TE Connectivity 5536626-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5536626-1 is an 8-position backplane connector header featuring male blades with through-hole press-fit termination. This Futurebus-style connector is designed for PCB applications requiring power distribution across 8 positions arranged in a 4-row configuration. The part maintains active product status with 755 units in current inventory stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and support applications where alternative connector styles meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5536626-1 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Substitution Criteria:

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

The substitute parts listed below meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in connector style designation (Futurebus versus Blade Power) and color options do not affect functional compatibility when all specified parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts listed—the primary TE Connectivity 5536626-1 and the two Amphenol ICC alternatives (70236-101LF and 70236-103LF)—maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS regulations and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Each part is rated for identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C) and moisture sensitivity classifications.

The Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF variants are functionally equivalent substitutes based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and environmental ratings. Both Amphenol parts provide specified current ratings of 3A per position, supporting power distribution applications within the defined voltage and temperature parameters.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time requirements, and established supplier relationships, as all three parts satisfy the same functional and compliance requirements for backplane connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF or 70236-103LF be used as direct replacements for the TE Connectivity 5536626-1?

A: Yes. Both Amphenol ICC parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 8 positions, 0.236" (6.00mm) pitch, 4-row configuration, through-hole press-fit termination, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). All three parts are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 classification.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity Futurebus style and the Amphenol ICC Blade Power style?

A: The connector style designation reflects manufacturer naming conventions. Both styles employ identical mechanical and electrical specifications for this 8-position, 4-row configuration. The functional performance and PCB footprint compatibility remain unchanged.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536626-1 specifies flash gold plating, while the Amphenol ICC parts (70236-101LF and 70236-103LF) specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical performance for the specified voltage and current applications.

Q: Do all three parts support the same current rating?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536626-1 does not specify a current rating in the provided data. The Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF are each rated for 3A per position. Verify application current requirements against the 3A specification when selecting Amphenol alternatives.

Q: Are there voltage rating differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536626-1 is rated for 30V. The Amphenol ICC parts do not specify a voltage rating in the provided data. Confirm voltage compatibility with application requirements when selecting substitutes.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: TE Connectivity 5536626-1: 755 units in stock. Amphenol ICC 70236-101LF: 2608 units in stock. Amphenol ICC 70236-103LF: 1815 units in stock. All parts are available as new original components in tube packaging.

Q: Are all parts REACH compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536626-1 does not specify REACH status in the provided data. Both Amphenol ICC parts (70236-101LF and 70236-103LF) are listed as REACH Affected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and region.
