HARTING 09185606921 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HARTING 09185606921 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable applications. This shrouded 60-position connector operates across -55°C to 125°C and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. The component is ROHS3 compliant and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity for this connector series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HARTING 09185606921 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 60 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" row spacing
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded with 4-wall construction
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening
• Contact Materials & Finishes: Copper alloy with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Compliance & Environmental: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1, RoHS compliance

The 3M N3372-5002RB meets all critical substitution parameters. Minor variations in insulation material composition (PCT/Polyester vs. PBT), contact post length (0.112" vs. 0.177"), insulation height (0.340" vs. 0.335"), and operating temperature upper limit (105°C vs. 125°C) do not preclude functional equivalence in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HARTING 09185606921 and 3M N3372-5002RB are active products with equivalent regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific thermal requirements and PCB design constraints.

The HARTING 09185606921 supports continuous operation to 125°C, providing a 20°C margin above the 3M N3372-5002RB maximum of 105°C. Applications requiring sustained elevated-temperature performance should specify the HARTING part.

The 3M N3372-5002RB features a shorter contact post length (0.112" vs. 0.177"), which may be advantageous for PCB designs with limited board thickness or space constraints. Both parts maintain identical mating contact length and pitch specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in standard board-to-cable configurations.

Both connectors carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ROHS3/RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating, supporting equivalent use in regulated and moisture-sensitive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M N3372-5002RB directly replace the HARTING 09185606921 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is supported for applications operating at or below 105°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C must retain the HARTING 09185606921 due to its 125°C maximum operating temperature specification.

Q: Are the mating pitch and row spacing identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors specify 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" row spacing. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained for standard board-to-cable interconnections.

Q: What is the significance of the contact post length difference?

A: The HARTING part features 0.177" post length versus 0.112" for the 3M part. This difference affects solder joint geometry and PCB pad design. Verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution, particularly for designs with limited board thickness.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both connectors are UL94 V-0 rated, RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. Regulatory compliance is equivalent for standard industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these connectors?

A: The HARTING uses PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) glass-filled insulation, while the 3M uses PCT/Polyester glass-filled insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection does not affect standard electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are keying and mounting features identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors include keying slots and mounting flanges, supporting identical mechanical installation and polarization control in board-to-cable applications.
