Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5-569530-2 is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug configuration
• Contact configuration: 8P8C (RJ45, Ethernet) standard
• Shielding: Shielded design
• Termination: IDC method
• Housing material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Color: Translucent - Clear

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Cable type compatibility: Round cable with solid or stranded wire support
• Wire gauge range: 24-26 AWG
• Physical dimensions: Length within acceptable tolerance
• Contact material composition
• Shield material type

The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 satisfies all primary substitution criteria and maintains compatibility across secondary factors, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring shielded 8P8C modular plug connectors with IDC termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5-569530-2. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The TE Connectivity 5-569530-2 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain constraints. The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 maintains active product status with substantial inventory availability (67,681 pieces in stock), ensuring reliable procurement for ongoing applications.

Compliance and Certification: The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The TE Connectivity original part lacks defined compliance documentation.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical core specifications for 8P8C modular plug configuration, shielded design, IDC termination, and polycarbonate housing. Contact finish specifications (gold plating at 50.0µin thickness) are identical.

Cable Compatibility Enhancement: The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 supports both solid and stranded wire configurations, providing expanded cable type compatibility compared to the original part specification of solid wires only.

Physical Dimensions: The length differential of 0.018" (0.46mm) between the original part (0.915") and substitute (0.897") falls within standard mechanical tolerance ranges for modular connector applications and does not impact functional performance or installation compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 directly replace the TE Connectivity 5-569530-2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 8P8C (RJ45, Ethernet) contact configurations, shielded design, IDC termination method, and polycarbonate housing. The minor length difference (0.018") does not affect functional compatibility or installation procedures.

Q: What is the significance of the cable type difference between the original part and substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-569530-2 specifies solid wire support, while the Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 supports both solid and stranded wires. This represents an enhancement in the substitute part, expanding application flexibility without compromising compatibility with solid wire cables.

Q: How do the contact materials differ between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity original uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the Stewart Connector substitute uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are terminated with identical gold plating thickness (50.0µin/1.27µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the significance of the shield material difference?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-569530-2 uses copper alloy shielding, while the Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 uses brass shielding. Both materials provide equivalent electromagnetic shielding performance for Cat5/Cat5e Ethernet applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, meeting current regulatory standards. The TE Connectivity original part has undefined compliance status. For new installations or systems requiring current regulatory compliance documentation, the Stewart Connector substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: What wire gauge specifications apply to the Stewart Connector substitute?

A: The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 does not specify wire gauge in the provided documentation. However, as a Cat5e-rated 8P8C modular plug connector with IDC termination, it accommodates standard Ethernet cable wire gauges consistent with the original part's 24-26 AWG specification.

Q: How does the Cat5 rating of the original part compare to the Cat5e rating of the substitute?

A: The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 carries Cat5e certification, which represents an enhancement over the original Cat5 rating. Cat5e connectors maintain backward compatibility with Cat5 applications while supporting higher performance standards.

Q: What is the inventory status for procurement purposes?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-569530-2 is obsolete with limited remaining stock. The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 is an active product with 67,681 pieces in stock, ensuring reliable availability for immediate and ongoing procurement requirements.
