Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 6-828588-0 with the active equivalent 1-5499160-1 is based on functional and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (60)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Style (Board to Cable/Wire)
• Series designation (AMP-Latch)

These parameters establish mechanical and electrical interchangeability for PCB layout, mating interface, and installation procedures. The substitute part 1-5499160-1 maintains all critical dimensional and functional specifications required for direct replacement in existing designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-5499160-1 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 6-828588-0. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and manufacturing continuity. The main part's obsolete classification creates supply chain risk that the active substitute resolves.

Compliance and Certification: The substitute part 1-5499160-1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in restricted substance directives. The main part lists RoHS status as not applicable, reflecting its obsolete classification prior to current compliance frameworks.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch specifications, mounting methodology, and shrouding design. The minor variations in contact dimensions (mating contact length difference of 0.006", post contact length difference of 0.008", and overall contact length difference of 0.013") fall within acceptable tolerances for through-hole solder termination and do not affect PCB layout or mating interface compatibility.

Contact Geometry Variation: The substitute part features square contact geometry compared to the circular geometry of the main part. Both contact shapes are compatible with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch receptacle designs and do not restrict interchangeability.

Thermal and Environmental Performance: The substitute part specifies operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and current rating of 1A, providing defined performance parameters absent from the main part specification. These ratings establish the operational envelope for the substitute component.

Moisture and Environmental Classification: Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-5499160-1 directly replace the 6-828588-0 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and shrouding configuration. The mechanical interface and PCB footprint are compatible. Minor variations in contact length and post dimensions do not affect PCB layout or mating performance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact shape difference (circular vs. square)?

A: Contact shape variation does not affect interchangeability with standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch receptacles. Both circular and square contact geometries are designed to mate with receptacles conforming to this pitch specification. The shape difference reflects manufacturing process variation between part revisions and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why does the substitute part specify operating temperature and current rating while the main part does not?

A: The main part's obsolete status predates current specification documentation standards. The substitute part's active status includes complete performance parameters. The specified -55°C to 105°C operating range and 1A current rating define the operational envelope for the substitute component and should be applied to designs utilizing the 1-5499160-1.

Q: What is the impact of the insulation color change from gray to black?

A: Insulation color is a visual identification feature without functional impact on electrical or mechanical performance. The color change reflects manufacturing updates in the active product line and does not affect connector operation or compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute part 1-5499160-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or interchangeability; it reflects distribution and handling specifications only.

Q: What compliance advantages does the substitute part provide?

A: The substitute part 1-5499160-1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components. This certification ensures compliance with restricted substance directives in current manufacturing and distribution environments. The main part's RoHS status is listed as not applicable, reflecting its obsolete classification.

Q: Are there any dimensional constraints that would prevent substitution?

A: Contact length variations between the parts are minimal (0.006" to 0.013" differences) and fall within acceptable tolerances for through-hole solder termination. Insulation height difference of 0.006" is negligible for PCB assembly. These dimensional variations do not create installation or performance constraints.

Q: How should inventory transition from the main part to the substitute part be managed?

A: Existing inventory of 6-828588-0 (1120 pieces) can be utilized in current production until depletion. Transition to the active substitute 1-5499160-1 (909 pieces in stock) should occur as existing inventory depletes. Both parts maintain identical functional specifications for board-level integration, allowing parallel use during transition periods.
