TE Connectivity 87499-2 Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 87499-2 is a 7-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for the AMPMODU Mod IV series. This component functions as a housing for crimp-terminated contacts with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the defined parameter specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87499-2 are categorized into two groups based on substitution logic:

Parametric Equivalent (87499-1): This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical specifications. Both parts share the same manufacturer (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors), series designation (AMPMODU Mod IV), connector type (receptacle), position count (7), pitch (0.100"), row configuration (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), color (black), insulation material (thermoplastic), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and compliance certifications (RoHS, MSL 1). The 87499-1 differs only in packaging quantity and inventory availability, making it a direct functional replacement.

Similar Manufacturer Part (67013-007LF): This substitute is classified as a similar part rather than a parametric equivalent due to category and material differences. While it maintains compatibility in critical parameters—number of positions (7), pitch (0.100"), row configuration (1), connector type (housing for female contacts), RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating—it differs in product category (FFC/FPC connector versus rectangular connector), insulation material (polybutylene terephthalate glass-filled versus thermoplastic), and operating temperature range (extends to 125°C versus 105°C). The 67013-007LF is suitable for applications requiring flat flexible cable integration or enhanced thermal performance.

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Number of positions: 7
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 1
• Connector type: Receptacle housing
• Contact termination: Crimp
• RoHS compliance: Required
• MSL rating: Level 1

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

87499-1 Selection: The 87499-1 is the primary substitute for the 87499-2 when direct replacement is required. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters, with the 87499-1 offering significantly higher inventory availability (5033 pieces versus 848 pieces). Selection of the 87499-1 is appropriate for applications where parametric equivalence is mandatory and no design modifications are acceptable. Both parts carry Active product status and full RoHS compliance with MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring equivalent reliability and regulatory compliance.

67013-007LF Selection: The 67013-007LF is suitable as a substitute when application requirements permit integration with flat flexible cable systems or when enhanced thermal performance (125°C operating range) is beneficial. This part maintains the critical position count (7), pitch (0.100"), and row configuration (1) required for mechanical compatibility. The polybutylene terephthalate glass-filled insulation material provides improved thermal and mechanical properties compared to standard thermoplastic. Selection of the 67013-007LF requires confirmation that the FFC/FPC connector category and housing design are compatible with the target application's mechanical and electrical architecture. All three parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 87499-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 87499-2?

A: Yes. The 87499-1 is a parametric equivalent with identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count (7), pitch (0.100"), mounting configuration, contact termination method, operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and compliance certifications. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between the 87499-2 and the 67013-007LF?

A: The primary differences are product category (rectangular connector versus FFC/FPC connector), insulation material (thermoplastic versus polybutylene terephthalate glass-filled), and maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 125°C). Both maintain the same position count (7), pitch (0.100"), and row configuration (1). The 67013-007LF is designed for flat flexible cable applications, while the 87499-2 is designed for standard rectangular connector applications.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 87499-2, 87499-1, and 67013-007LF are all RoHS compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance across all substitute options.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 rating mean for these connector housings?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. These connector housings can be stored and handled without special moisture-sensitive device (MSD) precautions, simplifying inventory management and reducing handling costs.

Q: Can the 67013-007LF be used in applications designed for the 87499-2?

A: The 67013-007LF maintains compatibility in critical parameters (7 positions, 0.100" pitch, single row, receptacle housing, RoHS compliance). However, substitution requires confirmation that the FFC/FPC connector category and housing design are compatible with the application's mechanical interface and electrical requirements. The enhanced operating temperature range (125°C) may provide additional performance margin in high-temperature environments.

Q: What is the significance of the "Contacts Not Included" note?

A: This note indicates that the connector housings are supplied without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and installed through the crimp termination process. This is standard for modular connector systems like the AMPMODU Mod IV series, allowing flexibility in contact material and specification selection based on application requirements.

Q: How do inventory levels affect part selection?

A: The 87499-1 offers substantially higher inventory availability (5033 pieces) compared to the 87499-2 (848 pieces), potentially providing shorter lead times and improved supply chain reliability. For applications with extended production schedules or high-volume requirements, the 87499-1 may be the preferred selection based on availability alone, with the assurance of parametric equivalence.
