• Number of Positions: 55
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 5
• Connector Type: Header, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Press-Fit
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Acceptable Variations:

• Contact Finish Thickness: Variations within gold plating specifications
• Connector Style: C 11 or CR 11 (both accommodate board guide feature)
• Voltage Rating: Equal to or greater than the original specification
• Current Rating: Equal to or greater than the original specification
• Product Status: Active parts are preferred for ongoing availability

The substitute parts listed below maintain all primary matching criteria while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 5188232-9 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

The 5188232-9 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the CP2-HC055-F2-G30 while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The Z-PACK series connector is suitable for backplane applications and provides 869 units in current inventory.

Secondary Recommendations: Amphenol ICC (FCI) Millipacs® Series

The HM2P09PDE3G0N9LF, HM2P09PDL3M0N9LF, and HM2P80PDL3F0N9LF are all active Amphenol ICC alternatives. These connectors provide enhanced voltage ratings (750Vrms versus 500Vrms for the TE part) and maintain full compatibility with the original specification. All three parts are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), supporting long-term availability and environmental compliance requirements.

Note on HM2P80PDL341N9LF:

This part features 77 positions (55 + 22 ground) and is not recommended as a direct substitute due to the increased position count and modified connector style (CR 11). This configuration is suitable only for applications requiring additional ground connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use HM2P80PDL341N9LF as a substitute for CP2-HC055-F2-G30?

A: No. While HM2P80PDL341N9LF shares the same pitch and mounting characteristics, it contains 77 positions instead of 55. This part is not a direct substitute and requires different mating connector configurations.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity 5188232-9 and the Amphenol ICC alternatives?

A: The primary difference is voltage rating. The TE part is rated at 500Vrms, while the Amphenol ICC parts are rated at 750Vrms. Both meet the operating temperature range and current requirements. Selection depends on system voltage specifications and long-term availability preferences.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All active substitute parts listed (5188232-9, HM2P09PDE3G0N9LF, HM2P09PDL3M0N9LF, and HM2P80PDL3F0N9LF) are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), supporting modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5188232-9 is supplied in Tube packaging. All Amphenol ICC alternatives are supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling and storage procedures.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters for the 55-position configuration, allowing interchangeability within the same design. Verify connector mating compatibility with your specific application.

Q: What is the current inventory status for substitute parts?

A: TE Connectivity 5188232-9: 869 units. HM2P09PDE3G0N9LF: 1013 units. HM2P09PDL3M0N9LF: 746 units. HM2P80PDL3F0N9LF: 847 units. All parts are listed as new original stock.
