Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 554348-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), position count (36), row configuration (2), mounting methodology (panel mount), termination technology (IDC), connector style (outer shroud contacts), series designation (CHAMP .085), contact finish (gold), and shielded feature. The substitute part 5554348-1 maintains full compatibility across all these parameters, differing only in product status (active versus obsolete), packaging configuration (tray), compliance certifications (RoHS3 compliant versus non-compliant), and contact finish thickness specification (30.0µin/0.76µm provided).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5554348-1 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 554348-1. Selection of the 5554348-1 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 5554348-1 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 554348-1 is classified as obsolete.

Compliance Certifications: The 5554348-1 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The 554348-1 is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, and contact finish material.

Packaging: The 5554348-1 is supplied in tray packaging, which may require evaluation against existing procurement and assembly workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 554348-1 and 5554348-1 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical specifications for connector type (receptacle), position count (36), row configuration (2), mounting type (panel mount), termination method (IDC), connector style (outer shroud contacts), series designation (CHAMP .085), contact finish (gold), and shielded feature. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 5554348-1 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 554348-1. The 5554348-1 offers ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the 554348-1 is RoHS non-compliant. The 5554348-1 is supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Does the 5554348-1 provide contact finish thickness specification?

A: Yes. The 5554348-1 specifies contact finish thickness at 30.0µin (0.76µm). The 554348-1 does not provide contact finish thickness data.

Q: Are there any feature differences between the two parts?

A: The 554348-1 lists both bail lock and shielded features, while the 5554348-1 lists shielded feature. Both parts maintain the shielded characteristic required for EMI protection.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both the 554348-1 and 5554348-1 are classified at MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can the 5554348-1 be used in applications previously designed for the 554348-1?

A: Yes. The 5554348-1 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 554348-1 across all specified parameters. The enhanced compliance certifications of the 5554348-1 make it suitable for applications with regulatory requirements.
