Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5553813-3 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 553813-3. Selection of the substitute part is supported by complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across all critical connector specifications. The substitute part offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. For applications subject to RoHS3 compliance requirements, the 5553813-3 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems or applications with explicit RoHS exemptions, either part satisfies the functional requirements; however, the active status of 5553813-3 provides superior long-term supply assurance. Both parts maintain identical contact finish specifications, shielding characteristics, and mounting configurations, ensuring direct interchangeability in panel mount, through-hole solder applications.
