3M 929700-06-07 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 929700-06-07 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 7-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 currently active in production and available in bulk packaging with 1057 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when project requirements necessitate alternative specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Samtec Inc. BBS-107-T-B is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3M 929700-06-07. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: Both parts provide 7 positions
• Mating pitch: Both parts maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• Contact type: Both parts feature male pin contacts
• Mounting configuration: Both parts are through-hole mounted with solder termination
• Board-to-board style: Both parts are configured for board-to-board connection
• Single-row layout: Both parts maintain a single-row configuration
• Unshrouded design: Both parts feature unshrouded connectors

The BBS-107-T-B operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and maintains RoHS3 compliance, distinguishing it from the primary part in regulatory and thermal performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 929700-06-07 remains the primary specification for applications requiring RoHS non-compliant components with tin-lead contact finish and the specified thermal operating range of -40°C to 105°C.

The Samtec BBS-107-T-B serves as a substitute when:

• RoHS3 compliance is required for the application or supply chain
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) is necessary
• Tin contact finish is acceptable in place of tin-lead
• Nickel post finish is compatible with the application

Both parts maintain identical mating pitch, position count, and through-hole solder termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the board interface level. Differences in contact geometry (square versus circular) and overall contact length do not affect substitution viability for standard board-to-board connection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec BBS-107-T-B be used as a direct replacement for the 3M 929700-06-07?

A: Yes, for applications where the extended temperature range and RoHS3 compliance do not conflict with existing specifications. The critical parameters—7 positions, 0.100" pitch, male pin contacts, through-hole mounting, and solder termination—are identical between both parts.

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

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus RoHS3 compliant), contact finish composition (tin-lead versus tin), and contact geometry (square versus circular). These differences do not affect substitution for standard board-to-board applications.

Q: Does the difference in contact shape affect compatibility?

A: No. Both square and circular contact geometries are compatible with standard 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors. The contact shape difference does not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit at the mating interface.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 3M 929700-06-07 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Samtec BBS-107-T-B is supplied in tube packaging. This affects inventory management and handling but does not impact the connector's functional performance.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory and thermal requirements. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance or extended temperature operation, the Samtec BBS-107-T-B is appropriate. For applications with existing RoHS non-compliant specifications and standard temperature ranges, the 3M 929700-06-07 remains the specified part.
