The 3M 2316-6121-TG is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact inventory management and handling procedures.

Q: What is the voltage rating for the substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-146220-1 has a 30VAC voltage rating. Molex C-Grid 70280 parts do not specify voltage rating. Amphenol BERGSTIK® II series parts do not specify voltage rating. The 3M 2316-6121-TG does not specify voltage rating. For applications requiring explicit voltage rating confirmation, contact the respective manufacturers.

Q: Can I mix contact finishes within a single connector assembly?

A: All identified parts are supplied as complete assemblies with uniform contact finish across all positions. Individual contact finish selection is not available for these standard header configurations. Select the part number corresponding to the required finish specification for the entire connector.

Q: What is the difference between Tin and Gold contact finishes?

A: Gold finish (0.127µm to 0.76µm thickness) provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, suitable for low-signal applications and harsh environments. Tin finish (2.54µm to 100.0µm thickness) offers cost efficiency and adequate performance for general-purpose applications. The TE Connectivity 1-146220-1 uses Gold mating finish for enhanced reliability.
