150260-5002-TH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 150260-5002-TH is a 60-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by 3M, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board applications. This connector features 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch mating contacts with gold plating and operates across -55°C to 105°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 150260-5002-TH is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (60)
• Mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Contact finish material (Gold)
• Current rating (1A minimum)
• Voltage rating (500VDC minimum)

The 950460-5002-AR qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact finish thickness, insulation height, contact post length, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical interfaces remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 950460-5002-AR is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 150260-5002-TH. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the interface level.

The 950460-5002-AR offers the following advantages:

• Active product status with current manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance, meeting modern regulatory requirements
• Higher voltage rating (1000VDC vs. 500VDC), providing additional design margin
• Equivalent current rating and flammability certification

The operating temperature range of the 950460-5002-AR (-40°C to 105°C) is narrower at the lower bound compared to the 150260-5002-TH (-55°C to 105°C). Applications requiring operation below -40°C must account for this limitation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 950460-5002-AR directly replace the 150260-5002-TH in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (0.079"), position count (60), row configuration (2), and mounting type (through-hole right-angle). The physical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The 950460-5002-AR has a 1000VDC rating versus 500VDC for the 150260-5002-TH. This higher rating does not affect compatibility; it provides additional design margin for applications operating at or below 500VDC.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status affect substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and procurement consideration, not a functional compatibility issue. The 950460-5002-AR meets modern environmental standards, making it preferable for new designs and applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: Are there temperature range implications for substitution?

A: The 950460-5002-AR operates from -40°C to 105°C, compared to -55°C to 105°C for the 150260-5002-TH. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must use the original part or identify alternative solutions.

Q: What are the differences in contact post specifications?

A: The 150260-5002-TH has a 0.100" (2.54mm) contact post with 200.0µin tin-lead finish. The 950460-5002-AR has a 0.118" (3.00mm) contact post with 40.0µin tin finish. These differences do not affect mating compatibility but may impact PCB design considerations for solder joint geometry.

Q: Is the insulation height difference significant?

A: The 150260-5002-TH has 0.179" (4.55mm) insulation height; the 950460-5002-AR has 0.191" (4.85mm). This minor difference does not affect functional compatibility or standard PCB layouts.
