The N3408-5302RB is a cross-manufacturer alternative from 3M's 3000 series. This connector meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the following distinctions: contact post length of 0.112" (2.84mm) versus 0.110" (2.79mm) on the 499141-3, insulation height of 0.340" (8.64mm) versus 0.315" (8.00mm), and current rating of 1.75A per contact versus 1A per contact. The N3408-5302RB operates across -55°C to 105°C and is RoHS Compliant. This part is available in Tray packaging with 2070 pieces in stock.

3M N3408-5303RB (Cross-Manufacturer Alternative)

The N3408-5303RB is a cross-manufacturer alternative from 3M's 3000 series with extended contact post length of 0.155" (3.94mm). This connector shares the same 16-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and meets all critical electrical and mechanical requirements. The N3408-5303RB operates across -55°C to 105°C with a current rating of 1.75A per contact and is RoHS Compliant. This part is available in Bulk packaging with 1206 pieces in stock.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, and equivalent shrouding and fastening characteristics. Selection among these alternatives depends on packaging requirements, compliance certifications, and specific contact post length requirements for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5499141-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 499141-3?

A: Yes. The 5499141-3 is a direct TE Connectivity AMP Connectors equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tray versus Bulk) and RoHS3 compliance status. Both parts operate at the same voltage (250VAC), current (1A per contact), and temperature range (-65°C to 105°C).

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 499141-3 and the 3M N3408-5302RB?

A: The primary differences are contact post length (0.110" versus 0.112"), insulation height (0.315" versus 0.340"), current rating (1A versus 1.75A per contact), and operating temperature minimum (-65°C versus -55°C). Both connectors maintain the same 16-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration, shrouding type, and fastening mechanism. The N3408-5302RB is available in Tray packaging.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 499141-3 and the 3M N3408-5303RB?

A: The primary differences are contact post length (0.110" versus 0.155"), insulation height (0.315" versus 0.340"), current rating (1A versus 1.75A per contact), and operating temperature minimum (-65°C versus -55°C). Both connectors maintain the same 16-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration, shrouding type, and fastening mechanism. The N3408-5303RB is available in Bulk packaging.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 5499141-3 is RoHS3 Compliant. The 3M N3408-5302RB and N3408-5303RB are RoHS Compliant. The original 499141-3 has RoHS Status listed as Not applicable.

Q: What is the significance of the contact post length differences between these connectors?

A: Contact post length determines the depth of solder penetration and board mounting characteristics. The 499141-3 has a post length of 0.110" (2.79mm), the N3408-5302RB has 0.112" (2.84mm), and the N3408-5303RB has 0.155" (3.94mm). Selection depends on PCB thickness and solder joint requirements for the specific application.

Q: Can the 3M connectors be used in applications requiring the full -65°C to 105°C temperature range?

A: The 3M N3408-5302RB and N3408-5303RB operate across -55°C to 105°C, which does not cover the full lower temperature range of the 499141-3 (-65°C to 105°C). Selection of 3M alternatives is appropriate only for applications where the -55°C minimum temperature is acceptable.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each part?

A: The 499141-3 is available in Bulk packaging (631 pieces in stock). The 5499141-3 is available in Tray packaging (72899 pieces in stock). The N3408-5302RB is available in Tray packaging (2070 pieces in stock). The N3408-5303RB is available in Bulk packaging (1206 pieces in stock).

Q: Are there voltage rating differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 499141-3 and 5499141-3 are rated at 250VAC. The 3M N3408-5302RB and N3408-5303RB do not have a specified voltage rating in the provided parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating differences?

A: The 499141-3 and 5499141-3 are rated at 1A per contact. The 3M N3408-5302RB and N3408-5303RB are rated at 1.75A per contact. The higher current rating of the 3M connectors indicates greater current-carrying capacity, making them suitable for applications requiring higher current levels while maintaining compatibility with lower-current applications.
