Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 4634-7200 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: All substitutes must be 34-position plug connectors
• Pitch & Row Configuration: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 2-row arrangement is mandatory
• Cable Termination Method: IDC termination is required for compatibility
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 26-28 AWG support is essential
• Contact Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness ensures electrical performance
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained across all substitutes

The identified substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Category 1 - 3M Series 4600 (Same Manufacturer)

• 3M 4634-6000: Feed-through variant without fastening specification
• 3M 4634-6200: Feed-through variant with latch lock/eject hook fastening

Category 2 - Cross-Manufacturer Alternative

• TE Connectivity 2-111494-1: AMP-Latch series with panel mount configuration

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3M 4634-6000 and 3M 4634-6200 are direct substitutes within the 3M 4600 series. Both maintain identical electrical specifications, pitch, position count, and contact finish. The primary difference is the end-of-line feature: 4634-6000 features a feed-through design without specified fastening, while 4634-6200 includes latch lock/eject hook fastening identical to the main part. Selection between these variants depends on mechanical mounting requirements in the application.

TE Connectivity 2-111494-1 provides cross-manufacturer compatibility with identical electrical parameters and contact specifications. This part operates in the AMP-Latch series and features panel mount configuration versus the free-hanging in-line mounting of the 3M variants. The TE part supports ribbon cable specifically, whereas 3M variants support both discrete and ribbon cable. This substitute is suitable for applications where panel-mounted connector architecture is required.

All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3M 4634-6000 directly replace 3M 4634-7200?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, pitch (0.100"), position count (34), row configuration (2), wire gauge support (26-28 AWG), and contact finish (gold, 30.0µin). The primary difference is the end-of-line feature: 4634-6000 is feed-through without specified fastening, while 4634-7200 includes latch lock/eject hook fastening. Mechanical mounting compatibility must be verified for your application.

Q: What is the difference between 3M 4634-6200 and 3M 4634-7200?

A: Both parts feature latch lock/eject hook fastening and identical electrical specifications. The distinction is the end-of-line design: 4634-6200 is feed-through, while 4634-7200 is closed-end. Both support 26-28 AWG wire, IDC termination, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness.

Q: Is TE Connectivity 2-111494-1 compatible with 3M 4634-7200?

A: Electrical and contact specifications are identical: 34 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, IDC termination, 26-28 AWG support, and gold contact finish. The key difference is mounting type: TE 2-111494-1 is panel mount, while 3M 4634-7200 is free-hanging in-line. Additionally, TE 2-111494-1 specifies ribbon cable, whereas 3M variants support both discrete and ribbon cable. Mechanical integration must be evaluated for your specific application.

Q: Do all substitutes support both stranded and solid wire?

A: 3M 4634-6000 and 3M 4634-6200 explicitly support both stranded and solid wire in the 26-28 AWG range. TE Connectivity 2-111494-1 specifies ribbon cable without explicit mention of discrete wire support. Wire type compatibility should be confirmed with the connector manufacturer for the TE part.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes—3M 4634-6000, 3M 4634-6200, and TE Connectivity 2-111494-1—are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original 3M 4634-7200 specification.

Q: What packaging differences exist among these parts?

A: 3M 4634-7200, 4634-6000, and 4634-6200 are supplied in bulk packaging. TE Connectivity 2-111494-1 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and ordering quantities for your supply chain.
