• Current rating: 1.75A versus 1A
• Contact finish mating: Gold versus Gold or Gold-Palladium

The N3627-6203RB carries RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection of this part is appropriate when dimensional variations are accommodated by the application design and enhanced current rating provides operational margin. The 3M connector is an active product with MSL 1 classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5499910-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 499910-5?

A: Yes. The 5499910-5 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is regulatory compliance status: 5499910-5 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while 499910-5 is not applicable for RoHS and is REACH affected. Both parts are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: What are the key differences between the 499910-5 and the N3627-6203RB?

A: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 24-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall construction, and latch lock/eject hooks. The N3627-6203RB differs in contact post length (0.155" versus 0.110"), overall contact length (0.695" versus 0.639"), insulation height (0.680" versus 0.549"), contact finish thickness (200.0µin versus 100.0µin), and current rating (1.75A versus 1A).

A: The 5499910-5 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the 499910-5 is not applicable for RoHS and is REACH affected. The N3627-6203RB is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements specific to the application's target market and end-use industry. ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. REACH unaffected status indicates the part does not contain substances of very high concern requiring authorization.

Q: Can the 499910-5 and 5499910-5 be used interchangeably in the same design?

A: Yes. The 499910-5 and 5499910-5 are electrically and mechanically identical and can be used interchangeably. Selection between them depends on regulatory compliance requirements and sourcing availability. Both are active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: What contact finish specifications differ among the three parts?

A: The 499910-5 features gold or gold-palladium mating finish with tin-lead post finish. The 5499910-5 features gold or gold-palladium mating finish with tin post finish. The N3627-6203RB features gold mating finish with tin post finish.
