TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658624-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658624-5 is a 24 position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. This connector is designed for ribbon cable applications and features a forked contact design with gold or gold-palladium plating. The part is currently active in production and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring reliable interconnection solutions.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the connector footprint, pitch, contact configuration, and termination method are identical.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1658624-5 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• 24 position configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• 2-row arrangement with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• IDC cable termination method
• Ribbon cable wire type
• Gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Receptacle connector type

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Free hanging (in-line) mounting orientation
• Polarizing key feature for correct orientation
• Feed through or closed end configuration

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS compliance status
• MSL 1 rating (unlimited moisture sensitivity)

All three substitute parts meet these core parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part in applications requiring 24-position IDC ribbon cable receptacle connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status and full compliance certifications. Selection between the main part and substitutes is based on availability, packaging format, and specific feature requirements:

TE Connectivity 1658624-5: Primary specification part. Packaged in tube format. Forked contact design. Inventory: 638 pieces.

3M 3626-6624: Feed through configuration with strain relief. Packaged in bulk format. Female socket contact type. Inventory: 1202 pieces.

3M 3626-7624: Closed end configuration with strain relief. Packaged in bulk format. Female socket contact type. Inventory: 1185 pieces.

3M 89124-0103: Feed through configuration with strain relief. Packaged in bulk format. Female socket contact type. ROHS3 compliant. Inventory: 13095 pieces.

All parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 24-position IDC ribbon cable receptacle applications. The 3M 89124-0103 offers the highest inventory availability and ROHS3 compliance status. Selection should prioritize application-specific feature requirements (feed through versus closed end) and packaging preferences (tube versus bulk).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 3626-6624 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1658624-5?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 24 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, IDC termination, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and polarizing key features. The primary difference is packaging format (bulk versus tube) and contact type designation (female socket versus forked).

Q: What is the difference between the 3M 3626-6624 and 3626-7624?

A: Both are 3M 3000 series 24-position IDC receptacle connectors with identical electrical specifications. The primary distinction is the end configuration: 3626-6624 features a feed through design, while 3626-7624 features a closed end design. Both include strain relief and polarizing keys.

Q: Is the 3M 89124-0103 compatible with the original TE Connectivity part?

A: Yes. The 89124-0103 meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. It is a 24-position IDC receptacle connector with 0.100" pitch, 2-row spacing, gold contact finish, and polarizing key. The 89124-0103 is ROHS3 compliant and offers feed through configuration with strain relief.

Q: Does wire gauge specification affect substitution eligibility?

A: The substitute parts specify 26-28 AWG wire gauge compatibility, while the main part does not specify wire gauge. This does not prevent substitution, as the IDC termination method and ribbon cable type remain identical. Wire gauge compatibility should be verified against the specific ribbon cable used in the application.

Q: What does "feed through" versus "closed end" mean?

A: Feed through connectors allow ribbon cable to pass through the connector body, enabling daisy-chain or multi-point connections. Closed end connectors terminate the ribbon cable at the connector, preventing pass-through. Selection depends on the specific circuit board layout and interconnection topology.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1658624-5 is RoHS compliant. The 3M 3626-6624 and 3626-7624 are RoHS compliant. The 3M 89124-0103 is ROHS3 compliant, which represents an updated RoHS standard. All parts meet current environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. All four parts carry MSL 1 rating, meaning they do not require special storage conditions or baking procedures prior to assembly.
