Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 6367558-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets and blade sockets
• Number of positions: 134
• Connector style: High speed
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, right angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact layout: 64 differential pairs, 64 signal ground, 6 utility positions
• Contact finish specification: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Integrated features: Board lock and mating guide
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 85°C
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Series designation: Z-DOK+

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in product status (active versus obsolete) do not affect functional compatibility when all electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 6367558-1 is a direct functional equivalent to the 6367558-3. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector architecture, contact configuration, termination method, and environmental ratings.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 6367558-3 is classified as obsolete, while the 6367558-1 maintains active status. For new designs and ongoing system support, the 6367558-1 is the appropriate selection, as it ensures continued availability and manufacturer support.

Both parts maintain full compliance with RoHS directives. The 6367558-1 carries RoHS Compliant designation, while the 6367558-3 carries ROHS3 Compliant designation. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.

The identical contact layout (64 differential pairs, 64 signal ground, 6 utility positions), gold plating specification, and high-speed connector architecture ensure that the 6367558-1 provides equivalent signal integrity and performance characteristics for backplane applications requiring 134-position connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6367558-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 6367558-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6367558-1 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including connector type, position count, contact layout, mounting configuration, and environmental ratings. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the different product status designations?

A: The 6367558-3 is classified as obsolete, indicating that TE Connectivity has discontinued active production and support. The 6367558-1 maintains active status, ensuring ongoing availability, manufacturer support, and compliance with current standards. For new designs and long-term system support, the active part number is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there differences in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 6367558-3 carries ROHS3 Compliant designation, while the 6367558-1 carries RoHS Compliant designation. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements and do not affect functional compatibility or compliance status.

Q: What connector specifications must remain identical for substitution?

A: Substitution requires identical specifications across connector type, number of positions (134), connector style (high speed), mounting type (through hole, right angle), termination method (solder), contact layout (64 differential pairs, 64 signal ground, 6 utility), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). All these parameters are identical between the 6367558-3 and 6367558-1.

Q: What is the contact layout configuration for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 134 positions arranged as 64 differential pairs for high-speed signal transmission, 64 signal ground positions for return paths, and 6 utility positions for additional functions. This configuration is standard across both part numbers.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The 6367558-1 currently has 748 pieces in stock, while the 6367558-3 has 683 pieces available. For new procurement, the 6367558-1 is the recommended selection due to its active status and continued availability.
