TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 583649-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 583649-3 is an edge terminal connector from the TWIN LEAF series, designed for card edge applications. This non-gendered terminal accommodates wire gauges from 18 to 22 AWG and utilizes crimp termination with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The part is currently active in production and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format requirements, compliance variations, and inventory availability while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 583649-3 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Wire gauge range: 18-22 AWG
• Contact termination method: Crimp
• Contact material composition: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish specification: Gold plating
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Gender configuration: Non-Gendered
• Series designation: TWIN LEAF

Variable Parameters (May Differ):

• Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape)
• RoHS compliance status
• REACH vendor status
• Inventory availability

The substitute part 5-583649-3 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the primary part number 583649-3. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and compliance certifications, which do not affect functional performance in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring RoHS compliance: Select part number 5-583649-3, which carries RoHS Compliant certification. This substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence while satisfying regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

For applications with no RoHS requirement: Either part number 583649-3 or 5-583649-3 is functionally suitable. Selection may be based on packaging preference and inventory availability.

For high-volume assembly operations: Part number 583649-3 in Tape & Reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place assembly processes. Part number 5-583649-3 in Cut Tape format is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.

For supply chain continuity: Both part numbers are active products from the same manufacturer. The availability of two equivalent part numbers provides redundancy for procurement planning. Current inventory levels show 5205 pieces available for 5-583649-3 versus 723 pieces for 583649-3.

For export or international applications: Verify REACH compliance requirements with your regulatory or procurement department. The main part (583649-3) carries REACH Affected status, while the substitute (5-583649-3) shows Vendor Undefined status. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-583649-3 be used as a direct replacement for 583649-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part 5-583649-3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 583649-3. All critical parameters including wire gauge, termination type, contact material, finish specification, and finish thickness are identical. The parts differ only in packaging format and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on cut segments of carrier tape, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and manufacturing processes, not electrical or mechanical performance. Both the RoHS Compliant (5-583649-3) and RoHS Non-Compliant (583649-3) versions deliver identical electrical characteristics and mechanical fit.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable at the assembly level?

A: Yes, for functional purposes. Both parts are non-gendered edge terminals with identical crimp termination, wire gauge accommodation, and contact specifications. Assembly procedures and tooling requirements remain unchanged between the two part numbers.

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

A: For new designs, part number 5-583649-3 is recommended if RoHS compliance is required by your application, customer, or regulatory jurisdiction. If no RoHS requirement exists, either part is suitable based on packaging and inventory preferences.

Q: What is the significance of the "5-" prefix in part number 5-583649-3?

A: The "5-" prefix indicates a variant within the TE Connectivity product line. In this case, it designates the Cut Tape packaging format and RoHS Compliant version of the base product 583649-3. The core component specifications remain identical.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent, they can be used interchangeably within the same assembly or production batch without affecting form, fit, or function.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these terminals?

A: Both part numbers support wire gauges from 18 AWG to 22 AWG. Crimp termination must be performed with tooling calibrated for this specific gauge range.
