Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5650868-4 is the designated substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 284325. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The original part's obsolete classification necessitates transition to an active equivalent for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, style designation, and class level—are identical. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through equivalent mounting type, termination method, and contact finish specifications.

Compliance and Environmental Certification: Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications: RoHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1. Operating temperature ranges are identical at -55°C to 125°C, confirming thermal equivalence across all specified operating conditions.

Insulation Material Consideration: The substitute employs polymer thermoplastic insulation material versus the original's polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both materials are glass-filled and meet identical flammability and environmental standards, confirming functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity AMP 5650868-4 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity Erni 284325?

A: Yes. The substitute part satisfies all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Both connectors feature 48-position configuration, 0.100" pitch spacing, 3-row arrangement, R/2 style designation, Class 2 level, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and gold contact finish. Operating temperature ranges and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 284325 is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity AMP 5650868-4 is an active product with equivalent specifications, ensuring continued procurement availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: The original part uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation, while the substitute uses polymer thermoplastic glass-filled insulation. Both materials meet identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and environmental standards, confirming functional equivalence.

Q: Do both connectors have the same position count and pitch spacing?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 48 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing arranged in 3 rows, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in backplane connector applications.

Q: Are RoHS3 and compliance certifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Environmental and regulatory compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in series designation?

A: The original part is designated as DIN series, while the substitute is designated as Eurocard series. Despite different series names, both connectors meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 48-position DIN-style backplane connector applications.

Q: Is the packaging different between these parts?

A: The original part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with procurement requirements for specific applications.
