Engineering Selection Recommendations

5499374-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

This part is a direct substitute for 499374-5. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and fastening mechanism. The primary distinction is packaging format (Tray versus unspecified) and compliance status. Part 5499374-5 achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the original 499374-5 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Selection of 5499374-5 is appropriate for applications requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards.

N3627-6203RB (3M 3000 Series)

This part qualifies as a substitute based on matching primary substitution criteria. The connector maintains identical position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination method, shrouding, fastening type, contact shape, and flammability rating. Dimensional alignment includes matching contact length for mating (0.240" / 6.10mm) and post (0.155" / 3.94mm), with overall contact length within acceptable tolerance (0.695" / 17.65mm versus 0.684" / 17.37mm). The 3M part provides higher current rating (1.75A versus 1A per contact) and RoHS compliance. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C, which covers the upper specification of the original part. Voltage rating is not specified for this part. Contact finish post thickness is increased to 200.0µin (5.08µm) compared to 100.0µin (2.54µm) on the original.

N3627-6202RB (3M 3000 Series)

This part meets primary substitution criteria with identical position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination, shrouding, fastening type, contact shape, and flammability rating. However, contact length for post differs significantly at 0.112" (2.84mm) compared to 0.155" (3.94mm) on the original part. Overall contact length is 0.652" (16.56mm) versus 0.684" (17.37mm), representing a dimensional deviation. Insulation height is 0.680" (17.27mm) compared to 0.549" (13.94mm). These dimensional differences may affect board-level fit and mating interface compatibility. Current rating is 1.75A per contact, exceeding the original specification. RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status are achieved. This part is suitable only when dimensional variations are accommodated by circuit board design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a connector header can substitute for the TE Connectivity 499374-5?

A: Substitution eligibility requires matching connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), position count (24), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting method (Through Hole), termination (Solder), shrouding (Shrouded - 4 Wall), fastening type (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks, Short), contact shape (Square), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Secondary parameters including operating temperature range, current rating, and contact finish specifications must also align within acceptable tolerances.

Q: Can the 3M N3627-6202RB replace the TE Connectivity 499374-5 directly?

A: The N3627-6202RB meets all primary electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. However, dimensional differences exist in contact length for post (0.112" versus 0.155"), overall contact length (0.652" versus 0.684"), and insulation height (0.680" versus 0.549"). These variations may affect board-level fit and mating interface compatibility. Direct replacement is possible only when circuit board design accommodates these dimensional deviations.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting 5499374-5 over the original 499374-5?

A: Part 5499374-5 is functionally identical to 499374-5 with matching electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary advantage is regulatory compliance status. Part 5499374-5 achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas 499374-5 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Selection of 5499374-5 is required for applications subject to environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: How do the 3M N3627 series connectors compare to the TE Connectivity AMP-Latch series?

A: Both series share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, termination method, shrouding, fastening type, contact shape, and flammability rating. The 3M parts provide higher current rating (1.75A versus 1A per contact) and increased contact finish post thickness (200.0µin versus 100.0µin). Operating temperature range on 3M parts is -55°C to 105°C, which covers the upper specification of the TE Connectivity part. Dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height between the two series.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5499374-5 is supplied in Tray packaging. The 3M N3627-6202RB and N3627-6203RB are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and component placement procedures in manufacturing environments.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The original 499374-5 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. The TE Connectivity 5499374-5 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both 3M parts (N3627-6202RB and N3627-6203RB) are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. All parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. Selection of compliant parts is necessary for applications subject to environmental regulations.

Q: What is the current rating difference between the original part and 3M substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 499374-5 and 5499374-5 are rated at 1A per contact. The 3M N3627-6202RB and N3627-6203RB are rated at 1.75A per contact. The higher current rating on 3M parts provides additional design margin for applications requiring higher current capacity.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 499374-5 and 5499374-5 operate from -65°C to 105°C. The 3M N3627-6202RB and N3627-6203RB operate from -55°C to 105°C. The 3M parts do not extend to the lower temperature limit of the TE Connectivity parts. Selection must account for application temperature requirements.

Q: What contact finish specifications differ between the parts?

A: All parts feature gold or gold-palladium mating contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Post contact finish differs: TE Connectivity 499374-5 uses Tin-Lead at 100.0µin (2.54µm), while 5499374-5 uses Tin at 100.0µin (2.54µm). Both 3M parts use Tin at 200.0µin (5.08µm). The increased post finish thickness on 3M parts provides enhanced durability.
