3M 4664-7301 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 4664-7301 is a 64-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, latch lock fastening, and is classified as Active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across connector pitch, position count, contact type, termination method, and compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 4664-7301 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Configuration: 64-position, 2-row rectangular plug with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
  • Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) cable termination
  • Wire Compatibility: 26-28 AWG wire gauge support
  • Contact Properties: Male pin contacts with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
  • Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification
  • Product Status: Active status ensuring ongoing availability and support

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-111504-6 meets all these criteria, maintaining functional and electrical equivalence despite differences in packaging format and connector housing color.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3M 4664-7301 and TE Connectivity 2-111504-6 are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

  • Packaging Requirements: The 3M part is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the TE Connectivity substitute is supplied in Tray packaging. Choose based on assembly line handling and inventory management protocols.
  • Housing Color Specification: If connector housing color is a documented design requirement, verify that the Black housing of the TE Connectivity part meets system specifications, as the original 3M part features Gray housing.
  • Supply Chain Availability: Both parts maintain Active status with current inventory. Selection may be driven by supplier lead times and stock levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-111504-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 3M 4664-7301?

A: Yes, the TE Connectivity part is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both connectors support 64-position IDC termination with 26-28 AWG wire, identical pitch and row spacing, and matching gold contact specifications. Packaging format and housing color differ but do not affect electrical function.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Bulk vs. Tray) and connector housing color (Gray vs. Black). All electrical parameters, contact specifications, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the TE Connectivity part?

A: Compatibility is maintained for all electrical and mechanical interfaces. If the application specifies connector housing color as a design requirement, the Black housing of the TE Connectivity part must be evaluated against the original Gray specification.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauge and termination method?

A: Yes. Both parts support 26-28 AWG wire with IDC termination. The TE Connectivity part specifies Ribbon Cable compatibility, while the 3M part supports both discrete and ribbon cable configurations.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with EAR99 ECCN classification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
