TE Connectivity 1-828588-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-828588-6 is a rectangular connector header, vertical orientation, 16-position, 2.54mm pitch, designed for through-hole mounting with solder termination. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The connector features shrouded 4-wall construction with latch lock/eject hooks and is suitable for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-828588-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 16 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall construction with latch lock/eject hooks
• Style: Board-to-cable/wire interface

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters while offering active product status and improved availability. Variations in contact geometry (circular vs. square), contact length dimensions, insulation height, and contact finish thickness are secondary parameters that do not preclude functional substitution when the primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5499160-3 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 1-828588-6. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMP-Latch series, ensuring design continuity and compatibility. The 5499160-3 holds active product status with superior inventory availability (2800 units in stock). This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries a current rating specification of 1A with operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, providing enhanced environmental documentation compared to the original part. The contact geometry differs (square vs. circular), but this does not affect functional substitution for standard board-to-cable applications.

Amphenol ICC 71980-116LF serves as a secondary substitute from an alternative manufacturer. This part operates within the Quickie™ series and maintains active product status with 942 units in stock. The 71980-116LF is RoHS compliant and features phosphor bronze contacts with kinked pin termination, offering robust mechanical performance. The insulation height is greater (0.685" vs. 0.543"), which may require PCB layout verification in space-constrained applications. This option is suitable for designs requiring multi-source qualification or when TE Connectivity parts are unavailable.

Both substitute parts satisfy the core functional requirements of the 1-828588-6 and are recommended for new design implementations and production transitions from the obsolete component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5499160-3 directly replace the 1-828588-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (16), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), and shrouding (4-wall). The contact shape difference (square vs. circular) does not affect mating compatibility with standard 2.54mm pitch receptacles.

Q: What is the significance of the "Short" fastening type designation on the 5499160-3?

A: The 5499160-3 features short latch lock/eject hooks compared to the standard configuration. This affects the mechanical engagement depth with mating receptacles but does not compromise functional compatibility when used with standard AMP-Latch or equivalent receptacle series.

Q: Are there dimensional constraints when substituting the 71980-116LF?

A: The 71980-116LF has an insulation height of 0.685" compared to 0.543" on the 1-828588-6. This 0.142" difference requires verification of PCB clearance and component spacing in designs with tight vertical constraints. The kinked pin termination also affects solder joint geometry and may require process parameter adjustment.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best compliance documentation?

A: The 5499160-3 provides the most comprehensive environmental specifications, including ROHS3 compliance, operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), current rating (1A), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The 71980-116LF provides RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 rating but does not specify operating temperature or current rating.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The 5499160-3 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 71980-116LF is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging selection affects inventory management and component handling procedures but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Is the contact material difference between parts significant?

A: The 1-828588-6 uses brass contacts, the 5499160-3 material is not specified, and the 71980-116LF uses phosphor bronze. Phosphor bronze offers superior spring characteristics and wear resistance. For standard applications, this difference is not functionally significant. For high-cycle mating applications, phosphor bronze (71980-116LF) may provide extended service life.

Q: Can both substitute parts be used interchangeably in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided that PCB layout accommodates the dimensional variations, particularly the insulation height difference of the 71980-116LF. Design verification should confirm that mating receptacles are compatible with both AMP-Latch and Quickie™ series headers. Multi-source qualification documentation should be maintained for traceability.
