3M 3419-6030 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 3419-6030 is a 30-position rectangular receptacle connector designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with ribbon cable. This connector features gold-plated contacts rated for 26-28 AWG wire gauges and is configured with 2 rows at 0.100" pitch spacing. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 3419-6030 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector configuration: 30-position receptacle with 2-row arrangement
• Contact pitch and spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Termination method: IDC cable termination for ribbon cable
• Contact finish: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and signal integrity
• Wire gauge compatibility: 26-28 AWG primary specification, with tolerance for 28-30 AWG variants
• Mounting orientation: Free hanging in-line configuration
• Compliance standards: RoHS compliance required

The identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring 30-position IDC ribbon cable connectors with gold-plated contacts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1658620-7 is the manufacturer-recommended primary substitute. This part maintains active product status and full RoHS compliance. The connector shares identical pitch, row configuration, and IDC termination specifications with the original 3M part. Wire gauge compatibility is direct at 26-28 AWG. The AMP-Latch series design provides equivalent mechanical and electrical performance for ribbon cable applications.

Amphenol ICC 71600-230LF serves as an alternative substitute with active product status and RoHS compliance. This Quickie™ series connector accommodates the specified 26-28 AWG range through its 28-30 AWG specification, providing overlap compatibility. The connector includes additional features such as polarizing key and strain relief, which enhance mechanical robustness in field applications. REACH compliance status is documented as affected, requiring verification for regulated market applications.

Both substitute parts are currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 3M original.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1658620-7 directly replace the 3M 3419-6030 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 30-position configuration, 0.100" pitch spacing, IDC termination method, and 26-28 AWG wire gauge specification. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between the 3M part (26-28 AWG) and the Amphenol ICC part (28-30 AWG)?

A: The Amphenol ICC 71600-230LF specification of 28-30 AWG overlaps with the original 26-28 AWG range at 28 AWG. This overlap ensures compatibility for ribbon cables within the common gauge range. Applications using exclusively 26 AWG wire should prioritize the TE Connectivity substitute for exact specification alignment.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when transitioning from the obsolete 3M part to active substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 1658620-7 is supplied in tube packaging, while the Amphenol ICC 71600-230LF is also tube-packaged. Both packaging formats are standard for production environments and do not affect connector functionality or installation procedures.

Q: Do both substitute parts maintain the same RoHS compliance status as the original?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 1658620-7 and Amphenol ICC 71600-230LF are RoHS compliant, matching the compliance profile of the 3M 3419-6030. MSL ratings are identical at Level 1 (Unlimited) for all three parts.

Q: What distinguishes the contact type differences noted between the parts?

A: The 3M 3419-6030 and Amphenol ICC 71600-230LF both feature female socket contacts. The TE Connectivity 1658620-7 specifies forked contacts. Both contact geometries are designed for IDC termination and provide equivalent electrical performance in ribbon cable applications. Contact type selection should be based on mating connector requirements in the specific application.
