536280-1 has been discontinued by TE Connectivity. The 5536272-1 represents the current production equivalent, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support for new designs and component replenishment.

Q: Do both connectors support the same voltage and temperature specifications?

A: Both connectors operate at 30VAC voltage rating and -65°C to 125°C temperature range. Electrical performance characteristics are identical across both parts.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these connectors?

A: Both the 5536280-1 and 5536272-1 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Are the mating interfaces identical between these two connectors?

A: The mating interfaces are identical. Both connectors feature 40 positions in 2 rows with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing. Mated stacking height is 10.92mm for both parts, ensuring full compatibility with mating receptacles.
