Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5175677-9 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug configuration
• Position Count: 100 positions
• Row Configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting Style: Free hanging (in-line) orientation
• Termination Technology: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact)
• Contact Material: Gold plating
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating

The substitute part 101A0-6000EC from 3M meets all these core parameters, enabling functional replacement in applications requiring 100-position IDC plug connectors with identical mounting and termination characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 101A0-6000EC serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5175677-9. Both components share identical core specifications across connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting style, and IDC termination technology. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current manufacturing and deployment.

The 3M 101A0-6000EC is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and replacement applications. The substitute part features shielding, which provides additional electromagnetic interference protection compared to the original part. The contact finish thickness on the 3M component (30.0µin) exceeds that of the TE Connectivity original (11.8µin), supporting enhanced contact durability and longevity in high-cycle applications.

Selection of the 3M 101A0-6000EC is appropriate for applications requiring 100-position IDC plug connectors with free hanging mounting and center strip contact configuration. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through equivalence of all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 101A0-6000EC directly replace the TE Connectivity 5175677-9 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting style, and IDC termination. Functional compatibility is established through parameter equivalence.

Q: What is the significance of the shielding feature on the 3M 101A0-6000EC?

A: The 3M substitute includes shielding, which the original TE Connectivity part does not specify. Shielding provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. Applications sensitive to EMI may benefit from this additional feature; applications without EMI concerns are unaffected by this difference.

Q: How do the contact finish thicknesses compare between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5175677-9 specifies 11.8µin (0.30µm) contact finish thickness, while the 3M 101A0-6000EC specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm). The thicker gold plating on the 3M component supports extended contact life and improved wear resistance in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 5175677-9 and 3M 101A0-6000EC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4051).

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5175677-9 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 3M 101A0-6000EC is supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity 5175677-9 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The 3M 101A0-6000EC, classified as active, represents the current equivalent solution for 100-position IDC plug connector applications.

Q: Are there any mechanical interface differences between these connectors?

A: Both connectors maintain identical mechanical specifications for mounting type (free hanging in-line), connector style (center strip contacts), and position/row configuration (100 positions, 2 rows). Mechanical compatibility is established.
