TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 650090-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 650090-3 is an 80-position female card edge connector designed for dual edge applications with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing. This connector features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, through-hole solder termination with staggered configuration, and a brown thermoplastic insulation body. The connector accommodates 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The product maintains active status in the Standard Edge .050 series. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining functional equivalence.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 650090-3 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 5650090-3 maintains functional compatibility through identical specifications in the following key parameters:

• 80-position configuration
• 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing
• Female gender
• Dual edge card type
• 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness
• 2-row arrangement
• Phosphor bronze contact material with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• Through-hole solder termination with staggered configuration
• Board guide feature
• Thermoplastic insulation
• Brown color
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

Differences between the main part and substitute are limited to operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status, which do not affect mechanical or electrical substitutability for applications within the overlapping temperature specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5650090-3 serves as a direct substitute for the 650090-3 within the overlapping operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. Both parts maintain active product status and identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical connector parameters.

Selection between these parts is determined by compliance requirements and temperature application constraints:

650090-3 is appropriate for applications requiring operation up to 105°C or where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or required by specification.

5650090-3 is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or where operation is limited to 85°C maximum. This substitute provides enhanced environmental compliance while maintaining full functional equivalence within its specified temperature range.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical packaging, termination methodology, contact configuration, and mechanical form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 650090-3 and 5650090-3 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 80-position configuration, 0.050" pitch, dual edge card type, 0.062" card thickness, 2-row arrangement, through-hole mounting, and board guide feature. Physical form factor and PCB footprint are identical.

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

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status. The 650090-3 operates to 105°C and is RoHS non-compliant. The 5650090-3 operates to 85°C and is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Can I use the 5650090-3 in an application designed for the 650090-3?

A: The 5650090-3 is suitable for applications operating within -55°C to 85°C. If your application requires operation above 85°C, the 5650090-3 is not appropriate. If your application operates within the -55°C to 85°C range, the 5650090-3 provides equivalent functionality with improved compliance status.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature phosphor bronze contacts with 30.0µin gold plating, identical pitch spacing, position count, and contact material composition. Electrical performance is equivalent within their respective operating temperature ranges.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean for the 5650090-3?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. The 650090-3 does not carry this certification.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging as specified by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: Can these connectors be used with different card thicknesses?

A: No. Both connectors are designed specifically for 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness. Use with different card thicknesses will result in improper contact engagement and connector failure.

Q: What is the significance of the staggered termination configuration?

A: Staggered termination distributes the solder connection points across the PCB to optimize mechanical strength and thermal distribution during wave soldering or reflow processes. This configuration is identical on both parts.
