3M 4610-6355 Rectangular Connector Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 4610-6355 is a 10-position rectangular plug connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for discrete or ribbon cable applications in the 26-28 AWG wire gauge range. This connector features gold-plated contacts, dual-row configuration with 0.100" pitch spacing, and latch lock/eject hook fastening. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production and legacy system maintenance applications. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, packaging requirements, or supply chain considerations necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 4610-6350 is identified as a direct substitute for the 4610-6355 based on strict parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications:

• Connector type, position count, and pitch configuration
• IDC cable termination with 26-28 AWG wire gauge support
• Gold contact finish with identical thickness specification
• Dual-row layout with matching row spacing and fastening mechanism
• Identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the 4610-6355 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 4610-6350 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect connector performance, compatibility, or electrical characteristics. Substitution is valid for applications where bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4610-6355 and 4610-6350 are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• The 4610-6355 is suitable for standard packaging applications and current inventory availability of 747 pieces.
• The 4610-6350 is suitable for bulk packaging applications and offers higher inventory availability of 1009 pieces.

Both parts meet identical compliance requirements (ROHS3, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4051) and are suitable for production and maintenance applications without functional or performance differentiation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 4610-6355 and 4610-6350 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications including contact finish (gold, 30.0µin thickness), wire gauge support (26-28 AWG), and IDC termination method. They are fully interchangeable from an electrical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?
