Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 61837-5641 and 90512-003LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration (6p4c), mounting method (through hole), orientation (vertical), termination (solder), and mechanical features (board lock, panel stops).

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the 61837-5641?

A: The 61837-5641 is classified as obsolete. The 90512-003LF is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and support.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 90512-003LF is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original 61837-5641 is RoHS non-compliant. This makes the substitute suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish specifications?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The contact finish thickness differs (50.0µin for 61837-5641 versus 5.00µin for 90512-003LF), but both meet the functional requirements for 6p4c modular connectors.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute?

A: The 90512-003LF operates from -40°C to 70°C. The original part does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: Is the substitute available in the same packaging?

A: The 90512-003LF is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging information for the original 61837-5641 is not specified in the provided data.
