Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 646489-1 and 5646489-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with 110 positions, 2.00mm pitch, 1.5A current rating, and 500Vrms voltage rating. They operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) with identical gold contact finish specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging configuration and regulatory compliance status. The 5646489-1 is supplied in Tube packaging and carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 646489-1 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 5646489-1 as a direct replacement for the 646489-1?

A: Yes, the 5646489-1 is a direct substitute for the 646489-1 in all applications where the connector specifications are the requirement. The Tube packaging does not affect connector functionality or board-level compatibility.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect installation or performance?

A: No. Packaging is a supply and handling consideration only. Both parts feature identical board edge mounting, through-hole right-angle termination, and press-fit contact technology. Installation procedures and performance characteristics are identical.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select the 5646489-1. For applications where RoHS compliance is not required, either part is suitable based on availability and packaging preference.

Q: Are both parts still in active production?

A: Yes. Both the 646489-1 and 5646489-1 maintain Active product status with confirmed inventory availability.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH status difference?

A: The 646489-1 carries REACH Affected status, indicating it may contain substances of concern under REACH regulations. The 5646489-1 shows Vendor Undefined REACH status. Applications subject to REACH compliance requirements should reference the specific regulatory obligations for their end-market.
