Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-650297-1 is functionally and mechanically equivalent to the obsolete 650297-1 connector across all critical parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The 650297-1 is classified as obsolete, while 5-650297-1 maintains active product status. For new designs or long-term procurement requirements, the active substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5-650297-1 substitute offers ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, compared to the non-compliant and REACH affected status of the original part. Systems subject to regulatory requirements in regions enforcing RoHS or REACH directives should utilize the substitute part.

Operating Temperature Specification: The substitute part provides an explicit operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, whereas the original part does not specify this parameter. Applications requiring documented thermal performance should reference the substitute part specifications.

Packaging Configuration: The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging, which may differ from the original part's unspecified packaging format. Procurement and assembly processes should account for this packaging difference.

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical specifications for connector position count, pitch, card thickness accommodation, contact materials, and termination method. Direct substitution is supported from a functional standpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-650297-1 substitute directly replace the 650297-1 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 5-650297-1 maintains complete mechanical and electrical equivalence to the 650297-1 across all critical parameters including position count (20), pitch (0.100"), card thickness range (0.054" to 0.071"), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold), and termination method (press-fit). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 650297-1 to 5-650297-1?

A: The 650297-1 is classified as obsolete, while 5-650297-1 maintains active product status. Additionally, the substitute part offers ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for applications subject to regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in connector dimensions or card accommodation between these parts?

A: No. Both parts accommodate card thickness between 0.054" and 0.071" (1.37mm to 1.80mm), maintain identical pitch spacing of 0.100" (2.54mm), and feature the same dual-row, 20-position configuration.

Q: Does the packaging difference between the parts affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format does not affect connector compatibility or performance. The 5-650297-1 is supplied in tray packaging, which may require adjustment to receiving, storage, and assembly procedures but does not impact the connector's functional or mechanical characteristics.

Q: What operating temperature range should be used for system design?

A: The 5-650297-1 substitute specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The original 650297-1 does not provide an explicit operating temperature specification. For applications requiring documented thermal performance, the substitute part's specification should be referenced.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts utilize phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Contact material and finish specifications are identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
