Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 499206-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (24), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (through hole), shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall), fastening type (latch lock/eject hooks, long), termination method (solder), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0). All substitute parts must maintain these core electrical and mechanical characteristics to ensure functional compatibility in the target application.

The identified substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from TE Connectivity and functionally similar alternatives from 3M. Direct equivalents share identical series designation (AMP-Latch) and base product architecture. Similar alternatives from the 3M 3000 series maintain equivalent connector geometry and electrical performance characteristics while originating from a different manufacturer platform.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent - TE Connectivity 5499206-5

The 5499206-5 is a direct manufacturer equivalent from TE Connectivity within the AMP-Latch series. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 499206-5 across all critical parameters including connector geometry, pitch, row spacing, fastening configuration, and flammability rating. The primary distinction is compliance status: the 5499206-5 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, whereas the 499206-5 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. The 5499206-5 also features Tin post finish instead of Tin-Lead, eliminating lead content. Selection of the 5499206-5 is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance or REACH compliance without regulatory restrictions. Both parts are active in production with adequate inventory availability.

Similar Alternative - 3M N3627-6302RB

The N3627-6302RB from 3M's 3000 series provides functional equivalence with notable enhancements in electrical performance. This part maintains identical connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting method, shrouding, fastening type, termination, and flammability rating. The N3627-6302RB delivers a higher current rating of 1.75A compared to the 1A rating of the 499206-5, supporting applications with increased power delivery requirements. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C, providing a narrower low-temperature specification than the 499206-5 (-65°C to 105°C). The N3627-6302RB is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. This part is suitable for applications where the narrower temperature range is acceptable and enhanced current capacity is beneficial.

Similar Alternative - 3M N3627-6303RB

The N3627-6303RB from 3M's 3000 series is functionally equivalent to the 499206-5 with identical connector specifications and the same enhanced current rating of 1.75A. The primary distinction from the N3627-6302RB is the contact post length: the N3627-6303RB features a longer post (0.155" / 3.94mm) compared to the N3627-6302RB (0.112" / 2.84mm). This longer post configuration accommodates applications requiring extended solder joint engagement or specific PCB stack-up requirements. The N3627-6303RB maintains the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), RoHS Compliance, and REACH Unaffected status as the N3627-6302RB. Selection between the two 3M variants depends on post length requirements for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5499206-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 499206-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5499206-5 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, and flammability rating. The primary differences are compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant) and post finish material (Tin vs. Tin-Lead). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 499206-5 and the 3M N3627-6302RB?

A: Both parts maintain identical connector geometry, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, shrouding, fastening configuration, and flammability rating. The N3627-6302RB provides a higher current rating (1.75A vs. 1A) and operates across a narrower temperature range (-55°C to 105°C vs. -65°C to 105°C). The N3627-6302RB is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Selection depends on whether the application requires the extended low-temperature capability of the 499206-5 or the enhanced current capacity of the N3627-6302RB.

Q: How do the two 3M alternatives differ from each other?

A: The N3627-6302RB and N3627-6303RB are functionally identical except for contact post length. The N3627-6302RB features a 0.112" (2.84mm) post, while the N3627-6303RB features a 0.155" (3.94mm) post. Both deliver 1.75A current rating and operate across -55°C to 105°C. Post length selection depends on PCB thickness, solder joint requirements, and specific application stack-up geometry.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 499206-5 and 5499206-5 are supplied in Tray packaging. The 3M alternatives (N3627-6302RB and N3627-6303RB) are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement, handling, and inventory management procedures.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Both the 5499206-5 (ROHS3 Compliant) and the 3M alternatives N3627-6302RB and N3627-6303RB (RoHS Compliant) meet RoHS compliance requirements. The 499206-5 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for applications with RoHS compliance mandates.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences?

A: The 499206-5 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 5499206-5 and 3M alternatives feature Tin post finish. Tin-Lead finish contains lead, which is restricted under RoHS regulations. Tin finish eliminates lead content, supporting RoHS compliance. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance for the specified current and voltage ratings.

Q: Can the 499206-5 be used in applications requiring operation below -55°C?

A: Yes. The 499206-5 is rated for operation from -65°C to 105°C, providing extended low-temperature capability compared to the 3M alternatives (rated -55°C to 105°C). If the application requires operation below -55°C, the 499206-5 or 5499206-5 must be selected.

Q: Are there current rating implications when substituting the 499206-5 with 3M alternatives?

A: The 499206-5 and 5499206-5 are rated for 1A, while the 3M alternatives (N3627-6302RB and N3627-6303RB) are rated for 1.75A. The higher rating of the 3M parts provides additional current capacity margin. If the application requires exactly 1A operation, either part is suitable. If higher current capacity is needed, the 3M alternatives are appropriate.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: The 499206-5 has 668 pieces in stock, the 5499206-5 has 1900 pieces in stock, the N3627-6302RB has 6972 pieces in stock, and the N3627-6303RB has 812 pieces in stock. Inventory availability may influence part selection based on procurement timeline and supply chain requirements.
