TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-569031-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-569031-3 is a modular connector plug classified as 6P4C (RJ11, RJ14) position unshielded type, designed for round cable with stranded wires. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination and is rated for Cat3 applications. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional and electrical compatibility for ongoing applications and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 5-569031-3 is determined by the following core parameters that must remain consistent:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 6P4C (RJ11, RJ14)
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Termination Method: IDC
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Color: Translucent - Clear

Allowable Variations:

• Cable Type: Round cable (main part) may be substituted with round cable, flat oval cable, or combinations of solid or stranded wires
• Length: Minor dimensional variations (0.525" to 0.530") are acceptable within manufacturing tolerances
• Wire Gauge: Specifications may vary (26-28 AWG main part; 24-28 AWG or unspecified in substitutes)
• Ratings: Cat3 (main part) may be upgraded to Cat5 in substitutes
• Product Status: Active substitutes are preferred over obsolete status

The three Stewart Connector alternatives (940-SP-3046R, 940-SP-3046, 940-SP-3046-B25) meet all critical matching parameters and are classified as active products with current availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Stewart Connector alternatives (940-SP-3046R, 940-SP-3046, 940-SP-3046-B25) are suitable substitutes for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5-569031-3 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status and Compliance: All substitute parts are classified as Active products with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The Stewart Connector parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The original TE Connectivity part has undefined REACH status and not applicable RoHS classification due to its obsolete status.

Functional Equivalence: The three substitute parts maintain identical core specifications: 6P4C (RJ11, RJ14) plug configuration, unshielded design, IDC termination, polycarbonate housing, phosphor bronze contacts with 50.0µin gold finish, and translucent clear color. All parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications.

Selection Criteria by Application:

940-SP-3046R: Designed for round cable with solid or stranded wires. This part most closely matches the original cable type specification of the TE Connectivity connector. Recommended for applications requiring round cable compatibility.

940-SP-3046: Designed for flat oval cable with solid or stranded wires. Recommended for applications where flat oval cable is preferred or already in use. MSL classification is Not Applicable.

940-SP-3046-B25: Designed for flat oval cable with solid or stranded wires and rated for Cat5 applications. This part provides enhanced performance capability with Cat5 rating compared to the original Cat3 specification. Wire gauge specification of 24-28 AWG provides broader compatibility. Recommended for new designs or upgrades requiring higher performance standards.

Electrical Performance: All substitute parts provide 1.5 A current rating and 150V voltage rating, specifications not provided in the original part documentation. These ratings support the functional requirements of 6P4C modular connectors in standard telecommunications and data applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Stewart Connector 940-SP-3046R directly replace the TE Connectivity 5-569031-3?

A: Yes. The 940-SP-3046R maintains all critical specifications including 6P4C configuration, unshielded design, IDC termination, polycarbonate housing, and identical contact materials and finishes. The primary difference is cable type compatibility: 940-SP-3046R accommodates round cable with solid or stranded wires, matching the original specification.

Q: What is the difference between the three Stewart Connector substitutes?

A: The three parts differ in cable type and performance rating. The 940-SP-3046R is designed for round cable. The 940-SP-3046 and 940-SP-3046-B25 are designed for flat oval cable. The 940-SP-3046-B25 provides Cat5 rating and 24-28 AWG wire gauge specification, offering enhanced performance compared to the other two options.

Q: Is the Cat5 rating of the 940-SP-3046-B25 compatible with Cat3 applications?

A: Yes. Cat5 rating is a higher performance specification that is backward compatible with Cat3 applications. The 940-SP-3046-B25 can be used in any application originally designed for Cat3 connectors.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference (0.530" versus 0.525")?

A: The 0.005" (0.12mm) difference falls within standard manufacturing tolerances for modular connectors and does not affect functional compatibility or performance in standard applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three Stewart Connector substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The original TE Connectivity part has not applicable RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 940-SP-3046-B25 is recommended. It provides Cat5 rating for enhanced performance capability, broader wire gauge compatibility (24-28 AWG), and active product status with full regulatory compliance.

Q: Can the 940-SP-3046 (flat oval cable) be used in applications originally designed for the round cable version?

A: Flat oval cable and round cable have different physical dimensions and flexibility characteristics. The 940-SP-3046 is mechanically compatible with the 6P4C IDC termination but should be selected based on the actual cable type in use. If the application uses round cable, the 940-SP-3046R is the appropriate choice.

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

A: The 940-SP-3046R has 302,293 pieces in stock, the 940-SP-3046 has 31,108 pieces in stock, and the 940-SP-3046-B25 has 953 pieces in stock. All parts are available as new original stock.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts, including the original TE Connectivity connector, feature gold contact finish with 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness and phosphor bronze contact material.
