TE Connectivity 1489930-2 Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1489930-2 is a 62-position (61 loaded) female card edge connector from the Standard Edge II series. This dual-edge connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and accommodates card thicknesses between 0.054" and 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The connector features gold-plated copper alloy contacts, board lock and latches, and is rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 85°C. The part is currently active in production with 1076 pieces in stock. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when the original part becomes unavailable, when alternative compliance certifications are required, or when packaging specifications differ from application requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1489930-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: position count (62 positions with 61 loaded), pitch spacing (0.100"), dual-edge card configuration, number of rows (2), card thickness accommodation (0.054" to 0.070"), gender (female), contact material (copper alloy), contact finish (gold at 15.0µin), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and insulation material (polyester, glass filled).

The substitute part 6489930-2 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part across all these parameters. Both connectors are from the Standard Edge II series and support the same dual read-out configuration. Differences between the parts are limited to packaging format (tube versus unspecified), RoHS compliance status, REACH classification, and specific HTSUS codes. These differences do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the connector specifications are met.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1489930-2 and 6489930-2 are active production parts from TE Connectivity's Standard Edge II connector series and are electrically and mechanically equivalent for applications requiring 62-position dual-edge female card edge connectors at 0.100" pitch.

The 6489930-2 substitute part offers improved regulatory compliance status. It is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, compared to the main part which is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. For applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH regulatory requirements, the 6489930-2 is the appropriate selection.

The main part 1489930-2 includes both board lock and latches as retention features, while the substitute 6489930-2 includes latches only. Applications requiring board lock functionality must use the 1489930-2.

Both parts support identical electrical performance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and maintain the same contact material, finish thickness, and solder termination specifications. Inventory availability differs, with 1240 pieces of the substitute available compared to 1076 pieces of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6489930-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 1489930-2 in all applications?

A: The 6489930-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1489930-2 across all critical connector parameters including position count, pitch, card thickness accommodation, contact material, and operating temperature range. However, the 1489930-2 includes a board lock feature that the 6489930-2 does not provide. Applications requiring board lock retention must use the 1489930-2.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: The 1489930-2 packaging is not specified in the product documentation. The 6489930-2 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality but may impact handling, storage, and ordering procedures.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 6489930-2 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 1489930-2 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. For applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH regulations, the 6489930-2 is required.

Q: Do both connectors support the same card thickness range?

A: Yes. Both the 1489930-2 and 6489930-2 accommodate card thicknesses between 0.054" and 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm).

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a finish thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm).

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both the 1489930-2 and 6489930-2 are active production parts from TE Connectivity.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing with 62 positions (61 loaded) arranged in 2 rows for dual-edge configuration.
