TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 499997-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 499997-2 is a 14 Position Rectangular Receptacle Connector designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable in the 26-28 AWG wire gauge range. This connector features gold-plated forked contacts and operates as a free-hanging in-line component within the AMP-Latch series.

The 499997-2 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design compatibility, ensure continued component availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements for systems utilizing this connector specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 499997-2 are qualified based on matching the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle configuration
• Position Count: 14 positions
• Pitch and Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
• Cable Termination Method: IDC technology
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 26-28 AWG ribbon cable
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging in-line orientation
• Feed Through Feature: Maintained across substitutes

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (TE Connectivity): Part number 1658620-2 is manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 499997-2 while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Similar Manufacturer Substitute (3M): Part number 89114-0001HA is manufactured by 3M and meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. While the contact type designation differs (Female Socket versus Forked), both achieve equivalent IDC termination functionality for ribbon cable applications. The contact finish thickness is increased to 30.0µin (0.76µm) compared to the original 15.0µin (0.38µm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): The 1658620-2 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 499997-2. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 1658620-2 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. Additionally, the 1658620-2 is ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original 499997-2 does not meet. This part is supplied in tube packaging and has higher inventory availability (1400 units in stock).

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: The 89114-0001HA from 3M is a qualified alternative when the 1658620-2 is unavailable. This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters and is also ROHS3 compliant. The increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 15.0µin) provides enhanced durability and contact reliability. The 89114-0001HA is supplied in bulk packaging. Selection of this part should account for the different connector color (gray versus black) and the different contact type designation, though both achieve equivalent IDC termination performance.

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance. The original 499997-2 is RoHS non-compliant and should be replaced in new designs or compliance-critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1658620-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 499997-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1658620-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, cable termination method, wire gauge compatibility, and mounting configuration. The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the 499997-2 and the 89114-0001HA?

A: Both parts are 14-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch, row spacing, and IDC termination for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable. The primary differences are manufacturer (TE Connectivity versus 3M), contact type designation (Forked versus Female Socket), contact finish thickness (15.0µin versus 30.0µin), connector color (Black versus Gray), and packaging (not specified versus Bulk). All critical functional parameters match.

Q: Why does the 89114-0001HA have a thicker gold finish?

A: The 89114-0001HA specifies a contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm) compared to 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the 499997-2 and 1658620-2. This increased thickness is a design characteristic of the 3M 891 series and provides enhanced contact durability and wear resistance.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1658620-2 and 89114-0001HA are ROHS3 compliant. The original 499997-2 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, either substitute part is suitable.

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

A: The 1658620-2 is supplied in tube packaging. The 89114-0001HA is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement, handling, and inventory management procedures.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: No. All three parts (499997-2, 1658620-2, and 89114-0001HA) have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations.

Q: Can the 89114-0001HA be used interchangeably with the 1658620-2?

A: Yes. Both parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters for IDC ribbon cable termination in 14-position, 2-row configurations with 0.100" pitch. Selection between them should be based on availability, packaging requirements, and any specific design preferences regarding connector color or contact finish thickness.
