TE Connectivity 6-229913-1 D-Sub 50 Position Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 6-229913-1 is a 50 position receptacle connector featuring IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination in the CHAMP .085 series. This connector is designed for free hanging (in-line) applications with outer shroud contacts and a housing/shell flange featuring 4-40 mounting. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for new and legacy applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6-229913-1 is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters: connector category (D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors), series designation (CHAMP .085), position count (50), row configuration (2), connector type (Receptacle), connector style (Outer Shroud Contacts), termination method (IDC), flange feature (Housing/Shell 4-40), contact finish (Gold), and contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm).

Substitute parts must maintain identical specifications across all these parameters. Variations in mounting type (straight versus right angle), product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance level, and packaging format are permitted substitution variables that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the connector interface itself.

The following parts satisfy substitution criteria:

229913-1: Maintains all core parameters with variation in mounting type (right angle configuration) and product status (active).

6-5229913-1: Maintains all core parameters with identical mounting type (straight) and product status (active), representing the direct active equivalent with enhanced RoHS compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 6-5229913-1

The 6-5229913-1 is the direct active equivalent of the obsolete 6-229913-1. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including straight mounting configuration, 50 position receptacle design, IDC termination, and gold contact finish. The 6-5229913-1 carries ROHS3 compliance status, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and applications subject to RoHS requirements. This part is currently active in production with the highest inventory availability (1508 units).

Secondary Recommendation: 229913-1

The 229913-1 serves as an active substitute when right angle mounting orientation is required or preferred for the application. All core electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical to the main part. This connector includes additional features (backshell, cable clamp, dust cover, mounting hardware) not specified for the main part. The 229913-1 maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with the original part. This option is suitable for applications where connector orientation and supplementary features provide functional advantage.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the CHAMP .085 series and maintain full compatibility with the 50 position, 2 row receptacle interface specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 229913-1 be used as a direct replacement for 6-229913-1?

A: The 229913-1 is electrically and mechanically compatible with 6-229913-1 for all core connector functions. The primary difference is mounting orientation: 229913-1 features right angle configuration while 6-229913-1 is straight. Selection depends on application space constraints and cable routing requirements. Both maintain identical 50 position, 2 row receptacle design with IDC termination.

Q: What is the difference between 6-229913-1 and 6-5229913-1?

A: Both parts are straight mounting 50 position receptacle connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: 6-229913-1 is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status, while 6-5229913-1 is active in production with ROHS3 compliance. For new designs, 6-5229913-1 is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 6-229913-1 packaging is not specified. The 229913-1 is supplied in bag packaging, while 6-5229913-1 is supplied in box packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility; selection is based on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Do all three parts have identical contact specifications?

A: Yes. All three parts feature gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring consistent electrical performance and contact reliability across all substitution options.

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

A: The 6-5229913-1 is the appropriate selection for new designs. This part is active in production, carries ROHS3 compliance certification, and maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original 6-229913-1. The 229913-1 is suitable when right angle mounting is a design requirement.

Q: Are these connectors interchangeable with other D-Sub connector series?

A: No. These connectors are specific to the CHAMP .085 series with 50 position, 2 row configuration. Compatibility is limited to mating connectors and cable assemblies designed for this specific series and position count.
