Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 95672-001ALF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Must be jack connector with 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contacts
• Physical Orientation & Mounting: Must maintain 90° right-angle orientation with through-hole solder termination
• Shielding & Electrical Performance: Must be shielded to maintain EMI protection; Cat5 or higher rating acceptable
• Mechanical Features: Must include board lock functionality; tab direction must be down
• Environmental Compliance: Must support operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity requirements

The substitute part SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 from Stewart Connector meets all critical substitution criteria. This part maintains functional and mechanical equivalence while offering enhanced specifications in certain areas.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 95672-001ALF. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical jack configuration, 8p8c contact arrangement, 90° right-angle orientation, and through-hole solder termination. Mechanical compatibility is assured through matching tab direction and board lock features.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part provides Cat5e rating, which exceeds the Cat5 specification of the original part, ensuring backward compatibility and enhanced bandwidth capability. Shielding is maintained in both designs for equivalent EMI protection.

Environmental Compliance: The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) provides broader environmental tolerance compared to the original specification (-40°C ~ 70°C).

Contact Durability: The substitute part features increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 30.0µin), providing enhanced wear resistance and extended service life in solder termination applications.

Availability: The substitute part maintains active product status with confirmed inventory, ensuring reliable sourcing for replacement and new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 be used as a direct replacement for 95672-001ALF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interfaces. The 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, 8p8c contact configuration, and board lock features are equivalent. The substitute part's Cat5e rating is backward compatible with Cat5 applications.

Q: What is the difference between Cat5 and Cat5e ratings?

A: Cat5e provides enhanced bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared to Cat5, while maintaining full backward compatibility. Applications designed for Cat5 operate without modification when using Cat5e connectors.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the two parts?

A: The original part uses phosphor bronze contacts with 30.0µin gold finish; the substitute uses copper alloy contacts with 50.0µin gold finish. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The increased finish thickness on the substitute part enhances durability in solder termination applications.

Q: Does the substitute part include the filter feature of the original?

A: The substitute part includes board lock functionality but does not specify filter features. If filter functionality is critical to the application, this difference must be evaluated against system requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in the substitute part?

A: The substitute part operates from -40°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 70°C for the original. This extended range provides greater environmental tolerance and may be beneficial in applications subject to elevated temperature conditions.

Q: Are both parts moisture sensitive?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage practices apply to both connectors.
