TE Connectivity 5-84534-7 FFC Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5-84534-7 is a 7-position flat flexible connector (FFC) designed for vertical through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. This connector features 1.25mm pitch contacts with kinked pin termination and is rated for 50V at 1A continuous current operation across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The connector is constructed with phosphor bronze contacts finished in tin and housed in white polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled material.

The part is currently in active production status with 1030 units in stock. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support procurement flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and ensure design compatibility across manufacturing batches and inventory sources.

• Current Rating: 1A
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Tin

Mechanical Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 7
• Pitch: 0.049" (1.25mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Connector/Contact Type: Contacts, Vertical - 1 Sided
• Height Above Board: 0.307" (7.80mm)
• FFC Thickness: 0.30mm
• Termination Type: Kinked Pin
• Cable End Type: Tapered
• Housing Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Housing Color: White

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts are classified as substitutes only when all parameters listed above match exactly. No deviations in electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, or material specifications are permitted for substitution classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 84534-7 is a direct parametric equivalent to the main part 5-84534-7. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Compliance Considerations:

The main part 5-84534-7 lists RoHS Status as "Not applicable," while the substitute part 84534-7 is marked as "RoHS Compliant." This difference indicates that the substitute part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive requirements, providing enhanced compliance for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage, handling, or assembly operations.

Inventory and Availability:

The main part 5-84534-7 has 1030 units in stock, while the substitute part 84534-7 has 923 units available. Both parts are in active production status and available for immediate procurement.

Selection Basis:

Component selection between these two equivalent parts should be based on compliance requirements specific to the end application. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the substitute part 84534-7 is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is suitable based on inventory availability and procurement lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the parts 5-84534-7 and 84534-7 interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (50V, 1A), mechanical dimensions (7 positions, 1.25mm pitch, 7.80mm height), contact materials (phosphor bronze with tin finish), and operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C). They are directly interchangeable in circuit board designs.

Q: What is the difference between 5-84534-7 and 84534-7?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The part 84534-7 is RoHS Compliant, while 5-84534-7 is marked as "Not applicable." All other electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use 84534-7 as a replacement for 5-84534-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part 84534-7 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part 5-84534-7. The RoHS compliance of the substitute part provides additional regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution of this FFC connector?

A: Critical parameters include: 7-position configuration, 1.25mm pitch, through-hole mounting, vertical 1-sided contact orientation, 50V voltage rating, 1A current rating, phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish, PBT glass-filled housing, 7.80mm height above board, 0.30mm FFC thickness, kinked pin termination, and tapered cable end type. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with these connectors?

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling, storage, or assembly precautions are required.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for this connector?
