TE Connectivity 5536627-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5536627-1 is an 8-position backplane connector header featuring male blades with through-hole solder termination. This Futurebus-style connector is designed for power distribution applications with a 0.236" (6.00mm) pitch configuration across 4 rows. The part maintains active product status and is RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit equivalent connector styles.

• 4-row layout
• Through-hole mounting technology
• Male blade contact type
• 8-power contact layout
• Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS compliance
• MSL 1 rating

Acceptable Variations:

• Connector style (Futurebus to Blade Power)
• Termination method (Solder to Press-Fit)
• Contact finish thickness specifications
• Color designation (Natural vs. Natural/White)

The substitute parts 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering alternative termination and styling options suitable for equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector options maintain active product status and full RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications. The TE Connectivity 5536627-1 and both Amphenol ICC alternatives share identical electrical specifications, operating temperature ranges, and flammability certifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Termination Technology: The primary difference lies in termination method. The 5536627-1 uses solder termination, while 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF employ press-fit technology. Press-fit termination eliminates soldering requirements and reduces assembly process complexity.

Current Rating: The Amphenol ICC substitutes specify a 3A current rating, whereas the TE Connectivity part does not provide a current rating specification. Applications requiring explicit current rating documentation should reference the Amphenol ICC parts.

Connector Style: The TE Connectivity part uses Futurebus styling, while substitutes employ Blade Power styling. Both styles accommodate the same 8-position, 4-row configuration with matching pitch specifications.

Compliance Documentation: Both manufacturers provide REACH and RoHS compliance certifications. The Amphenol ICC parts carry REACH Affected status, while TE Connectivity lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 70236-101LF and 70236-103LF be used interchangeably with 5536627-1?

A: Yes, both Amphenol ICC parts are functionally equivalent substitutes. They share identical position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting type, contact layout, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The primary difference is termination method: press-fit versus solder.

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

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. They are both 8-position Blade Power headers with 0.236" pitch, press-fit termination, and identical compliance ratings. Part number variations typically indicate internal manufacturing or inventory tracking differences.

Q: Does the change from solder to press-fit termination affect PCB design?

A: Press-fit termination requires through-hole PCB pads compatible with press-fit contact insertion. Solder termination uses standard through-hole pads for wave or reflow soldering. PCB pad diameter and hole specifications must be verified against the specific connector datasheet before substitution.

Q: Are there voltage or current limitations when substituting these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5536627-1 specifies 30V voltage rating. The Amphenol ICC substitutes do not provide voltage rating specifications in the available data. The Amphenol ICC parts specify 3A current rating, while the TE Connectivity part does not provide current rating data. Applications with specific voltage or current requirements should reference complete manufacturer datasheets.

Q: What is the significance of the Blade Power connector style versus Futurebus?

A: Both styles accommodate 8-position, 4-row configurations with 0.236" pitch spacing. Blade Power and Futurebus represent different connector family designations from their respective manufacturers. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained across these style designations for this specific position and pitch configuration.

Q: Are all three parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, all three parts are supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and standard component handling.
