Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 3-532955-1 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 66527-005. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for all critical mating and mounting parameters.

The TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The substitute part is RoHS compliant, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the original Amphenol ICC 66527-005 is RoHS non-compliant.

Minor variations exist in contact finish thickness and contact material composition. The TE Connectivity part features phosphor bronze contacts with reduced plating thickness compared to the brass contacts of the original part. These differences remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for board-to-board connector applications and do not affect functional compatibility or mating performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC 66527-005 and TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows), position count (10), mounting type (through-hole right angle), and contact geometry (square shape). They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these two connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC 66527-005 uses brass contacts, while the TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are suitable for push-pull connector applications and provide equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Does the difference in gold plating thickness affect compatibility?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC 66527-005 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) mating contact finish, while the TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 has 15.0µin (0.38µm). Both thicknesses provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for board-to-board mating cycles.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 suitable for automotive and industrial applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 is an active product with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. It is suitable for general-purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications. Specific automotive qualification requirements should be verified against application-specific standards.

Q: What is the significance of the "Guide Pin Ears" feature on the TE Connectivity part?

A: The guide pin ears are a mechanical feature that aids in connector alignment during mating. This feature does not affect electrical compatibility and enhances assembly reliability in board-to-board applications.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 be used as a direct replacement in legacy designs?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 3-532955-1 meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements for direct substitution. PCB footprints and mating interface dimensions are identical, allowing drop-in replacement without design modification.
