TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-530654-6 Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-530654-6 is a 22 Position Female Card Edge Connector with dual edge configuration, 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. This connector is classified as obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary due to the obsolete classification, which may result in limited availability or discontinuation of supply from original sources. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with the original electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure proper function in existing applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2-530654-6 connector is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Category: Card Edge Connectors
• Gender: Female
• Pitch: 0.156" (3.96mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Card Thickness: 0.055" ~ 0.070" (1.40mm ~ 1.78mm)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Termination: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Insulation Material: Polyester, Glass Filled

The substitute part 7-530654-6 maintains all mandatory compatibility parameters. The primary difference is the number of positions (44 positions versus 22 positions), which represents a higher-capacity variant within the same connector family. This substitution is valid when the application circuit design accommodates the increased position count.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: Both the main part 2-530654-6 and substitute part 7-530654-6 are classified as obsolete. The substitute part 7-530654-6 offers improved regulatory compliance with ROHS3 Compliant status, whereas the main part 2-530654-6 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the 7-530654-6 substitute is the appropriate selection.

Compliance and Certification: The 7-530654-6 substitute provides ROHS3 Compliant certification, making it suitable for applications requiring adherence to Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives. The main part 2-530654-6 does not meet this requirement. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics within their respective position counts.

Position Count Consideration: Selection between these parts depends on circuit design requirements. The 22-position main part accommodates applications requiring exactly 22 contact positions. The 44-position substitute accommodates applications requiring up to 44 contact positions. The substitute part is not suitable for applications with fixed 22-position circuit designs unless the additional positions remain unused.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7-530654-6 (44-position) substitute be used in place of the 2-530654-6 (22-position) connector?

A: The 7-530654-6 substitute maintains all electrical and mechanical compatibility parameters with the 2-530654-6 main part. Substitution is valid when the application circuit design accommodates the 44-position configuration. If the circuit design is fixed for 22 positions, the substitute part will have 22 unused contact positions, which does not affect electrical performance of the utilized positions.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector variants?

A: The primary difference is the number of contact positions: the 2-530654-6 provides 22 positions, while the 7-530654-6 provides 44 positions. All other electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications remain identical, including pitch, contact material, finish, operating temperature range, and mounting configuration.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. The 7-530654-6 substitute is ROHS3 Compliant, while the 2-530654-6 main part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute part is required. Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the card thickness tolerance for these connectors?

A: Both connectors accept card thickness in the range of 0.055" to 0.070" (1.40mm to 1.78mm). This specification applies to the edge card that interfaces with the connector contacts.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. Both connectors use phosphor bronze contact material with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Contact finish and material specifications are identical.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate at 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, which defines the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contact positions.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 105°C, making them suitable for industrial and extended temperature range applications within this specification.

Q: What termination method is used for these connectors?

A: Both connectors use Solder Eyelet(s) termination, which requires soldering to the printed circuit board or other substrate during assembly.
