3M 926141-01-06-EU Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 926141-01-06-EU is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a 6-position, single-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and is classified as a board-to-board connector with push-pull fastening. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3M 926141-01-06-EU is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — must match exactly for mechanical compatibility
• Number of Positions: 6 — connector must accommodate identical pin count
• Number of Rows: 1 — single-row configuration is required
• Connector Type: Header with male pins for board-to-board or cable applications
• Mounting Type: Through hole solder termination
• Fastening Type: Push-pull mechanism
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 compliance

The three substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact length, insulation height, contact finish material (tin versus gold), and insulation material composition are within acceptable tolerances for this connector category and do not prevent functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Molex substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete 3M 926141-01-06-EU.

Molex 0022032062 (KK254 Series): This part maintains the core 6-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. It carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The contact finish is tin rather than gold, and the insulation material is polyamide nylon. This part is suitable for general-purpose applications where the original gold plating is not a critical requirement.

Molex 0423753328 (KK254 Series, 42375): This breakaway header variant offers identical pitch and position count with kinked pin termination in addition to solder capability. It features ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The tin contact finish and glass-filled polyamide nylon insulation material provide enhanced mechanical stability. This configuration is appropriate for applications requiring additional mechanical robustness.

Molex 0878910608 (KK254 Series, 87891): This breakaway header provides the same 6-position, 2.54mm pitch specification with through-hole solder termination. It includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The copper alloy contact material and glass-filled polyamide nylon insulation offer durability for automotive, medical, and telecommunications applications.

All three substitutes meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring compatibility with standard storage and handling protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0022032062 be used as a direct replacement for 3M 926141-01-06-EU?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (6), row configuration (1), mounting type (through hole), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The primary difference is contact finish material (tin versus gold) and insulation composition, which do not prevent functional substitution in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between the three Molex alternatives?

A: All three parts meet the core substitution criteria. Molex 0022032062 is the base KK254 header without breakaway capability. Molex 0423753328 includes breakaway functionality and kinked pin termination options. Molex 0878910608 also includes breakaway capability with copper alloy contacts and glass-filled insulation. Selection depends on specific application requirements for mechanical robustness and termination flexibility.

Q: Does the change from gold to tin contact finish affect compatibility?

A: No. Tin contact finish is standard for KK254 series connectors and provides equivalent electrical performance for the specified 2.5A current rating and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). Both finishes meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three Molex alternatives carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 6-position, single-row configuration ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing through-hole footprints designed for the 3M 926141-01-06-EU.
