Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 557572-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (Jack), contact configuration (8p8c RJ45 Ethernet), port count (6), right-angle orientation (90°), through-hole mounting, solder termination, shielded design, and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C).

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalent (Active Status): Part 5557572-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part, with the primary distinction being active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part represents the direct replacement path.

Functional Equivalents (Active Status): Parts 0432238164 (Molex), 74839-0063 (Amphenol ICC/FCI), and 09562527613 (HARTING) satisfy the core functional requirements of 8p8c jack connector configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature. These parts maintain compatibility with the primary electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

Note: Part 09562527613 is categorized as a D-Sub connector and does not share the modular connector category; however, it is included in the provided substitute list and should be evaluated based on application-specific requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5557572-1

Part 5557572-1 is the recommended direct replacement for the obsolete 557572-1. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 8p8c jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design, phosphor bronze contacts with 50.0µin gold finish, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. The primary advantages are active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Inventory availability is confirmed at 762 pieces.

Secondary Recommendations: Molex 0432238164 and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 74839-0063

Parts 0432238164 and 74839-0063 function as equivalent modular connectors with 8p8c jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and shielded design. Both parts maintain active product status and support the same operating temperature range. Part 0432238164 includes EMI finger shielding and ROHS3 compliance. Part 74839-0063 includes EMI finger shielding but carries RoHS non-compliant status. Contact finish thickness differs: 0432238164 maintains 50.0µin (1.27µm) specification, while 74839-0063 specifies 5.00µin (0.127µm). These parts are suitable for applications where modular connector form factor is required and minor design variations are acceptable.

Not Recommended: HARTING 09562527613

Part 09562527613 is a 26-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector and does not share the modular connector category or 8p8c contact configuration with the main part. This part is fundamentally incompatible with applications requiring RJ45 Ethernet modular connector interfaces and should not be selected as a substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5557572-1 be used as a direct replacement for 557572-1?

A: Yes. Part 5557572-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to 557572-1, including 8p8c jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design, phosphor bronze contacts with 50.0µin gold finish, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. The primary differences are active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between 0432238164 and 74839-0063?

A: Both parts are 8p8c modular jack connectors with 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and shielded design. Key differences include: manufacturer (Molex vs. Amphenol ICC/FCI), housing material (polyamide glass-filled vs. thermoplastic), contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 5.00µin), RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 compliant vs. non-compliant), and packaging (tray vs. bulk). Part 0432238164 includes board lock feature; part 74839-0063 includes board guide feature.

Q: Why is HARTING 09562527613 listed as a substitute?

A: Part 09562527613 is included in the provided substitute list but is not functionally equivalent. This part is a 26-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector and does not share the modular connector category or 8p8c contact configuration. It should not be selected for applications requiring RJ45 Ethernet modular connector interfaces.

Q: What are the packaging differences among the substitute parts?

A: Part 5557572-1 is supplied in tray packaging. Part 0432238164 is supplied in tray packaging. Part 74839-0063 is supplied in bulk packaging. Part 09562527613 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement, handling, and storage requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for the same operating temperature range?

A: Parts 5557572-1, 0432238164, and 09562527613 are rated for -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range, matching the main part specification. Part 74839-0063 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: The main part and parts 5557572-1 and 0432238164 specify 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold contact finish thickness. Part 74839-0063 specifies 5.00µin (0.127µm) gold contact finish thickness. Contact finish thickness affects contact durability, wear resistance, and long-term reliability in mating cycles. The thicker finish (50.0µin) provides enhanced durability for high-cycle applications.

Q: Which substitute parts have RoHS compliance?

A: Parts 5557572-1, 0432238164, and 09562527613 are ROHS3 compliant. The main part 557572-1 and part 74839-0063 are RoHS non-compliant. RoHS compliance status is relevant for applications subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications.

Q: What is the difference between board guide and board lock features?

A: Board guide feature (present on 557572-1 and 74839-0063) provides alignment support during connector mating. Board lock feature (present on 0432238164) provides mechanical retention of the connector to the printed circuit board. Feature selection depends on application-specific mechanical requirements.
