TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-569532-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-569532-2 is a shielded modular plug connector with 8 positions and 8 contacts (8P8C/RJ45 Ethernet configuration). This connector is designed for round cable applications with stranded wires and features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5-569532-2 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8P8C (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Shielding: Shielded
• Termination Method: IDC
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Cable Configuration: Round Cable compatibility

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (main part) to Copper Alloy (substitute) — both materials support gold plating and IDC termination
• Cable Wire Type: Stranded Wires (main part) to Solid or Stranded Wires (substitute) — substitute accommodates both configurations
• Ratings: Cat5 (main part) to Cat5e (substitute) — Cat5e is backward compatible with Cat5 applications
• Shield Material: Copper Alloy (main part) to Brass (substitute) — both provide equivalent shielding performance
• Length: 0.915" (main part) to 0.897" (substitute) — within acceptable tolerance for modular connector plug applications

The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 meets all mandatory parameters and operates within allowable variations for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Stewart Connector SS-37200-028

The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 is the direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5-569532-2. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status Alignment: The main part is classified as obsolete, while the substitute maintains active product status with current manufacturing and availability (67,681 pieces in stock). This ensures long-term procurement viability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certification: The substitute part holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The main part lists RoHS status as not applicable and REACH status as vendor undefined, indicating the substitute provides superior compliance documentation for modern applications.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 8P8C RJ45 Ethernet plug configuration, shielded design, IDC termination, polycarbonate housing, and gold-plated contacts at identical thickness (50.0µin). The substitute's Cat5e rating is backward compatible with Cat5 applications, providing enhanced performance capability.

Physical and Electrical Compatibility: The substitute accommodates both solid and stranded wire configurations, providing greater flexibility than the main part's stranded-wire specification. The 0.018" (0.46mm) length difference falls within acceptable tolerance for modular connector plug applications and does not affect mating or installation characteristics.

Material Specifications: Contact material variation (Phosphor Bronze to Copper Alloy) and shield material variation (Copper Alloy to Brass) represent equivalent substitutions. Both material combinations support the specified gold plating, IDC termination process, and shielding performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 directly replace the TE Connectivity 5-569532-2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 8P8C RJ45 Ethernet shielded plugs with IDC termination, identical contact finish specifications, and compatible housing materials. The substitute's Cat5e rating provides backward compatibility with Cat5 systems. The 0.018" length difference does not affect mating or installation.

Q: What is the significance of the Cat5e rating on the substitute compared to the Cat5 rating on the main part?

A: Cat5e represents an enhanced specification that maintains full backward compatibility with Cat5 applications. Cat5e connectors operate within all Cat5 performance parameters while providing additional performance margin. No system modifications are required when substituting Cat5e for Cat5.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between these connectors?

A: The main part uses Phosphor Bronze contacts while the substitute uses Copper Alloy contacts. Both materials are gold-plated to identical thickness (50.0µin) and are compatible with IDC termination. Both materials provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for this connector class.

Q: Does the substitute support both solid and stranded wire configurations?

A: Yes. The main part is specified for stranded wires (24-28 AWG). The substitute is specified for solid or stranded wires, providing greater flexibility for cable assembly applications. Both support the same wire gauge range.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 has 67,681 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The main part (TE Connectivity 5-569532-2) has 1,074 pieces available but is classified as obsolete. The substitute's active status and higher inventory level support reliable procurement.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The substitute holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification. The main part lists RoHS status as not applicable and REACH status as vendor undefined. For applications requiring current regulatory compliance documentation, the substitute provides superior certification status.

Q: What is the packaging configuration for the substitute part?

A: The Stewart Connector SS-37200-028 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume assembly operations and component procurement workflows.
