TE Connectivity 555165-1 Modular Connector Jack 6P6C RJ11/RJ12/RJ14/RJ25 90° Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 555165-1 is a jack modular connector with 6 positions and 6 contacts (6P6C) in a 90° right-angle orientation, supporting RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 configurations. This through-hole solder-terminated connector features an unshielded design with board lock functionality and operates across the -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

The 555165-1 carries an obsolete product status, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Equivalent parts maintain full functional and mechanical compatibility, while substitute parts provide alternative solutions with specified parameter variations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the 555165-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

  • Connector type (Jack Modular)
  • Number of positions and contacts (6P6C for full compatibility; 6P4C for reduced-contact applications)
  • Mounting type (Through Hole)
  • Orientation (90° Angle Right)
  • Termination method (Solder)
  • Tab direction (Down)
  • Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C minimum)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

  • Contact material (Phosphor Bronze preferred for consistency)
  • Contact finish (Gold plating)
  • Housing material (PBT or Polyester-based thermoplastics)
  • Shielding configuration (Unshielded primary; Shielded as alternative)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1: Direct Equivalents (6P6C Configuration) Parts maintaining identical 6P6C contact configuration with matching electrical and mechanical parameters. These include TE Connectivity 5555165-1 (active status, RoHS compliant) and Assmann WSW Components A-2004-1-1-LP-N, A-2004-1-2-LP-N, and A-2004-1-3-LP-N (all active status, ROHS3 compliant).

Category 2: Functional Substitutes (6P4C Configuration) Assmann WSW Components parts A-2004-0-1-LP-N, A-2004-0-2-LP-N, A-2004-0-3-LP-N, and A-2004-0-4-LP-N-R provide 6P4C contact configuration, supporting RJ11 and RJ14 standards. These are suitable for applications not requiring the full 6-contact capacity.

Category 3: Alternative Manufacturer Solutions Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54601-906WPLF and Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) RJE031660110H provide cross-manufacturer alternatives with 6P6C configuration. The RJE031660110H features shielded design, offering EMI protection for noise-sensitive applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Obsolete to Active):

TE Connectivity 5555165-1 is the primary recommended equivalent for 555165-1 applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with 6P6C configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, phosphor bronze contacts with 50.0µin gold plating, and -40°C to 85°C operating range. The 5555165-1 carries active product status and RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements absent in the obsolete 555165-1.

For RoHS-Compliant Alternatives:

Assmann WSW Components A-2004-1-1-LP-N, A-2004-1-2-LP-N, and A-2004-1-3-LP-N provide 6P6C configurations with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. These parts maintain through-hole solder termination, 90° right-angle orientation, and -40°C to 85°C operating range. Contact finish thickness varies (15.0µin, 30.0µin, and 50.0µin respectively), with A-2004-1-3-LP-N matching the original 50.0µin specification.

For Reduced-Contact Applications:

Assmann WSW Components A-2004-0-1-LP-N, A-2004-0-2-LP-N, A-2004-0-3-LP-N, and A-2004-0-4-LP-N-R provide 6P4C configurations suitable for RJ11 and RJ14 applications where full 6-contact capacity is not required. All maintain active status, ROHS3 compliance, and -40°C to 85°C operating range. A-2004-0-3-LP-N matches the original 50.0µin contact finish thickness.

For Cross-Manufacturer Solutions:

Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54601-906WPLF provides 6P6C configuration with RoHS compliance but carries last-time-buy status and reduced operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C). Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) RJE031660110H offers 6P6C configuration with shielded design for EMI-sensitive applications, active status, and RoHS compliance.

Compliance Considerations:

All recommended active substitutes provide RoHS compliance or ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements. The original 555165-1 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected; active alternatives eliminate these compliance gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 555165-1 be directly replaced with the 5555165-1?

A: Yes. The 5555165-1 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both feature 6P6C configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, phosphor bronze contacts with 50.0µin gold plating, and -40°C to 85°C operating range. The 5555165-1 is active and RoHS compliant, making it the primary replacement for the obsolete 555165-1.

Q: What is the difference between 6P6C and 6P4C configurations?

A: 6P6C (6 positions, 6 contacts) supports RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 standards with full contact capacity. 6P4C (6 positions, 4 contacts) supports RJ11 and RJ14 standards with reduced contact count. Selection depends on application requirements; 6P4C parts are suitable only for applications not requiring the additional two contacts.

Q: Are Assmann WSW Components A-2004 series parts fully compatible with the 555165-1?

A: Assmann WSW Components A-2004-1-1-LP-N, A-2004-1-2-LP-N, and A-2004-1-3-LP-N are fully compatible with the 555165-1 for 6P6C applications. All maintain identical connector type, mounting method, orientation, termination, and operating temperature range. Contact finish thickness varies; A-2004-1-3-LP-N matches the original 50.0µin specification. The 6P4C variants (A-2004-0 series) are compatible only for applications not requiring full 6-contact capacity.

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

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The original 555165-1 specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating. Assmann WSW Components offers variants with 15.0µin, 30.0µin, and 50.0µin thicknesses. For applications requiring maximum durability and wear resistance, select parts matching or exceeding the original 50.0µin specification.

Q: Why does the Amphenol ICC 54601-906WPLF have a reduced operating temperature range?

A: The 54601-906WPLF operates from -40°C to 70°C, compared to the 555165-1 specification of -40°C to 85°C. This part is suitable only for applications with maximum operating temperatures not exceeding 70°C. For applications requiring the full -40°C to 85°C range, select alternatives maintaining this specification.

Q: When should the shielded RJE031660110H be selected over unshielded alternatives?

A: The RJE031660110H features shielded design, providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. Select this part for applications in electrically noisy environments or where EMI rejection is required. The unshielded 555165-1 and its equivalents are suitable for standard applications without EMI concerns.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The 555165-1 is supplied in standard packaging. Substitute parts are available in Tray packaging (TE Connectivity 5555165-1, Assmann WSW Components A-2004 series, Amphenol ICC RJE031660110H) and Bulk packaging (Amphenol ICC FCI 54601-906WPLF). Packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Are all recommended substitutes REACH compliant?

A: The original 555165-1 is REACH-affected. Active substitutes vary: TE Connectivity 5555165-1 is REACH-unaffected; Assmann WSW Components A-2004 series parts are REACH-unaffected; Amphenol ICC parts are REACH-affected. For applications requiring REACH-unaffected components, select TE Connectivity 5555165-1 or Assmann WSW Components alternatives.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: TE Connectivity 5555165-1 has 24,260 pieces in stock. Assmann WSW Components A-2004 series parts range from 824 to 4,706 pieces in stock. Amphenol ICC 54601-906WPLF has 2,580 pieces in stock. Amphenol ICC RJE031660110H has 680 pieces in stock. Inventory levels are subject to change; verify current availability with suppliers.
