Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 555154-1 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and contact configuration (6p6c jack modular)
• Orientation and mounting geometry (90° right-angle, through-hole)
• Electrical ratings and shielding characteristics (Cat3, shielded)
• Contact material and finish specifications (phosphor bronze with gold plating)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Termination method (solder)
• Physical features (board lock, panel stops, down tab direction)

The substitute part 5555154-1 meets all these criteria, providing functional and mechanical interchangeability with the original 555154-1 while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5555154-1 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 555154-1. Selection of the substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 555154-1 is classified as obsolete, limiting long-term availability and supply chain reliability. The 5555154-1 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued procurement capability and manufacturing support.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5555154-1 is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The original 555154-1 is RoHS Non-Compliant, which may present compliance challenges in applications subject to RoHS directives.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, contact specifications, and operational characteristics are identical between the two parts. The 5555154-1 provides complete functional interchangeability without design modification.

Packaging Consideration: The 5555154-1 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production components. This packaging format supports efficient handling and integration into manufacturing workflows.
