TE Connectivity 650712-1 Card Edge Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 650712-1 is a 30-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 arrangement, and a thermoplastic insulation body. The part is classified as Active product status and is currently in stock with 1091 pieces available. Card edge connectors serve as interface components for printed circuit board edge connections in computing and industrial equipment, requiring direct substitution candidates that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure seamless integration into existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 650712-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: 30-position configuration, 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, dual-row arrangement, female gender, phosphor bronze contact material with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, and solder termination with staggered contact arrangement.

Mechanical Parameters: 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness tolerance, through-hole mounting configuration, thermoplastic insulation body, brown color, and integrated board guide feature.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS status, REACH classification, and ECCN designation are evaluated independently and do not disqualify substitution based on electrical or mechanical compatibility.

The substitute part 5650712-1 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and is therefore classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5650712-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 650712-1 across all functional parameters. Both connectors are Active product status and maintain identical specifications for position count, pitch, contact material, termination method, and mechanical form factor.

The primary differentiation between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 5650712-1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, whereas the 650712-1 is RoHS non-compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status. Selection between these parts should be based on applicable regulatory requirements for the end application and target market.

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are currently in active production with adequate inventory availability. The 5650712-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 650712-1 packaging specification is not defined.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5650712-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 650712-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5650712-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 650712-1. All critical parameters including position count, pitch spacing, contact material, gold plating thickness, termination method, and mechanical dimensions are identical. Direct substitution is supported from a functional compatibility standpoint.

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

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance and packaging. The 5650712-1 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, while the 650712-1 is RoHS non-compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status. The 5650712-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the target application and market. If RoHS3 compliance is required, the 5650712-1 is the appropriate choice. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part is functionally suitable. Consult applicable regulatory standards for your application.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB edge card thickness?

A: No. Both connectors are designed for 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness. This specification is identical across both parts and must match the actual PCB edge thickness in the application.

Q: What is the pitch spacing and how does it affect compatibility?

A: Both connectors feature 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing. This is the center-to-center distance between adjacent contact positions. The pitch must match the PCB edge connector footprint design. Both parts are identical in this specification.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Operating temperature specifications are not provided in the technical data for either part. Consult the manufacturer's detailed datasheets for thermal operating range information if high-temperature performance is required for your application.

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

A: The staggered termination configuration refers to the offset arrangement of solder contact points on the connector body. This design is identical in both the 650712-1 and 5650712-1 and affects PCB layout and soldering process requirements. Both parts use identical staggered termination.

Q: Is the board guide feature present on both connectors?

A: Yes. Both the 650712-1 and 5650712-1 include an integrated board guide feature. This feature provides mechanical alignment and support for the PCB edge during insertion and operation.
