TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609214-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609214-1 is a jack modular connector with 6 positions and 2 contacts (RJ11) configured for 90° right-angle mounting. This unshielded connector is designed for through-hole solder termination and includes board guide and panel stop features. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute components necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across connector type, contact configuration, mounting orientation, and termination method.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 6609214-1 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 6p2c (RJ11)
• Mounting Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding Classification: Unshielded
• Port and Row Configuration: 1 Port, 1 Row

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 54601-906001WPLF meets all mandatory matching parameters and maintains equivalent RoHS and MSL compliance. Variations in contact material (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy), contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 15.0µin), housing material (polyester glass-filled versus thermoplastic), and feature set (board guide/panel stops versus board lock) do not prevent functional substitution when the core electrical and mechanical parameters remain aligned.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54601-906001WPLF is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 6609214-1. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 6p2c (RJ11) jack configuration, 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination, unshielded design, and single-port single-row layout.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Product Availability: The TE Connectivity 6609214-1 is classified as obsolete with limited remaining inventory (959 pieces). The Amphenol ICC substitute is designated Last Time Buy status with significantly higher available inventory (5032 pieces), providing a practical path for component procurement continuity.

Secondary Substitutes: The Amphenol ICC 54601-906001WPLF documentation indicates additional substitute options (87180-062LF and 5555165-5) are available within the Amphenol ecosystem for extended sourcing flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 54601-906001WPLF directly replace the TE Connectivity 6609214-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type (jack), contact configuration (6p2c RJ11), mounting orientation (90° right-angle), mounting method (through-hole), termination type (solder), and shielding classification (unshielded). Functional compatibility is established across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: Differences exist in contact material (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy), contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 15.0µin), housing material (polyester glass-filled versus thermoplastic), and mechanical features (board guide/panel stops versus board lock). These variations do not affect connector functionality or compatibility with mating RJ11 plugs.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity part listed as obsolete?

A: The TE Connectivity 6609214-1 is classified as obsolete, indicating it has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The Amphenol ICC substitute is designated Last Time Buy, meaning it remains available but with a defined end-of-life date. Transition to the substitute part is recommended for long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 6609214-1 and Amphenol ICC 54601-906001WPLF are RoHS compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness, and does it affect performance?

A: The TE Connectivity part specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold finish thickness, while the Amphenol ICC part specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). Both thicknesses provide adequate gold plating for electrical contact integrity in unshielded RJ11 applications. The difference reflects manufacturing process variation between suppliers and does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: Are there additional substitute options beyond the Amphenol ICC part?

A: The Amphenol ICC 54601-906001WPLF documentation references two additional substitutes: 87180-062LF and 5555165-5. These parts are available within the Amphenol ecosystem for extended sourcing options.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity 6609214-1 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided documentation. The Amphenol ICC 54601-906001WPLF specifies -40°C to 70°C operating temperature. For applications requiring specific temperature performance, the Amphenol ICC specification should be verified against system requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The Amphenol ICC 54601-906001WPLF is supplied in bulk packaging. The TE Connectivity original part packaging specification is not provided in the available documentation.
