TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 145090-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 145090-6 is a 60-position female card edge connector with dual read-out configuration, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. This connector is designed for through-hole solder termination with board lock features and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

The 145090-6 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support, maintenance, and procurement. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility without design modification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 145090-6 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain:

• Identical position count (60 positions)
• Identical pitch specification (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Identical gender configuration (Female)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows, dual edge read-out)
• Identical card thickness tolerance (0.054" ~ 0.070")
• Identical contact material and finish specifications (Phosphor Bronze with 30.0µin gold plating)
• Identical mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Solder, Staggered)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C)
• Identical insulation material (Polyphenylene Sulfide)
• Identical board lock feature

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute lies in product status and regulatory compliance, not in functional or mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5145090-6 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 145090-6 model. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters.

The 5145090-6 is the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status. This part maintains full compatibility with existing 145090-6 applications without requiring circuit board redesign or connector footprint modification.

The 5145090-6 provides enhanced regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status, addressing modern environmental and supply chain requirements. The 145090-6, classified as RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, presents regulatory constraints for applications subject to these standards.

Both parts share identical electrical performance characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and thermal operating specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on product availability, regulatory requirements applicable to the end application, and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5145090-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 145090-6 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5145090-6 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 145090-6. No circuit board modifications, connector footprint changes, or design alterations are required. The parts are pin-for-pin and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 145090-6 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5145090-6 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the 145090-6 and 5145090-6?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), feature the same contact material and finish specifications, and maintain identical electrical characteristics. Performance is equivalent.

Q: What card thickness range is compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors accommodate card thicknesses between 0.054" and 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm). Cards outside this tolerance range will not seat properly.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both the 145090-6 and 5145090-6 feature a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contact positions.

Q: How many contact positions are provided in these connectors?

A: Both connectors provide 60 contact positions arranged in 2 rows with dual edge read-out configuration.

Q: What termination method is used for these connectors?

A: Both parts utilize solder termination with staggered contact arrangement for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: What contact material and finish are specified for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating at a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact.
