TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-554710-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-554710-3 is a modular connector plug designed for 6-position 6-contact (6p6c) applications, compatible with RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 standards. This unshielded connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination for round cable with stranded or tinsel wires. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and field service applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5-554710-3 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug configuration
• Contact positions: 6p6c (RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, RJ25 compatibility)
• Shielding: Unshielded construction
• Termination method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact)
• Housing material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact finish: Gold plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze or equivalent copper alloy
• Color: Translucent - Clear

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Cable type: Round cable with stranded or tinsel wires (primary); flat oval cable with stranded wires (acceptable alternative)
• Wire gauge: 26-28 AWG
• Physical length: 0.530" (13.46mm) nominal, with tolerance for 0.526" (13.35mm) variant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as active products with current manufacturing status and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: A-MO 6/6-F50 (Assmann WSW Components)

The A-MO 6/6-F50 is the preferred substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5-554710-3. This part demonstrates full functional equivalence across all critical parameters: 6p6c modular plug configuration, unshielded construction, IDC termination, polycarbonate housing, gold-plated contacts at 50.0µin thickness, and translucent clear color. Physical dimensions are nominally equivalent (0.526" versus 0.530"). The part is classified as active with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance and long-term availability. Contact material is specified as copper alloy, which is functionally equivalent to phosphor bronze for this application class. Moisture sensitivity rating matches at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Secondary Substitute: 940-SP-3066-OB (Stewart Connector)

The 940-SP-3066-OB is identified as a direct substitute based on 6-6 modular connector configuration. However, this part has limited technical specification data in available documentation. The part is active and ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status. Selection of this substitute requires confirmation of undocumented parameters including cable type compatibility, wire gauge range, contact material, and physical dimensions against application requirements.

Regulatory and Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designations, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original TE Connectivity part carries "Not applicable" RoHS status and "Vendor Undefined" REACH status due to its obsolete classification. All three parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 5-554710-3 being discontinued?

A: The TE Connectivity 5-554710-3 is classified as obsolete. Substitute parts from active manufacturers provide equivalent functionality with current compliance certifications and assured long-term availability.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: 6p6c modular plug configuration, unshielded design, IDC termination method, polycarbonate housing, gold contact finish at 50.0µin thickness, and translucent clear color. Cable type (round stranded or flat oval stranded) and wire gauge (26-28 AWG) are secondary compatibility factors.

Q: Is the A-MO 6/6-F50 a direct replacement for the 5-554710-3?

A: The A-MO 6/6-F50 meets all critical substitution parameters. Physical length differs slightly (0.526" versus 0.530"), which is within acceptable tolerance for modular connector applications. Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze, which is functionally equivalent for this connector class.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The A-MO 6/6-F50 provides complete technical specifications matching the original part across all documented parameters. The 940-SP-3066-OB is identified as a 6-6 modular connector substitute but has limited technical documentation. The A-MO 6/6-F50 is the recommended choice when full specification confirmation is required.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the A-MO 6/6-F50 and 940-SP-3066-OB are ROHS3 compliant. The original TE Connectivity part carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Q: What is the current inventory status of these parts?

A: The original TE Connectivity 5-554710-3 has 1162 pieces in stock (new original). The A-MO 6/6-F50 has 29,767 pieces in stock. The 940-SP-3066-OB has 751 pieces in stock. Both substitute parts are active products with ongoing manufacturing.

Q: Can the A-MO 6/6-F50 be used with round cable applications?

A: The A-MO 6/6-F50 is specified for flat oval cable with stranded wires. The original 5-554710-3 is specified for round cable with stranded or tinsel wires. Cable type compatibility must be confirmed for specific applications before substitution.

Q: What is the voltage and current rating for these connectors?

A: The original TE Connectivity 5-554710-3 does not specify voltage or current ratings in available documentation. The A-MO 6/6-F50 is rated for 250V at 2A. The 940-SP-3066-OB does not specify electrical ratings in available documentation.

Q: Are these parts suitable for Cat3 applications?

A: The original TE Connectivity 5-554710-3 is rated for Cat3. The A-MO 6/6-F50 does not specify a category rating in available documentation. The 940-SP-3066-OB does not specify a category rating. Application-specific category requirements must be confirmed independently.
