3M 4614-6200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 4614-6200 is a 14-position rectangular plug connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for discrete or ribbon cable applications with wire gauges of 26-28 AWG. This connector features gold-plated contacts, a 0.100" pitch configuration with 2-row layout, and latch lock/eject hook fastening. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable in-line connectivity.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same connector series, allowing for interchangeability in circuit designs and assembly processes.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 4614-6200 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (14)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (26-28 AWG)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The identified substitute, 3M 4614-6000, maintains all electrical and mechanical equivalence to the main part. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tray) and fastening type specification, neither of which affects functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4614-6200 and 4614-6000 are Active status components from the 3M 4600 series, maintaining full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance, as all functional parameters are equivalent.

The 4614-6200 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 4614-6000 is supplied in Tray packaging. Inventory availability and procurement specifications should guide part selection for production and assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 4614-6000 be used as a direct replacement for 4614-6200?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent 14-position IDC plug connectors with identical pitch, row spacing, wire gauge compatibility, and contact specifications. The difference in packaging format does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between Bulk and Tray?

A: Packaging format affects supply chain logistics and handling procedures but does not impact connector performance or compatibility. Bulk packaging is typically used for high-volume applications, while Tray packaging provides organized component management for assembly operations.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same wire gauge applications?

A: Yes. Both 4614-6200 and 4614-6000 accommodate 26-28 AWG wire in stranded or solid configuration through IDC termination, ensuring compatibility across discrete and ribbon cable applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), meeting identical environmental and regulatory standards for industrial and commercial use.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the 4614-6200?

A: Substitution eligibility requires equivalence in connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, IDC termination method, wire gauge range, contact finish specifications, and compliance certifications. Packaging and fastening type variations do not prevent substitution.
