TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 650917-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 650917-5 is a 48-position DIN plug connector with male pins, gold contact finish, and through-hole press-fit termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The Eurocard series connector operates across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Due to its obsolete status and RoHS non-compliant classification, substitute parts with active product status and modern compliance certifications are necessary for procurement and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 650917-5 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters: connector category (Backplane Connectors), number of positions (48), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of rows (3), mounting type (Through Hole), contact finish (Gold), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and operating temperature range compatibility.

The substitute parts identified fall into two distinct groupings:

Group 1: Direct Backplane Connector Substitutes HARTING 09281486904 and HARTING 09283486902 are backplane connectors within the DIN 41612 series. Both maintain 48 positions, 0.100" pitch, 3-row configuration, and through-hole mounting. These parts share the same connector category and dimensional compatibility with the original part. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, addressing the obsolescence and compliance limitations of the original part.

Group 2: Non-Compatible Alternative HARTING 09455511122 is a modular connector (RJ45/8p8c jack) and does not meet the substitution criteria. This part differs fundamentally in connector type, number of positions (8p8c versus 48), category (Modular Connectors versus Backplane Connectors), and physical configuration. This part is included in the original substitute list but is not electrically or mechanically compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HARTING 09283486902 is the primary substitute for the TE Connectivity 650917-5 in applications requiring direct functional equivalence. This part maintains identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), matching the thermal requirements of the original connector. Both parts feature UL94 V-0 flammability rating, 48 positions, 0.100" pitch, 3-row configuration, and through-hole mounting. The 09283486902 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, eliminating procurement and regulatory constraints associated with the obsolete original part. The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but provides improved mechanical reliability. The Gold-Palladium contact finish offers equivalent or superior electrical performance compared to gold-only contacts.

HARTING 09281486904 serves as a secondary substitute when panel-mount configuration is acceptable. This part maintains 48 positions, 0.100" pitch, 3-row configuration, and press-fit termination matching the original assembly method. However, the operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) is narrower than the original specification, restricting use in applications requiring the full -55°C to 125°C range. This part is suitable for standard industrial environments within the reduced temperature window. ROHS3 compliance and active product status provide modern procurement advantages.

HARTING 09455511122 is not suitable as a substitute. This modular RJ45 connector operates in a different connector category with fundamentally different electrical and mechanical characteristics. Selection of this part would require complete system redesign and is not recommended for direct replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HARTING 09281486904 directly replace the TE Connectivity 650917-5 in all applications?

A: HARTING 09281486904 is compatible for applications operating within -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range of the original part must use HARTING 09283486902 instead. The panel-mount configuration of 09281486904 may also require PCB layout modifications compared to the original through-hole plug design.

Q: What is the primary difference between HARTING 09281486904 and HARTING 09283486902?

A: HARTING 09281486904 features panel-mount configuration with a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and press-fit termination. HARTING 09283486902 features PCB-mount through-hole configuration with the full extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and solder termination. Both maintain 48 positions and 0.100" pitch.

Q: Does the change from press-fit to solder termination affect compatibility?

A: Termination method change requires PCB design modification. Press-fit termination uses mechanical insertion into plated through-holes, while solder termination requires wave or reflow soldering. The connector footprint and hole pattern may differ. Engineering review of PCB layout is necessary before implementation.

Q: Are the HARTING substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Both HARTING 09281486904 and HARTING 09283486902 are ROHS3 compliant, addressing the RoHS non-compliant status of the original TE Connectivity part. This compliance status is mandatory for many modern procurement and regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is HARTING 09455511122 listed as a substitute if it is not compatible?

A: HARTING 09455511122 appears in the original substitute list provided but does not meet the electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria for backplane connector substitution. This part is a modular RJ45 connector with 8 positions and operates in a different connector category. It is not recommended for replacement of the 650917-5.

Q: What is the significance of the Gold-Palladium contact finish on HARTING 09283486902?

A: Gold-Palladium contact finish provides equivalent electrical conductivity to gold-only contacts while offering improved wear resistance and corrosion protection. This finish is suitable for applications with frequent mating cycles and harsh environmental conditions. The flash thickness (0.38µm) ensures adequate contact performance across the operating temperature range.

Q: Can the original TE Connectivity 650917-5 still be procured?

A: The TE Connectivity 650917-5 is classified as obsolete. Current inventory availability is limited to existing stock (709 pieces reported). For new designs and long-term procurement, transition to active substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity and compliance with modern regulatory requirements.
