Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 5558067-1

The 5558067-1 is the direct functional equivalent to the 558067-1 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection of 5558067-1 is appropriate for the following conditions:

Product Status Consideration: The 558067-1 is classified as obsolete, while 5558067-1 maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production, 5558067-1 provides assured supply continuity and manufacturer support.

Compliance Consideration: The 5558067-1 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the 558067-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must utilize 5558067-1. For legacy systems or applications without RoHS mandates, either part satisfies the electrical and mechanical specifications.

Packaging Consideration: The 5558067-1 is supplied in tray packaging, which differs from the unspecified packaging of the 558067-1. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management protocols.

Inventory Availability: The 5558067-1 maintains higher inventory levels (6314 pieces) compared to the 558067-1 (968 pieces), supporting extended production schedules and supply chain resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5558067-1 be used as a direct replacement for 558067-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5558067-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, pin configuration (10p10c/RJ50), orientation (90° right-angle), shielding, termination method, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between 558067-1 and 5558067-1?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus compliant), and packaging format (unspecified versus tray). All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts deliver identical electrical characteristics and Cat3 ratings. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not a performance specification.

Q: Is the housing material difference between the two parts significant?

A: The housing material specifications are equivalent. The 558067-1 lists "Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT), Polyester" while 5558067-1 lists "Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT)." Both utilize PCT as the primary housing material, which provides the same mechanical and thermal properties.

Q: What packaging format should be selected for production assembly?

A: The 5558067-1 is supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. Packaging selection should align with your assembly equipment capabilities and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations that differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and maintain the same moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Environmental performance is equivalent.

Q: Can 558067-1 be used in new designs?

A: The 558067-1 is classified as obsolete. For new designs, 5558067-1 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term supply availability, manufacturer support, and compliance with current regulatory requirements.
