CP2-SC055-1-TG30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CP2-SC055-1-TG30 is a 55-position receptacle connector with female sockets manufactured by 3M as part of the MetPak™ CP2 series. This connector features a 2.00mm pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and press-fit termination for CompactPCI applications. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and legacy equipment support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CP2-SC055-1-TG30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 55 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) spacing
• Connector Configuration: Receptacle with female sockets, 5-row arrangement
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole right-angle mounting with press-fit termination
• Electrical Properties: Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness and matching temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Connector Style: C 11 designation

The substitute part 5100161-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Z-PACK series) meets all these critical parameters. While the substitute includes additional specifications (1.5A current rating, 500Vrms voltage rating) not provided for the original part, these represent enhanced capabilities that ensure compatibility. The primary distinction is the board edge mounting feature on the substitute, which provides additional mechanical stability while maintaining functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5100161-1 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete CP2-SC055-1-TG30. Selection is based on:

• Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical position count, pitch, row configuration, and press-fit termination across the specified temperature range.
• Product Status: The substitute is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance: The 5100161-1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting modern regulatory requirements for electronic components.
• Electrical Specifications: The substitute provides rated electrical performance (1.5A, 500Vrms) that exceeds the original part's operational envelope.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Board edge mounting on the substitute provides enhanced mechanical stability while preserving through-hole right-angle installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5100161-1 directly replace the CP2-SC055-1-TG30 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (55), pitch (2.00mm), row configuration (5), connector style (C 11), and press-fit termination. Operating temperature ranges are equivalent (-55°C ~ 125°C). The board edge feature on the substitute provides additional mechanical support without affecting functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the board edge mounting feature on the substitute?

A: Board edge mounting provides additional mechanical stability and alignment during installation. This feature does not compromise compatibility with existing mating connectors or PCB layouts designed for the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The original part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute (5100161-1) is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The 5100161-1 is ROHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting current environmental and handling requirements. The original part's compliance status is not documented.

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

A: The CP2-SC055-1-TG30 has 1067 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The substitute 5100161-1 has 1664 pieces in stock. Both are available for immediate procurement.
