TE Connectivity 650091-2 Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 650091-2 is a 132-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 with integrated board guide. The part maintains active product status and is currently available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when packaging requirements differ. Substitutes maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical core specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 650091-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions: 132
• Pitch spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Gender: Female

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Card type: Non Specified - Dual Edge
• Number of rows: 2
• Card thickness: 0.062" (1.57mm)
• Termination configuration: Solder, Staggered
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Board guide feature: Present

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN classification: EAR99
• HTSUS code: 8536.69.4040

Substitute parts must maintain identical values across all listed parameters. Packaging format and RoHS compliance status are independent variables that do not affect functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 650091-2 and 5650091-2 are functionally equivalent card edge connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and compliance mandates rather than technical performance differences.

650091-2 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable
• Standard packaging requirements
• Existing inventory availability (804 pcs in stock)

5650091-2 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Bulk packaging requirements
• Higher inventory availability (1148 pcs in stock)
• Applications with defined operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C

Both parts maintain identical contact performance, termination reliability, and mechanical fit. The choice between these substitutes depends on regulatory compliance requirements and packaging specifications rather than functional capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 650091-2 and 5650091-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical electrical specifications including 132 positions, 0.050" pitch, phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness, and solder termination configuration. They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and RoHS compliance status. The 5650091-2 is ROHS3 compliant while the 650091-2 is RoHS non-compliant. The 5650091-2 also specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Q: Can I use the 5650091-2 as a direct replacement for the 650091-2 in my PCB assembly?

A: Yes, the 5650091-2 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute. Both connectors have identical board guide features, through-hole mounting configuration, and card thickness specifications. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of the 5650091-2 affect its performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect connector performance. Bulk packaging is a supply and handling consideration only and does not impact electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design requiring regulatory compliance?

A: The 5650091-2 should be specified for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. Both parts are functionally equivalent, but the 5650091-2 meets current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature limitations I should consider?

A: The 5650091-2 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The 650091-2 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. For applications with defined temperature requirements, the 5650091-2 provides explicit thermal specifications.

Q: Can I mix these two part numbers in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical, they can be used interchangeably within the same assembly without functional impact.
