Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5536624-1 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 4
• Connector Type: Header, Male Blades
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Layout: 8 Power
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: Yes
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF meet all critical dimensional and electrical parameters. Both parts are Metral® series blade power connectors with identical position count, pitch, row configuration, and thermal operating range. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The primary difference between the main part and substitutes is the termination method: the TE Connectivity 5536624-1 uses solder termination, while the Amphenol ICC substitutes employ press-fit termination. Both termination methods are through-hole mounting technologies suitable for PCB assembly.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TE Connectivity 5536624-1, Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF, and Amphenol ICC 70236-103LF—are active production components with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on PCB assembly process requirements and termination method compatibility.

TE Connectivity 5536624-1 is appropriate for applications requiring solder termination processes and is currently available with 860 units in stock.

Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF are suitable for applications utilizing press-fit termination assembly methods. Both Amphenol ICC parts are available in higher quantities (2608 and 1815 units respectively) and include REACH compliance documentation. The press-fit termination method eliminates solder reflow requirements and provides mechanical retention through blade interference fit into plated through-holes.

Selection of substitute parts requires confirmation that the PCB design accommodates press-fit termination hole specifications and that assembly equipment supports press-fit insertion processes. All three parts maintain identical electrical performance parameters within the specified operating temperature range and voltage rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF or 70236-103LF be used as direct replacements for TE Connectivity 5536624-1?

A: Both Amphenol ICC parts are mechanically and electrically compatible substitutes. The primary difference is termination method: TE Connectivity uses solder termination while Amphenol ICC uses press-fit termination. PCB design and assembly process must support press-fit technology for these substitutes to function as direct replacements.

Q: What is the difference between Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. They share the same connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. Both employ press-fit termination and maintain RoHS compliance. The parts are interchangeable from an engineering standpoint.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. TE Connectivity 5536624-1, Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF, and Amphenol ICC 70236-103LF are all RoHS compliant. The Amphenol ICC parts additionally carry REACH compliance documentation.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: TE Connectivity 5536624-1 has a specified voltage rating of 30V. Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF do not have voltage ratings specified in the provided data; however, both are rated for 3A current at the contact level.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage?

A: All three parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Standard component storage conditions are appropriate.

Q: What is the pitch specification and why is it important?

A: All three parts have a pitch of 0.236" (6.00mm), which defines the center-to-center spacing between connector positions. This specification is critical for PCB layout and ensures mechanical compatibility between the connector and the mating receptacle or application interface.
