Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the main part 554501-1 and the equivalent part 5554501-1 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the D-Sub receptacle connector category. Both parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Position count (24 positions in 2 rows)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Connector style (Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Shielding feature (Shielded)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Flange specification (Board Side 6-32)
• Series designation (CHAMP .085)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The primary differences between these parts are packaging format and regulatory compliance status. Part 5554501-1 is supplied in Tray packaging and carries RoHS3 compliance certification, whereas 554501-1 is non-compliant with RoHS requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between 554501-1 and 5554501-1 is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and packaging specifications.

Part 554501-1 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and standard packaging is acceptable. This part maintains Active product status and full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the substitute part.

Part 5554501-1 is required for applications subject to RoHS3 compliance regulations. This part carries REACH Unaffected certification and is supplied in Tray packaging. Higher inventory availability (2492 units) supports extended lead time requirements. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the D-Sub 24-position receptacle connector category.

Selection should be based on the regulatory environment of the end application and packaging requirements for assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 554501-1 and 5554501-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 24-position D-Sub receptacle connectors with identical electrical specifications, including contact finish, contact finish thickness, and shielding characteristics. They operate within the same CHAMP .085 series and support identical solder termination methods.

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

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and packaging format. Part 5554501-1 is RoHS3 compliant and supplied in Tray packaging, while 554501-1 is RoHS non-compliant with unspecified packaging.

Q: Can 554501-1 be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. Part 554501-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use part 5554501-1, which carries RoHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are the mechanical mounting specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical panel mount, through-hole configurations with board-side flange features (6-32). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB assembly applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Does packaging affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tray for 5554501-1 versus unspecified for 554501-1) affects only logistics and assembly handling. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, use 5554501-1. For applications without RoHS mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability and packaging requirements.
