3M 926142-01-28-EU Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 926142-01-28-EU is a through-hole rectangular connector header with 56 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The connector features male pins with gold-plated copper alloy contacts, solder termination, and push-pull fastening, designed for board-to-board applications in industrial and commercial electronics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 926142-01-28-EU is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Position count: 56 positions
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening: Push-pull
• Insulation material: PCT
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Current rating: 2.5A
• Flammability: UL94 V-0

The two identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact length, contact material composition, and product status are documented but do not preclude functional equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 929665-08-28-EU is the primary recommended substitute for the obsolete 926142-01-28-EU. Both components are manufactured by 3M, share identical core electrical and mechanical specifications, and maintain the same operating temperature range and current rating. The 929665-08-28-EU carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, supporting long-term design continuity and regulatory alignment.

The Amphenol ICC 86584-156H (BERGSTIK® II series) provides a secondary substitution option. This connector maintains all critical mating parameters and fastening characteristics. The component features phosphor bronze contacts with increased gold plating thickness (30.0µin versus 10.0µin), which may provide enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications. However, the 86584-156H is RoHS non-compliant and does not specify operating temperature or current rating parameters, requiring design verification before implementation in new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929665-08-28-EU directly replace the 926142-01-28-EU in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), position count (56), row configuration (2), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), termination (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). Operating temperature range and current rating are identical. Variations in contact length do not affect mating compatibility when used with standard 0.100" pitch receptacles.

Q: What is the difference between the 3M and Amphenol ICC options?

A: The 3M 929665-08-28-EU is the direct functional equivalent with identical specifications. The Amphenol ICC 86584-156H provides equivalent mating and electrical performance but uses phosphor bronze contacts instead of copper alloy, features thicker gold plating (30.0µin), and includes kinked pin termination in addition to solder termination. The Amphenol option is RoHS non-compliant and does not specify operating temperature or current rating.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The 926142-01-28-EU packaging is not specified in available data. The 929665-08-28-EU is supplied in bulk packaging. The 86584-156H is also supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department before finalizing component selection.

Q: Does contact length variation affect board layout?

A: Contact length differences exist between the three connectors (0.428", 0.235", and 0.540" mating lengths respectively). These variations affect the overall connector height and may impact PCB stack-up design. Verify that your receptacle design accommodates the selected header's contact length before implementation.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: The 3M 929665-08-28-EU is recommended for new designs. It maintains full specification alignment with the original part, carries active product status, and meets RoHS compliance requirements. The Amphenol ICC option is suitable only when specific performance characteristics of phosphor bronze contacts and enhanced gold plating are required and RoHS non-compliance is acceptable.
