Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-499997-2 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 1-1658620-2 maintains identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, termination method, wire gauge range, contact geometry, and contact finish. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMP-Latch series and are designed for identical ribbon cable applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The original part 1-499997-2 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute 1-1658620-2 is active and ROHS3 compliant. This substitution is valid for applications requiring continued component availability and regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-1658620-2 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 1-499997-2. Selection of the substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The original part is classified as obsolete, limiting future availability and support. The substitute maintains active status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued supply and technical support.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 1-1658620-2 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations for electrical and electronic equipment. The original part is RoHS non-compliant and does not satisfy modern procurement requirements in regulated markets.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts are identical across all functional parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, termination method, and wire gauge specifications. Direct substitution is valid without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Packaging: The substitute is supplied in Tube packaging, which is standard for production quantities and automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1658620-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-499997-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-1658620-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-499997-2 across all specified parameters. Both connectors feature identical 64-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, IDC termination for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable, and gold-plated forked contacts. Direct substitution requires no design modifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 1-499997-2?

A: The 1-499997-2 is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 1-1658620-2 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory adherence and long-term component availability.

Q: Are there any differences in connector dimensions or mating characteristics between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and contact geometry. Mating characteristics are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The packaging difference (unspecified for the original versus Tube for the substitute) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Tube packaging is standard for production environments and does not impact connector functionality.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the substitute connector?

A: The 1-1658620-2 supports 26-28 AWG ribbon cable, identical to the original part. IDC termination is compatible with this wire gauge range.

Q: Is the contact finish specification identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold contact finish with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for the substitute part?

A: The 1-1658620-2 has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.
