3M 4626-6005 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 4626-6005 is a 26-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, feed-through capability, and is housed in a gray base material with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration across 2 rows.

The 4626-6005 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3M 4626-6005 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (26)
• 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)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Feed-through capability
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The 3M 4626-6000 meets all specified parameters and is classified as an active product within the same 4600 series, making it a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 4626-6005.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4626-6000 be used as a direct replacement for the 4626-6005?

A: Yes. The 4626-6000 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 4626-6005 across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, termination method, wire gauge compatibility, and contact specifications. No design modifications are required.

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

A: The 4626-6005 is classified as obsolete, while the 4626-6000 is an active product. The 4626-6000 is available in bulk packaging, whereas the 4626-6005 packaging specification was not provided. Both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 4626-6000 for the 4626-6005?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors feature identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing, mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line), and feed-through capability. Cable termination via IDC and wire gauge support (26-28 AWG, stranded or solid) are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 4626-6005 and 4626-6000 are ROHS3 compliant and carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting current environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts with a finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
