TM5RC-64 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TM5RC-64 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, classified as a 6p4c (RJ11, RJ14) right-angle unshielded connector with through-hole solder termination. This connector is designed for applications requiring modular jack connectivity with board lock features and is currently listed as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TM5RC-64 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Jack modular connector
• Contact configuration: 6p4c (RJ11, RJ14)
• Orientation: 90° right-angle
• Mounting method: Through-hole solder termination
• Housing and contact materials: PBT with phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts
• Mechanical features: Board lock functionality
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 60°C

The substitute part TM5RC-64(50) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, differing only in packaging format and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TM5RC-64(50) serves as a direct functional equivalent to the TM5RC-64. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 6p4c modular jack connector configuration.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The TM5RC-64(50) is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original TM5RC-64 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or equivalent environmental regulations, the TM5RC-64(50) is the appropriate selection.

The TM5RC-64(50) is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating limited future availability. For new designs or long-term production requirements, component procurement planning should account for this lifecycle status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TM5RC-64(50) be used as a direct replacement for TM5RC-64?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical 6p4c modular jack connectors with 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and board lock features. The parts differ only in packaging format (bulk versus tray) and product lifecycle status.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging options?

A: TM5RC-64 is supplied in bulk packaging, while TM5RC-64(50) is supplied in tray packaging. This distinction affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not alter the connector's functional or electrical characteristics.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance status different between these parts?

A: The TM5RC-64 predates RoHS3 compliance requirements and is listed as non-compliant. The TM5RC-64(50) is a later production variant that meets ROHS3 standards. For applications in regulated markets or with environmental compliance requirements, the TM5RC-64(50) is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical contact material (phosphor bronze with gold finish), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 60°C), and electrical characteristics for 6p4c modular jack applications.

Q: What should be considered regarding component availability?

A: The TM5RC-64 is obsolete with no future production planned. The TM5RC-64(50) is designated Last Time Buy, indicating limited remaining inventory. For production planning, early procurement of the TM5RC-64(50) is recommended before availability is exhausted.
