3M 2564-5002UG Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 2564-5002UG is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 64 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement. The connector features shrouded 4-wall construction with male pins, gold-plated mating contacts, and tin-lead post finishes, suitable for board-to-board or cable applications in industrial and commercial electronics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 2564-5002UG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: 64-position count, 2-row configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall construction, male pin contact type, push-pull fastening, and board-to-board or cable style. All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The identified substitutes are:

1. N2564-5002-RB (3M) - Direct manufacturer upgrade from the obsolete 2564-5002UG, maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications with improved RoHS compliance and active product status.

2. TSS-132-04-F-D-RA (Samtec Inc.) - Cross-manufacturer equivalent from the Flex Stack TSS series, meeting all position, pitch, mounting, and shrouding requirements with extended operating temperature range and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

N2564-5002-RB (3M) is the primary substitute for the obsolete 2564-5002UG. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The transition from tin-lead to tin post finish aligns with modern manufacturing standards. This option is recommended for designs requiring direct form-fit-function replacement with minimal qualification effort.

TSS-132-04-F-D-RA (Samtec Inc.) serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative when 3M supply is constrained. This part meets all critical mechanical and electrical requirements with extended operating temperature capability (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C). The phosphor bronze contact material and ROHS3 compliance support long-term supply chain stability. Selection of this part requires verification of mechanical fit within the application's connector cavity and mating interface.

Both substitutes carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and unlimited moisture sensitivity levels, maintaining compliance with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can N2564-5002-RB directly replace 2564-5002UG without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. The N2564-5002-RB maintains identical pitch (0.100"), position count (64), row configuration (2), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and shrouding (4-wall). No PCB footprint modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between tin-lead and tin post finishes?

A: The original 2564-5002UG uses tin-lead post finish. The N2564-5002-RB uses tin post finish. Both provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance. Tin post finish aligns with RoHS compliance requirements and is standard in current manufacturing.

Q: Is TSS-132-04-F-D-RA mechanically compatible with existing mating connectors?

A: TSS-132-04-F-D-RA maintains the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 64-position count, 2-row spacing, and push-pull fastening as the original part. Mechanical compatibility depends on the specific mating connector cavity design. Verify contact length specifications and insulation height with the mating connector documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in TSS-132-04-F-D-RA?

A: The TSS-132-04-F-D-RA operates from -55°C to 125°C, compared to -55°C to 105°C for the original part. This extended range provides additional thermal margin for applications in high-temperature environments but does not affect compatibility in standard temperature applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitutes?

A: N2564-5002-RB is supplied in bulk packaging, while TSS-132-04-F-D-RA is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement logistics and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitutes?

A: N2564-5002-RB is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. TSS-132-04-F-D-RA is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Verify compliance requirements against your specific application and regional regulations.
