Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 70236-102 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 8-position header with male blades
• Pitch Specification: 0.236" (6.00mm) center-to-center spacing
• Row/Column Layout: 4-row arrangement matching contact geometry
• Mounting Method: Through-hole PCB mounting capability
• Termination Type: Press-fit contact system
• Contact Material: Gold plating for electrical reliability
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 classification

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5536622-1 satisfies all substitution criteria through equivalent mechanical footprint, electrical contact configuration, and environmental performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5536622-1 qualifies as a direct functional substitute based on complete alignment of mechanical and electrical parameters. The substitute part maintains identical connector geometry, contact configuration, and environmental performance specifications required for PCB-level integration.

The 5536622-1 offers improved compliance status, achieving RoHS Compliance compared to the non-compliant status of the original 70236-102. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. The substitute part additionally specifies a 30V voltage rating, providing explicit electrical performance documentation.

Both parts maintain Active product status with current inventory availability, supporting immediate procurement and deployment in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5536622-1 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 70236-102?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical footprint (8-position, 0.236" pitch, 4-row configuration), contact type (male blades), mounting method (through-hole), and termination system (press-fit). Environmental ratings and contact materials are equivalent, enabling direct PCB-level substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 5536622-1 achieves RoHS Compliance, whereas the 70236-102 is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute part also provides explicit voltage rating specification (30V) not documented in the original part. Both maintain identical current handling and temperature operating ranges.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layout or footprint?

A: No. Both parts feature identical pitch spacing (0.236" / 6.00mm), row configuration (4 rows), and through-hole mounting geometry. Existing PCB designs require no modification for substitution.

Q: How do the series designations (Metral® vs. Z-PACK) affect substitution?

A: Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization but does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility. The critical parameters—connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and contact configuration—are identical across both parts, ensuring functional equivalence.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 70236-102 maintains 986 units in stock; the 5536622-1 maintains 924 units in stock. Both parts carry Active product status with current availability for production deployment.
