Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following compliance and certification factors:

RoHS Compliance Considerations: The TE Connectivity 826652-6 is RoHS Compliant. Molex parts 0901210126 and 0901210766 are ROHS3 Compliant, representing an enhanced compliance level. The 3M parts (929648-01-06-I and 929835-01-06-RK) are RoHS Compliant. All Samtec parts are ROHS3 Compliant. Applications requiring ROHS3 Compliant components should select from Molex or Samtec alternatives.

REACH Status: Molex parts include REACH Unaffected designation. The 3M parts include REACH Unaffected designation. Samtec parts include REACH Unaffected designation where specified. Applications subject to REACH regulations should confirm REACH status with the selected substitute.

Operating Temperature Range: The TE Connectivity 826652-6 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Samtec parts (HTSW and TSW series) extend the upper operating temperature to 125°C, providing enhanced thermal performance for high-temperature applications. The 3M parts operate from -40°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the primary part. Molex parts do not specify operating temperature ranges.

Current Rating: The TE Connectivity 826652-6 is rated for 5A. The 3M parts are rated for 2.5A, which is lower and may not be suitable for applications requiring the full 5A capacity. Samtec parts specify current rating as varying by wire gauge. Molex parts do not specify current ratings. Applications requiring sustained 5A current should confirm substitute part suitability.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: The TE Connectivity 826652-6 has MSL 1 (Unlimited). Most substitute parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited). Some Samtec variants specify MSL as Not Applicable. Applications with moisture sensitivity constraints should select parts with MSL 1 (Unlimited) designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the TE Connectivity 826652-6 with any of the listed parts?

A: Substitution is permissible when the application requirements align with the substitute part specifications. All listed parts share the critical parameters of 6 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and push-pull fastening. However, differences in contact finish, contact material, insulation material, operating temperature range, and current rating must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity part and Molex alternatives?

A: The Molex parts (0901210126 and 0901210766) maintain the same 6-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration. The primary differences are contact finish options (tin or gold mating surface), insulation material (polyester glass-filled instead of PBT), and insulation color (black instead of green). Molex parts do not specify operating temperature ranges or current ratings. Both Molex parts are ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: How do the Samtec parts differ from the TE Connectivity 826652-6?

A: Samtec parts (HTSW and TSW series) maintain the same 6-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and through-hole right-angle mounting. Key differences include contact material (phosphor bronze instead of brass), insulation material (liquid crystal polymer or polybutylene terephthalate), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and variable contact post lengths. Samtec parts are ROHS3 Compliant and include REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: Are there current rating limitations with substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 826652-6 is rated for 5A. The 3M parts are rated for 2.5A, which is insufficient for applications requiring the full 5A capacity. Samtec parts specify current rating as varying by wire gauge, requiring consultation of detailed specifications for specific wire gauge selections. Molex parts do not specify current ratings. Applications with 5A current requirements should confirm substitute part suitability before selection.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences?

A: Contact finish affects electrical performance, corrosion resistance, and cost. The TE Connectivity 826652-6 features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. Substitute parts offer variations including tin-plated mating surfaces (Molex 0901210126, 3M 929835-01-06-RK) or gold-plated posts (3M 929648-01-06-I, Samtec HTSW-106-09-G-S-RA). Gold finishes provide superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Tin finishes are cost-effective for non-corrosive environments. Selection depends on environmental exposure and electrical performance requirements.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a lower current rating?

A: Substitution with a lower current rating is permissible only when the application current demand does not exceed the substitute part rating. The 3M parts rated for 2.5A cannot be used in applications requiring 5A continuous current. Exceeding the current rating of a connector can result in excessive heat generation, contact degradation, and circuit failure. Applications must confirm that substitute part current ratings meet or exceed actual application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between MSL 1 (Unlimited) and Not Applicable?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has minimal moisture sensitivity and does not require special moisture control during storage and handling. Not Applicable indicates the component is not subject to moisture sensitivity classification, typically because the component design or material composition does not absorb moisture. For applications in humid environments or with extended storage periods, parts with MSL 1 (Unlimited) designation are preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for board-to-board applications?

A: Most substitute parts support both board-to-board and cable applications. However, the 3M parts (929648-01-06-I and 929835-01-06-RK) are specified for board-to-board style only, not cable applications. Applications requiring cable connectivity should select from TE Connectivity, Molex, or Samtec alternatives that specify "Board to Board or Cable" style.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 Compliant designation?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3, which includes additional restricted substances beyond the original RoHS directive. ROHS3 Compliant parts meet stricter environmental standards and are required for applications subject to enhanced environmental regulations. The TE Connectivity 826652-6 is RoHS Compliant (original directive). Molex and Samtec alternatives are ROHS3 Compliant, representing enhanced compliance. Applications requiring ROHS3 Compliant components should select from these alternatives.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges affect part selection?

A: The TE Connectivity 826652-6 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Samtec parts extend the upper limit to 125°C, suitable for high-temperature applications. The 3M parts operate from -40°C to 105°C, which is narrower at the lower end. Molex parts do not specify operating temperature ranges. Applications operating at temperatures below -40°C or above 105°C require careful evaluation of substitute part specifications. Extended temperature range parts (Samtec) are suitable for demanding thermal environments.
