3M 929647-06-36-EU Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 929647-06-36-EU is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This unshrouded, single-row 36-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts. The connector is rated for -40°C to 105°C operation and carries a 2.5A current rating per contact. Product status is Active with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: 36-position count, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and board-to-board or cable-compatible mounting style.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain Active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection among substitutes depends on specific application requirements:

Molex KK254 Series (0022284361, 0022284362, 0022284364, 0022284367): These parts are ROHS3 compliant and available in high inventory quantities. Contact length variations range from 0.295" to 0.320" mating length. Gold-plated mating contacts are available in parts 0022284364 and 0022284367 with differing finish thicknesses (15.0µin and 30.0µin respectively). Tin-plated alternatives (0022284361, 0022284362) offer cost optimization for non-corrosive environments.

Molex C-Grid III 90120 (0901200956): This part extends operating temperature to -55°C to 125°C and features brass contact material with 30.0µin gold plating. ROHS3 compliant with polyester glass-filled insulation. Suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance.

TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II Series (3-826629-6, 3-826646-6, 3-826926-6): These parts offer 5A current rating, exceeding the 2.5A specification of the main part. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C. RoHS or ROHS3 compliant. Contact length variations accommodate different PCB stack-up requirements. Gold-plated mating contacts (3-826629-6, 3-826646-6) or tin-plated alternatives (3-826926-6) available.

Harwin M20 Series (M20-9993645, M20-9993646): These cuttable header variants provide 3A per contact rating and ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature matches the main part (-40°C to 105°C). Gold-plated (M20-9993645) or tin-plated (M20-9993646) mating contacts available. Mated stacking heights support multiple configuration options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex KK254 series parts directly replace the 3M 929647-06-36-EU?

A: Yes. Molex KK254 series parts (0022284361, 0022284362, 0022284364, 0022284367) are direct substitutes. All maintain 36-position, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder configuration with push-pull fastening. Contact finish differences (tin vs. gold) and mating contact length variations (0.295" to 0.320") do not prevent mechanical or electrical compatibility at the board level. Verify PCB stack-up clearance for contact length variations.

Q: What is the difference between gold-plated and tin-plated contact finishes?

A: Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and is specified for the main part (10.0µin thickness). Tin plating offers cost reduction and is acceptable for general-purpose applications without corrosive exposure. Molex parts 0022284361 and 0022284362 use tin plating; parts 0022284364 and 0022284367 use gold plating with varying thicknesses (15.0µin and 30.0µin).

Q: Are TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II parts compatible with the 3M connector?

A: Yes. TE Connectivity parts 3-826629-6, 3-826646-6, and 3-826926-6 are compatible substitutes. All maintain the required 36-position, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination. Contact length differences (0.228" to 0.264" mating length) require PCB clearance verification. These parts offer higher current rating (5A) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C).

Q: What are the key differences between breakaway and cuttable header types?

A: Both connector types support the same 36-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and through-hole solder termination. Breakaway headers (3M, Molex, TE Connectivity) feature molded breakaway sections for position reduction. Cuttable headers (Harwin M20 series) allow custom position configuration through mechanical cutting. Electrical and mechanical compatibility remains unchanged for board-level applications.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect connector selection?

A: The main part operates -40°C to 105°C. Substitute parts with extended ranges (-55°C to 125°C for Molex C-Grid III, -65°C to 105°C for TE Connectivity) are backward compatible and suitable for wider temperature applications. Parts with unspecified operating temperature (Molex KK254 series) are acceptable for applications within the -40°C to 105°C range.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant. The main part is RoHS Compliant. Molex and Harwin parts are ROHS3 Compliant. TE Connectivity parts are RoHS Compliant. All meet the same environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Molex KK254 and TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Molex C-Grid III 90120 is supplied in Tray packaging. Harwin M20 series is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on inventory management and assembly process requirements.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with higher current rating than the main part?

A: Yes. TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II parts (5A rating) and Harwin M20 series (3A per contact) exceed the main part's 2.5A rating. Higher current ratings provide design margin and are fully compatible. The connector will operate within its rated current capacity regardless of the application's actual current draw.
