Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 499786-5 are grouped based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and position count (24 positions in 2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle) and shrouding (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder) and fastening mechanism (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C minimum)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation color (Black)

Allowable Variations:

• Contact material (Brass or Copper Alloy)
• Contact finish composition (Gold, Gold-Palladium, or Tin variations)
• Contact finish thickness within rated specifications
• Current rating (1A or higher per contact)
• Voltage rating (250VAC or unspecified)
• Fastening hook length (Long or Short)
• Post contact length (within manufacturing tolerance)
• Insulation height (within manufacturing tolerance)
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

Substitute parts meeting these criteria maintain functional and mechanical interchangeability for board-to-cable/wire connection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5499786-5 (Direct Equivalent)

The 5499786-5 is the primary direct equivalent to 499786-5. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMP-Latch series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 5499786-5 offers ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, compared to the original part's not applicable RoHS status. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced regulatory compliance. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 2022 pieces.

3M N3627-5302RB (Functional Equivalent)

The N3627-5302RB is a functional equivalent from 3M's 3000 series. This part maintains all critical parameters including 24-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall construction, and long latch lock/eject hooks. The N3627-5302RB features copper alloy contacts with gold finish and tin post finish, providing enhanced current rating of 1.75A per contact compared to 1A. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C, which covers the primary operating window of the original part. This part is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Post contact length is 0.112" (2.84mm), closely matching the original 0.110" specification.

3M N3627-5203RB (Functional Equivalent with Variations)

The N3627-5203RB is a functional equivalent with notable variations. This 3M 3000 series part matches all critical parameters but features short latch lock/eject hooks compared to the long hooks on the original part. Post contact length is 0.155" (3.94mm), which is longer than the original 0.110" specification. This part is suitable for applications where the longer post length and shorter hook engagement are compatible with the mating connector design. Current rating is 1.75A per contact, and operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, black insulation color, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. Selection should be based on specific application requirements regarding fastening hook length, post contact length, and regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5499786-5 be used as a direct replacement for 499786-5?

A: Yes. The 5499786-5 is a direct equivalent manufactured by TE Connectivity within the same AMP-Latch series. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including pitch, position count, mounting type, shrouding, and fastening configuration. The primary difference is enhanced RoHS3 compliance status on the 5499786-5.

Q: What are the key differences between TE Connectivity and 3M substitute parts?

A: TE Connectivity 5499786-5 is a direct series equivalent. The 3M N3627 series parts are cross-manufacturer equivalents with the following differences: contact material (copper alloy vs. brass), contact finish thickness (200.0µin vs. 100.0µin on post), current rating (1.75A vs. 1A per contact), and operating temperature minimum (-55°C vs. -65°C). The N3627-5203RB uses short hooks while N3627-5302RB uses long hooks.

Q: Are the 3M N3627-5203RB and N3627-5302RB interchangeable with each other?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications and 24-position 0.100" pitch configuration. The primary difference is fastening hook length: N3627-5203RB has short hooks while N3627-5302RB has long hooks. Additionally, N3627-5203RB has a longer post contact length of 0.155" compared to N3627-5302RB at 0.112". Interchangeability depends on mating connector design compatibility with these mechanical variations.

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

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The 3M parts feature 200.0µin (5.08µm) post finish thickness compared to 100.0µin (2.54µm) on the TE Connectivity parts. Thicker finishes provide extended contact life in high-cycle mating applications. Mating contact finish is 30.0µin (0.76µm) on 3M parts versus 15.0µin (0.38µm) on TE Connectivity parts.

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

A: No. The TE Connectivity 499786-5 and 5499786-5 operate from -65°C to 105°C. The 3M N3627-5203RB and N3627-5302RB operate from -55°C to 105°C. The TE Connectivity parts provide 10°C lower temperature capability. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use TE Connectivity parts.

Q: What is the current rating difference, and does it matter for my application?

A: TE Connectivity parts are rated at 1A per contact, while 3M parts are rated at 1.75A per contact. If your application requires current per contact exceeding 1A, the 3M parts provide additional capacity. If your application operates at or below 1A per contact, both options are suitable.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 5499786-5 is ROHS3 compliant. The 3M N3627-5203RB and N3627-5302RB are RoHS compliant. The original 499786-5 has not applicable RoHS status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, use 5499786-5, N3627-5203RB, or N3627-5302RB.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed parts share this specification, eliminating moisture sensitivity as a selection criterion.

Q: How do I determine which substitute part is best for my application?

A: Evaluate your specific requirements: (1) Temperature range: if below -55°C is required, use TE Connectivity parts; (2) Current per contact: if above 1A, use 3M parts; (3) Fastening hook length: if short hooks are required, use N3627-5203RB; if long hooks are required, use N3627-5302RB or TE Connectivity parts; (4) Post contact length: verify compatibility with your mating connector design; (5) Regulatory compliance: confirm RoHS and REACH requirements for your region.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: All parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-cable/wire connections. However, assembly consistency and traceability practices should guide whether mixed parts are appropriate for your manufacturing process.
