Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5536280-5 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 120
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Voltage Rating: 30VAC
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 125°C
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5149011-5 meets all critical matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Variations in contact post length and insulation height reflect design iterations within the same connector family and do not preclude functional equivalence in applications where the mating interface and electrical characteristics remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5149011-5 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5536280-5. Selection of the 5149011-5 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 5149011-5 maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The 5536280-5 is classified as Obsolete, making the 5149011-5 the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental qualification and handling requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The 5149011-5 preserves all critical mating interface parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, row arrangement, and voltage rating. These parameters ensure functional equivalence in board-to-board interconnection applications.

Physical Differences: The 5149011-5 exhibits increased contact post length (0.125" versus 0.095") and insulation height (0.648" versus 0.340"), resulting in higher mated stacking heights (18.75mm versus 10.92mm). These dimensional variations reflect design evolution within the Micro-Strip series and do not compromise electrical performance or mating interface compatibility when used in applications designed for the substitute part's physical envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5149011-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 5536280-5 in existing designs?

A: The 5149011-5 provides electrical and mating interface equivalence to the 5536280-5. However, the increased insulation height and contact post length of the 5149011-5 result in different mated stacking heights. Design verification is required to confirm that the substitute part's physical dimensions are compatible with the application's mechanical envelope and PCB layout constraints.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are contact post length and insulation height. The 5536280-5 features a 0.095" contact post and 0.340" insulation height, while the 5149011-5 has a 0.125" contact post and 0.648" insulation height. Both parts share identical mating pitch, row spacing, position count, and electrical ratings.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. No compliance or certification differences exist between the two connectors.

Q: Why is the 5536280-5 classified as Obsolete?

A: The 5536280-5 is classified as Obsolete by the manufacturer. The 5149011-5 represents the current active product offering within the Micro-Strip connector family for this configuration.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 5536280-5 has 856 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 5149011-5 has 956 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Inventory availability may vary based on current procurement status.

Q: How do the mated stacking heights differ, and does this affect application compatibility?

A: The 5536280-5 produces a mated stacking height of 10.92mm, while the 5149011-5 produces 18.75mm. This 7.83mm difference results from the increased contact post length and insulation height of the substitute part. Applications must accommodate this dimensional change to ensure proper mechanical fit and electrical connection integrity.
