Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 650090-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions: 112
• Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Gender: Female
• Number of rows: 2
• Card thickness: 0.062" (1.57mm)
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Gold
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder, Staggered
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic

The substitute part 5650090-1 maintains all core compatibility parameters. Differences exist in card type designation (VLB/MCA versus Non Specified - Dual Edge), operating temperature maximum (105°C versus 85°C), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), and packaging configuration (standard versus bulk). These differences define the specific application contexts in which each part is appropriate.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

650090-1 Selection Criteria: The TE Connectivity 650090-1 is appropriate for applications requiring VLB and MCA card compatibility with extended operating temperature range to 105°C. This part is suitable for legacy systems and applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement. Standard packaging is suitable for lower-volume procurement and component-level inventory management.

5650090-1 Selection Criteria: The TE Connectivity 5650090-1 is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and bulk packaging configurations. This part operates within the -55°C to 85°C temperature range, which is suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. Bulk packaging is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments and supply chain consolidation. The non-specified dual edge card type designation indicates broader compatibility with dual-edge card configurations beyond the original VLB/MCA specification.

Compliance Considerations: Selection between these parts is primarily driven by RoHS compliance mandates. The 5650090-1 meets ROHS3 requirements, while the 650090-1 does not. Operating temperature range differences (20°C maximum temperature differential) must be evaluated against specific application thermal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5650090-1 directly replace the 650090-1 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application operating temperature does not exceed 85°C and RoHS3 compliance is either required or acceptable. The 650090-1 supports temperatures to 105°C, providing a 20°C higher maximum rating. Applications operating above 85°C require the 650090-1.

Q: What is the significance of the card type difference between VLB/MCA and Non Specified - Dual Edge?

A: The 650090-1 is specifically qualified for VLB (VESA Local Bus) and MCA (Micro Channel Architecture) card standards. The 5650090-1 is designated for non-specified dual edge configurations, indicating broader compatibility with dual-edge card types. Card type selection depends on the specific edge card standard used in the target application.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. Both parts share identical contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold, 30.0µin), pitch (0.050"), position count (112), and row configuration (2 rows). Electrical characteristics are equivalent.

Q: How does packaging affect component selection?

A: The 650090-1 is supplied in standard packaging, suitable for component-level procurement and lower-volume applications. The 5650090-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments where bulk quantities reduce per-unit cost and streamline supply chain logistics.

Q: What is the impact of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The 650090-1 operates from -55°C to 105°C, while the 5650090-1 operates from -55°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 85°C must use the 650090-1. Applications operating within the -55°C to 85°C range can use either part, with selection driven by RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a mandatory consideration for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is mandatory only when regulatory requirements or customer specifications explicitly require it. The 5650090-1 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 650090-1 is not. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the 5650090-1. Applications without RoHS mandates can use either part based on other selection criteria.
