Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M D3440-6202-AR connector is the designated substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5499160-7. Selection of the D3440-6202-AR is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The D3440-6202-AR maintains active product status with established manufacturing continuity, whereas the 5499160-7 is classified as obsolete. This ensures long-term component availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance and Certifications: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The D3440-6202-AR carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The D3440-6202-AR demonstrates full compatibility across all critical mating parameters, including pitch, row spacing, contact configuration, and fastening mechanisms. The substitute part supports a higher current rating of 1.75A compared to the original 1A specification, providing enhanced electrical capacity for the same form factor.

Physical Dimensions: Contact post length and overall contact length exhibit minor variations (0.002" and 0.013" respectively) within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole solder termination applications. These dimensional differences do not compromise mechanical fit or electrical performance in board-to-cable/wire connection scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M D3440-6202-AR be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 5499160-7?

A: Yes. The D3440-6202-AR qualifies as a direct functional equivalent. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), position count (30), row configuration (2), shrouding type (4-wall), mounting method (through-hole), termination type (solder), and fastening mechanism (latch lock/eject hooks, short). Operating temperature range, flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level are identical across both parts.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are product status, manufacturer, and current rating. The D3440-6202-AR is an active product from 3M with a 1.75A current rating, while the 5499160-7 is an obsolete TE Connectivity part rated at 1A. The D3440-6202-AR also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Minor dimensional variations exist in contact post length (0.002" difference) and overall contact length (0.013" difference), which do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB footprints?

A: No. Both connectors utilize identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and contact shape (square). PCB footprints designed for the 5499160-7 accommodate the D3440-6202-AR without modification. The minor post length variation does not impact solder joint formation or mechanical stability in standard through-hole applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5499160-7 packaging specification is not provided in the technical documentation. The 3M D3440-6202-AR is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or performance in end-use applications.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the D3440-6202-AR affect circuit design?

A: The D3440-6202-AR supports 1.75A compared to the 1A rating of the 5499160-7. This higher current capacity provides additional design margin and does not introduce compatibility issues. Existing circuit designs rated for 1A operation remain fully compatible with the substitute part.

Q: Are both connectors compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: The D3440-6202-AR carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances. The 5499160-7 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 5499160-7 and 3M D3440-6202-AR are rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
