Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 2-406549-2 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1116075-2 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 2-406549-2 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The 1116075-2 is classified as obsolete, making the substitute necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 2-406549-2 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The main part 1116075-2 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status, presenting compliance risks for new designs and applications subject to environmental regulations.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination type, and operating temperature range. The addition of EMI finger shielding in the substitute provides enhanced electromagnetic interference protection without compromising backward compatibility.

Packaging and Availability: The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging with 2833 pieces in current inventory, compared to the main part with 880 pieces in stock. The active status of the substitute ensures long-term component availability for production planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-406549-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 1116075-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2-406549-2 maintains electrical and mechanical equivalence across all core parameters including connector type, 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and Cat5 rating. Both parts are compatible with identical PCB layouts and mating components.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes of these two parts?

A: The main part 1116075-2 features tin-lead contact finish at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness. The substitute part 2-406549-2 features gold contact finish at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to tin-lead, making it suitable for long-term field deployment.

Q: Does the EMI finger shielding on the 2-406549-2 affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. The EMI finger shielding is an enhancement that does not alter the mechanical footprint, mounting interface, or solder pad configuration. The part maintains identical through-hole mounting and board guide features.

Q: Why is the main part 1116075-2 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1116075-2 is no longer in active production. The TE Connectivity 2-406549-2 represents the current active equivalent in the product line, offering improved regulatory compliance and enhanced shielding performance.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental operating differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and share the same thermoplastic housing material and phosphor bronze contact material, ensuring equivalent performance in comparable environmental conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 compliance on the substitute part?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates that the 2-406549-2 meets current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. This is essential for applications subject to environmental compliance requirements. The main part 1116075-2 is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict its use in regulated markets.

Q: Can the 2-406549-2 be used in applications where the 1116075-2 was previously specified?

A: Yes. The substitute part is functionally equivalent and maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The enhanced contact finish and EMI shielding represent improvements that do not compromise compatibility with existing system designs or mating components.
