3M 926141-01-14-EU Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 926141-01-14-EU is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 14-position, single-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is classified as an obsolete product. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 926141-01-14-EU is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 14 positions in single row
• Mating Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull engagement
• Contact Geometry: Square contact shape
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification

The Molex 0022102142 satisfies all primary substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and fastening type. Both maintain UL94 V-0 compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring compatibility in equivalent thermal and environmental conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022102142 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 3M 926141-01-14-EU. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The 3M part is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing. The Molex 0022102142 maintains active product status with current inventory availability (863 pcs in stock), ensuring supply chain continuity.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classifications. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040, ensuring regulatory equivalence. The Molex part additionally carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Functional Compatibility: Identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (14), row configuration (1), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull) ensure direct functional substitution in equivalent applications.

Physical & Electrical Characteristics: Minor variations exist in contact finish thickness and post material (Molex uses tin versus 3M's gold), and insulation material composition (Molex uses polyamide versus 3M's PCT). These differences do not compromise functional equivalence for standard board-to-board connector applications within the specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022102142 directly replace the 3M 926141-01-14-EU in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), 14-position single-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Footprint compatibility is maintained for direct PCB substitution.

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

A: Primary differences include contact finish composition (Molex uses tin post finish versus 3M's gold), insulation material (Molex uses polyamide versus 3M's PCT), and contact finish thickness on mating surfaces (Molex 20.0µin versus 3M 10.0µin). These variations do not affect functional performance in standard applications.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations when substituting?

A: Both connectors operate within the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and maintain identical MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. No additional environmental restrictions apply to the substitution.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 3M 926141-01-14-EU packaging specification is not provided. The Molex 0022102142 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 3M part's RoHS status is not specified in available documentation. The Molex 0022102142 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The 3M 926141-01-14-EU is rated for 2.5A. The Molex 0022102142 current rating is not specified in available documentation. Confirm current requirements for your application.
