Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 650092-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position and Pitch Compatibility: The substitute part must maintain 182 positions with a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing card edge designs.

Electrical Configuration: Dual-row configuration with identical contact material (phosphor bronze) and gold finish specifications (30.0µin thickness) ensures signal integrity and contact resistance characteristics remain unchanged.

Mechanical Compatibility: Card thickness tolerance of 0.062" (1.57mm), through-hole mounting, and staggered solder termination must be preserved to maintain board-level assembly compatibility.

Physical Characteristics: Brown color, thermoplastic insulation material, and board guide features must align with the original design specifications.

The substitute part 5650092-1 meets all these criteria while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5650092-1 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 650092-1 model. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing applications.

Product Status Advantage: The 5650092-1 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence limitation of the original part. This ensures long-term component availability for production and field replacement scenarios.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part achieves RoHS compliance, aligning with modern environmental and regulatory requirements. Organizations transitioning from legacy systems benefit from this improved compliance posture without sacrificing electrical or mechanical performance.

Inventory Availability: The 5650092-1 is available in bulk packaging with significantly higher stock levels (1841 pieces) compared to the original part, supporting both new production and maintenance requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All contact specifications, termination methods, and mechanical tolerances remain unchanged, eliminating the need for board redesign or assembly process modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5650092-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 650092-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5650092-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 650092-1 across all specified parameters, including position count, pitch, contact material, finish thickness, and termination method. No design modifications are required.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 650092-1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5650092-1 is an active product with RoHS compliance. All functional specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with board-level assembly?

A: No. Both connectors feature identical card thickness tolerance (0.062"), through-hole mounting, staggered solder termination, and board guide features. Assembly processes and PCB designs require no modification.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance of the 5650092-1 affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental impact, not electrical characteristics. The contact material, finish specifications, and electrical properties remain unchanged.

Q: What packaging options are available for the 5650092-1?

A: The 5650092-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, with current inventory of 1841 pieces available.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness, ensuring equivalent contact resistance and signal integrity.

Q: Can the 5650092-1 be used in new product designs?

A: Yes. The active product status and RoHS compliance of the 5650092-1 make it suitable for new designs, legacy system support, and field replacements.
