3M 926141-01-30-EU Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 926141-01-30-EU is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 30-position, single-row connector operates at 2.54mm pitch and features male pin contacts with gold plating. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68604-430HLF qualifies as a functional substitute based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid where the following parameters match or exceed the original specification:

• Connector type: Header with male pin contacts
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Position count: 30 positions in single row
• Mounting method: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact geometry: Square pin configuration
• Fastening mechanism: Push-Pull engagement
• Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The 68604-430HLF operates within an extended temperature range and provides higher current capacity, making it suitable for applications where the original 926141-01-30-EU is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC 68604-430HLF (68604 series, BERGSTIK® II) is an active product suitable for replacing the obsolete 3M 926141-01-30-EU. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

The substitute part provides extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 105°C) and increased current capacity (3A versus 2.5A). Contact finish differs (tin versus gold plating), and contact material composition varies (phosphor bronze versus copper alloy). These differences do not preclude functional substitution in standard through-hole applications where the original connector is no longer procurable.

The 68604-430HLF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 68604-430HLF directly replace the 3M 926141-01-30-EU in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (30), row configuration (1), mounting method (through-hole), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Physical and electrical compatibility is established through these matching parameters.

Q: What are the differences in contact finish between these parts?

A: The original 3M part uses gold plating (10.0µin thickness) on mating contacts. The substitute uses tin plating (100.0µin thickness). Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for standard applications. Contact material also differs: copper alloy versus phosphor bronze.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute operates across -65°C to 125°C, which encompasses the original specification range of -40°C to 105°C. Extended range capability does not create incompatibility.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The 3M 926141-01-30-EU is obsolete with 1,039 units in stock. The Amphenol ICC 68604-430HLF is active with 824 units available. For new designs or long-term procurement, the active substitute is recommended.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 68604-430HLF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.
