Sourcing and Compliance Reality
The 1-535512-8: If your assembly requires full RoHS exemption documentation, confirm with your compliance team before committing the BOM line.
How This Compares to the 1376775-2 Sibling
The 1376775-2 is a 5-position receptacle in the same AMPMODU Mod II family, also with gold mating contacts and a black glass-filled thermoplastic housing. The key difference for a buyer cross-shopping: the 1-535512-8 carries 16 positions vs 5, uses phosphor bronze contacts vs copper alloy, and has thicker gold on the mating face (30.0µin vs 8.00µin) — better suited for higher-cycle applications. Both are active, but the 1-535512-8 is RoHS non-compliant while the 1376775-2 carries tin post plating with no lead flag. If you need a drop-in for a 5-position board position, the 1376775-2 is a cleaner compliance fit; for 16 positions, the 1-535512-8 is the only direct match in this series.
Termination is solder-only — the through-hole posts accept wave or hand soldering. No crimp or press-fit option on this receptacle; the square contact shape (0.025" square typical for Mod II) mates with standard 0.025" square header pins. The mating header is any AMPMODU Mod II or compatible 0.100" pitch dual-row pin header with 0.025" square posts, 16 positions, straight or right-angle — confirm the header's post length clears the 0.238" insulation height when mated.
