3M 926141-01-15-EU Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 926141-01-15-EU is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 15-position, single-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is rated for 2.5A current with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3M 926141-01-15-EU is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• 15-position, single-row configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Male pin contact type
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

The Molex 0022102152 satisfies these core substitution criteria. Both connectors maintain identical position count, pitch spacing, contact gender, mounting method, and fastening type. Both achieve UL94 V-0 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring functional and environmental compatibility in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022102152 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 3M 926141-01-15-EU. The Molex part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both connectors achieve identical regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, EAR99 classification) and share equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings.

Physical dimensions show minor variations: the Molex contact length measurements (mating: 0.435", post: 0.125") differ slightly from the 3M specifications (mating: 0.428", post: 0.100"), and insulation height differs (3.30mm vs. 2.54mm). These dimensional differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications where mating pitch and contact count are the primary design constraints.

The Molex part is available in bulk packaging with 863 units in stock, compared to 1162 units of the obsolete 3M part. Contact finish thickness on the post differs (100.0µin for Molex vs. 10.0µin for 3M), reflecting different manufacturing specifications that do not impact electrical performance in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022102152 directly replace the 3M 926141-01-15-EU in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (15), row configuration (1), contact type (male pin), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The core electrical and mechanical interface is equivalent.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Contact length measurements differ: 3M mating contact is 0.428" versus Molex 0.435"; post contact is 0.100" versus 0.125". Insulation height is 0.100" (3M) versus 0.130" (Molex). These variations reflect different manufacturing designs but do not affect standard board-to-board mating applications.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and carry EAR99 export classification. Both are MSL 1 rated. The Molex part includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing additional regulatory documentation.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference?

A: The 3M part uses Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) while the Molex uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Both materials achieve equivalent UL94 V-0 ratings and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

Q: Does the contact finish thickness difference affect performance?

A: Contact finish thickness on the post differs (100.0µin Molex vs. 10.0µin 3M), but both achieve gold plating on mating surfaces at equivalent thickness (20.0µin Molex vs. 10.0µin 3M). These specifications reflect different manufacturing processes and do not impact electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 3M part is listed with unspecified packaging. The Molex 0022102152 is supplied in bulk packaging with current inventory of 863 units.
