Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2530-6002UG is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (30), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in applications originally designed for the 2530-6002UG.

Secondary parameters including contact material, contact finish composition, insulation material, and operating temperature ranges may vary within acceptable tolerances. Parts are grouped by manufacturer and product status to facilitate procurement decisions based on availability and compliance requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the following active parts are suitable: D2530-6002-AR, N2530-6002-RB, 0702463001, 0702463002, 0878343011, 0878343041, 52601-S30-4LF, and SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK. All are classified as active products with ROHS3 or RoHS compliant status.

For applications with REACH compliance requirements, parts with REACH Unaffected status are preferred: D2530-6002-AR, N2530-6002-RB, 0702463001, 0702463002, 0878343011, 0878343041, 52601-S30-4LF, and SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK.

The 3M D2530-6002-AR and N2530-6002-RB maintain the same series lineage and are manufacturer-recommended equivalents. The Molex C-Grid series (0702463001, 0702463002, 0878343011, 0878343041) and Amphenol ICC Quickie series (52601-S30-4LF, 78280-430) provide cross-manufacturer alternatives with established market presence. The Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK offers higher current rating (3A versus 1.75A) and extended temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2530-6002UG be directly replaced with D2530-6002-AR?

A: Yes. The D2530-6002-AR is a manufacturer-recommended equivalent from 3M's active product line. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, shrouding, mounting type, termination method, and fastening type. The D2530-6002-AR is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, addressing regulatory requirements of the obsolete 2530-6002UG.

Q: What are the key differences between 3M and Molex substitutes?

A: 3M substitutes (D2530-6002-AR, N2530-6002-RB) maintain the same series architecture and contact material options. Molex C-Grid series (0702463001, 0702463002, 0878343011, 0878343041) employ different insulation materials and contact materials (phosphor bronze or copper alloy) while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Contact length specifications vary slightly across manufacturers but remain within functional tolerance for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting parts?

A: Yes. The 2530-6002UG is listed with unspecified packaging. Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: tube (D2530-6002-AR), bulk (N2530-6002-RB, 0702463002, 78280-430), and tray (0702463001, 0878343011, 52601-S30-4LF, SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK). Packaging selection should align with procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the highest current rating?

A: The Sullins SBH11-PBPC-D15-ST-BK provides 3A current rating compared to 1.75A for the original part and most substitutes. This part also features an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and offers multiple mated stacking heights (9.65mm, 11.2mm, 13.35mm, 18.35mm).

Q: Are all substitutes suitable for automotive applications?

A: The Molex C-Grid series (0702463001, 0702463002, 0878343011, 0878343041) explicitly list automotive applications. Other substitutes do not specify automotive qualification in the provided data. Automotive application requirements should be confirmed with manufacturer documentation before final part selection.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: RoHS Compliant indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant indicates conformance to the updated directive (2011/65/EU as amended by 2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. Both designations indicate compliance with current regulatory requirements; ROHS3 represents the current standard.
