3M 4624-7000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 4624-7000 is a 24-position rectangular plug connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for discrete or ribbon cable applications. This connector features gold-plated male pins rated for 26-28 AWG wire gauges and is configured in a 2-row layout with 0.100" pitch spacing. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production and environmentally regulated applications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory availability, design flexibility, or application-specific feature requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 4624-6000 is identified as an equivalent substitute for the 4624-7000 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both are 24-position plug connectors
• Pitch & Row Configuration: Identical 0.100" pitch with 2-row layout and 0.100" row spacing
• Contact System: Both feature male pin IDC termination with gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• Wire Compatibility: Both accept 26-28 AWG stranded or solid wire
• Electrical & Environmental Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

The primary difference between these parts is the connector feature designation: the 4624-7000 has a Closed End feature, while the 4624-6000 has a Feed Through feature. This distinction affects internal contact configuration but does not alter the external electrical or mechanical interface parameters required for substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4624-7000 and 4624-6000 are Active status components manufactured by 3M within the 4600 series. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry an MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific application requirement for connector feature type: Closed End versus Feed Through configuration. Both parts are suitable for current production applications requiring 24-position IDC rectangular plug connectors with gold contact finish and 26-28 AWG wire compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4624-6000 be used as a direct replacement for the 4624-7000?

A: The 4624-6000 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 4624-7000 for applications requiring a 24-position IDC plug connector with identical pitch, row configuration, and wire gauge specifications. The difference in connector features (Closed End versus Feed Through) must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Closed End and Feed Through features?

A: These features refer to internal contact configuration within the connector body. The selection between Closed End and Feed Through depends on the specific application design and signal routing requirements. Both configurations maintain the same external electrical interface and pin count.

Q: Are both parts suitable for ribbon cable applications?

A: Yes. Both the 4624-7000 and 4624-6000 accept discrete or ribbon cable with 26-28 AWG wire gauge and feature IDC termination technology designed for ribbon cable compatibility.

Q: What are the compliance and environmental ratings for these connectors?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry an MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity level. Both are suitable for regulated manufacturing environments and applications with environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Is there a difference in contact finish quality between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
