3M 926141-01-16-I Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 926141-01-16-I is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 16-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.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Molex 0022284164 qualifies as a functional substitute for the 3M 926141-01-16-I based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• 16-position, single-row configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Male pin contact type
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Unshrouded header design
• Square contact shape
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

Functional Equivalence Basis: Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications for mating and board-level integration. The 16-position 2.54mm pitch standard ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility in applications designed for either part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0022284164 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 3M 926141-01-16-I. Selection rationale is based on:

Product Status: The 3M part is obsolete, making the active Molex 0022284164 the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency.

Interface Compatibility: Identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (16), contact configuration (male pin), and fastening mechanism (push-pull) ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing applications.

Availability: The Molex substitute maintains active production status with established supply chain availability, addressing the supply constraints associated with the discontinued 3M part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0022284164 directly replace the 3M 926141-01-16-I in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (16), contact type (male pin), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-level integration.

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

A: Primary differences include insulation material composition (PBT vs. polyamide), contact finish thickness on mating surfaces (10.0µin vs. 15.0µin), and post finish material (gold vs. tin). The Molex part supports both board-to-board and cable applications, whereas the 3M part is specified for board-to-board only.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences?

A: The 3M part specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and a current rating of 2.5A. The Molex part does not provide explicit operating temperature or current rating specifications in the available data. For applications with defined thermal or current requirements, these parameters should be verified against the respective manufacturer datasheets.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 3M part is listed with unspecified packaging, while the Molex substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Molex 0022284164 is ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the 3M part is not provided in the available data.
