Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AYF533265 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 32
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Connector/Contact Type: Contacts, Top and Bottom
• Voltage Rating: 50V
• Current Rating: 0.5A per Contact
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 85°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Locking Feature: Flip Lock, Backlock
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Mating Cycles: 20
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The AYF533265T qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and product status (Active versus Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AYF533265T is the direct equivalent for the obsolete AYF533265. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental ratings. The primary distinction is product status: AYF533265T is currently active and available through standard distribution channels, whereas AYF533265 is obsolete.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this connector type, AYF533265T is the appropriate selection. The Tape & Reel packaging of AYF533265T is standard for automated assembly processes and provides equivalent functionality to the bulk-packaged AYF533265.

The AYF533265T carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AYF533265T be used as a direct replacement for AYF533265?

A: Yes. The AYF533265T is electrically and mechanically identical to the AYF533265. Both connectors feature 32 positions, 0.5mm pitch, surface mount right-angle configuration, 50V rating, 0.5A per contact current capacity, and identical locking mechanisms. The primary difference is packaging format and product availability status.

Q: What is the difference between the bulk and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Bulk packaging (AYF533265) is suitable for manual assembly or small-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging (AYF533265T) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and is the standard format for high-volume production. Both formats contain the same connector component.

Q: Is AYF533265T RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. AYF533265T is RoHS compliant. RoHS compliance status for the original AYF533265 is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting AYF533265 with AYF533265T?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The connectors are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. PCB footprints, mating interfaces, and performance characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the current availability of these parts?

A: AYF533265 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. AYF533265T is active and available through standard distribution channels, making it the recommended choice for current procurement.
