Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Packaging Equivalent: The 5499374-6 is the direct equivalent of 499374-6 with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tray versus Bulk). Selection between these two TE Connectivity parts depends on procurement and inventory management requirements. The 5499374-6 carries RoHS Compliant status, whereas the original 499374-6 is RoHS non-compliant.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: HARTING SEK series connectors provide functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. These parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Selection among HARTING variants (09185266902, 09185266904, 09185266914, 09185267902, 09185267904, 09185267914, 09195266904) depends on specific contact geometry requirements and fastening hook length specifications.

Amphenol ICC Quickie™ Series: The 71918-226LF offers equivalent 26-position, 2.54mm pitch header configuration with RoHS Compliant status. This part is packaged in Tube format and features GXT™ gold mating contact finish. Operating temperature range is not specified for this part.

3M D3000 Series: The D3429-6202-AR provides equivalent header configuration with ROHS3 Compliant status. This part supports higher current rating (1.75A per contact) compared to the original 499374-6 (1A per contact) and operates across -55°C to 105°C temperature range.

Compliance Considerations: Applications requiring RoHS compliance should select from 5499374-6, HARTING SEK series, 71918-226LF, or D3429-6202-AR. The original 499374-6 is RoHS non-compliant and should be replaced in new designs targeting RoHS-regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5499374-6 be used as a direct replacement for 499374-6? A: Yes. The 5499374-6 is electrically and mechanically identical to 499374-6. The only differences are packaging format (Tray versus Bulk) and RoHS compliance status (Compliant versus non-compliant). Both parts maintain identical connector specifications, contact geometry, and electrical ratings.

Q: What are the key differences between TE Connectivity and HARTING variants? A: TE Connectivity 499374-6 and 5499374-6 feature contact length specifications of 0.240" mating and 0.155" post. HARTING SEK series connectors exhibit variations in contact geometry, with some models featuring 0.228" mating contact length and 0.114" post length. Insulation height also differs between manufacturers (TE: 0.549", HARTING: 0.681"). These geometric variations reflect design differences but do not affect functional compatibility for standard PCB applications with standard mating connectors.

Q: Are HARTING parts with long fastening hooks compatible with short hook applications? A: Fastening hook length (short versus long) affects the mechanical engagement characteristics during mating and unmating operations. Parts with different hook lengths maintain the same electrical and positional compatibility but may exhibit different tactile feedback and force requirements during connector engagement. Application-specific requirements determine whether hook length variation is acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences between parts? A: The original 499374-6 specifies Tin-Lead post finish, while substitute parts specify Tin post finish. Mating contact finish is Gold or Gold-Palladium across all parts. These finishes affect solderability and long-term reliability characteristics. Tin-Lead finishes are restricted in RoHS-regulated applications, whereas Tin finishes are RoHS-compliant.

Q: How do insulation material differences affect part selection? A: The original 499374-6 does not specify insulation material. HARTING parts use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) or Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) glass-filled materials. The 71918-226LF uses thermoplastic glass-filled material. The 3M D3429-6202-AR uses PCT/Polyester glass-filled material. These material differences affect temperature performance and mechanical properties but do not alter electrical compatibility for standard applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for this connector type? A: Available packaging formats include Bulk (499374-6, 09185266902, 09185266914, 09195266904), Tray (5499374-6, 09185266904, 09185267904, 09185267914, D3429-6202-AR), and Tube (71918-226LF). Packaging selection depends on procurement volume, handling requirements, and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences between substitute parts? A: The original 499374-6 operates across -65°C to 105°C. HARTING SEK series parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, providing extended high-temperature capability. The 3M D3429-6202-AR operates across -55°C to 105°C. The 71918-226LF does not specify operating temperature range. Application temperature requirements determine whether extended-range parts are necessary.

Q: What is the current rating difference between 499374-6 and D3429-6202-AR? A: The 499374-6 is rated at 1A per contact. The 3M D3429-6202-AR is rated at 1.75A per contact. Higher current rating provides additional design margin for applications with elevated current requirements. The 1.75A rating does not affect compatibility with standard 1A applications.

Q: How does RoHS compliance status affect part selection? A: The original 499374-6 is RoHS non-compliant due to Tin-Lead post finish. All substitute parts listed are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations (EU Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments) require selection of compliant parts. New designs should incorporate RoHS-compliant alternatives.
