TE Connectivity 650616-1 Card Edge Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 650616-1 is a 98-position female card edge connector from the Standard Edge II series, designed for through-hole solder termination applications. This connector features a special 18/31 dual combo configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The connector accommodates card thicknesses between 0.054" and 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm) and utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating. The part is currently active in production. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, and packaging preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 650616-1 card edge connector is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• 98-position contact count
• Special 18/31 dual combo card type configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• Female gender
• Dual read-out configuration
• Phosphor bronze contact material with gold finish (30.0µin thickness)
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Card thickness accommodation of 0.054" to 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm)
• Two-row connector layout
• Through-hole mounting
• Solder termination
• Polyester glass-filled insulation body
• Black color

Packaging and Compliance Considerations:

• Packaging format (bulk versus tray)
• RoHS compliance status
• REACH compliance status

The substitute part 5650616-1 maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 650616-1 across all specified parameters. The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The 5650616-1 substitute part is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 650616-1 across all functional parameters. Selection between these two parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and packaging format needs.

RoHS Compliance Consideration:

The 650616-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5650616-1 is RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance must use the 5650616-1 substitute part.

REACH Compliance Consideration:

The 650616-1 is REACH Affected, while the 5650616-1 is REACH Unaffected. Applications operating under REACH regulatory frameworks or requiring REACH-unaffected components should specify the 5650616-1 substitute part.

Packaging Format Consideration:

The 650616-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 5650616-1 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly line requirements, handling procedures, and inventory management protocols.

Inventory and Availability:

Both parts are active in production with current inventory availability. The 5650616-1 maintains higher inventory levels (1421 pieces) compared to the 650616-1 (725 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 650616-1 and 5650616-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 98-position female card edge connectors with identical electrical specifications, including pitch, contact material, contact finish, and operating temperature range. They are fully electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (bulk versus tray), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus compliant), and REACH compliance status (affected versus unaffected). All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should I use if my application requires RoHS compliance?

A: The 5650616-1 is RoHS Compliant and must be used for applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I use the 650616-1 in place of the 5650616-1?

A: Substitution depends on regulatory requirements. If RoHS or REACH compliance is not required, the 650616-1 can be used. If compliance is required, the 5650616-1 must be specified.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on assembly line handling, storage, and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. Both the 650616-1 and 5650616-1 are active products with current inventory in stock.

Q: What card thickness range does this connector accommodate?

A: Both connectors accommodate card thicknesses between 0.054" and 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm).

Q: What is the pitch spacing of these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing with a special 18/31 dual combo configuration across 98 positions arranged in two rows.
