TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-1658012-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-1658012-1 is a 40-position rectangular connector receptacle designed for surface mount applications. This component features center strip contacts with gold plating and is part of the MICTOR series. The connector is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when packaging format requirements differ. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct functional equivalence.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 4-1658012-1 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the MICTOR series. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type and Position Count: Both main and substitute parts are 40-position receptacles with center strip contacts
• Pitch and Row Configuration: Identical 0.031" (0.80mm) pitch with 2-row arrangement
• Mounting Technology: Both utilize surface mount technology
• Contact Specifications: Gold plating with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness on both parts
• Physical Dimensions: Matching height above board at 0.128" (3.25mm) and compatible mated stacking heights
• Compliance Standards: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Series Designation: Both parts belong to the MICTOR connector series

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) format. This distinction affects inventory management and automated assembly processes but does not alter component functionality or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4-1658012-1 and 6-1658012-1 are Active status products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and inventory requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance considerations.

4-1658012-1 (Tape & Reel Format): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is integrated into pick-and-place equipment. This format optimizes production throughput for large-scale manufacturing.

6-1658012-1 (Cut Tape Format): Appropriate for lower-volume production runs, prototype development, or applications where manual component handling is acceptable. Cut tape packaging provides flexibility for mixed-component assembly scenarios.

Both parts share identical base product number 1658012 and are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications. The choice between them does not affect circuit performance, signal integrity, or compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 4-1658012-1 and 6-1658012-1 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 40-position MICTOR series receptacles with identical electrical specifications, including gold contact finish, 0.031" pitch, and center strip contact configuration. They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual tape segments, typically used for lower-volume production or manual assembly processes. The component itself is unchanged.

Q: Can I substitute 6-1658012-1 for 4-1658012-1 in my design?

A: Yes. The parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. Substitution is valid from a functional standpoint. Verify that your assembly process can accommodate the Cut Tape format if switching from Tape & Reel.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both 4-1658012-1 and 6-1658012-1 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, EAR99 export classification, and identical HTSUS coding. Compliance requirements are satisfied by either part.

Q: What mated stacking heights are supported?

A: Both parts support mated stacking heights of 5mm, 8mm, 11mm, 14mm, 16mm, 19mm, 22mm, 25mm, and 30mm, providing flexibility for various connector depth requirements.

Q: Is the contact finish thickness the same on both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold plating with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent contact resistance and durability characteristics.
