3M 2534-60K2UG Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 2534-60K2UG is a shrouded rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 34-position, 2-row connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch provides board-to-board or cable interconnection in the 2500 series. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2534-60K2UG is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
Position count and row configuration (34 positions, 2 rows)
Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
Mounting method (Through Hole)
Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
Current and temperature ratings (1.75A, -55°C ~ 105°C)
Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The substitute parts D2534-6002-AR and N2534-6002-RB meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact material, insulation material, contact finish specifications, and regulatory compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability within the defined parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both D2534-6002-AR and N2534-6002-RB are functionally equivalent to the obsolete 2534-60K2UG based on core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these substitutes should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

D2534-6002-AR is recommended for applications requiring RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. This part operates in the D2500 series and is supplied in tube packaging.

N2534-6002-RB is recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance with maximum inventory availability. This part maintains the original 2500 series designation and is supplied in bulk packaging.

Both substitutes maintain identical mating pitch, row spacing, contact configuration, current rating, temperature range, and flammability certification as the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are D2534-6002-AR and N2534-6002-RB directly interchangeable with 2534-60K2UG?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent based on connector type, position count, pitch, shrouding, mounting method, fastening type, current rating, and operating temperature range. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established.

Q: What are the differences between the substitute parts?

A: D2534-6002-AR operates in the D2500 series with RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. N2534-6002-RB operates in the 2500 series with ROHS3 compliance and significantly higher inventory availability. Contact material differs (Brass vs. Copper Alloy), and insulation material specifications vary (PCT vs. PBT base formulations).

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (Tube vs. Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance considerations?

A: The original 2534-60K2UG is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Both substitutes are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, making them suitable for applications with modern regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: All three parts maintain a 1.75A current rating per contact.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: All three parts operate across -55°C to 105°C.
