3M 929700-11-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 929700-11-13 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 13-position, single-row connector operates at 2.54mm pitch and is rated for 2.5A continuous current with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The part is currently active in production. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, design revisions, or application-specific performance requirements that demand alternative electrical or mechanical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 4-103321-8 is listed as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — identical to main part
• Contact Type: Male Pin — identical to main part
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — identical to main part
• Termination: Solder — identical to main part
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy — identical to main part
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — identical to main part
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) — identical to main part

The substitute part differs in position count (40 vs. 13), which allows for broader application flexibility. Both parts share the same fundamental electrical and mechanical interface characteristics required for interchangeability in compatible socket designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 929700-11-13 is an active product with current manufacturing support. The TE Connectivity 4-103321-8 substitute is marked as obsolete and carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and product lifecycle considerations. The substitute part offers a higher current rating (3A vs. 2.5A) and an extended lower operating temperature limit (-65°C vs. -40°C), which may provide performance advantages in specific thermal environments. The primary mechanical and electrical interface parameters remain compatible between both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 4-103321-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 3M 929700-11-13?

A: Both parts share identical pitch (2.54mm), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through hole), and termination (solder). The substitute part has a higher position count (40 vs. 13), which does not prevent substitution in applications requiring 13 or fewer positions. Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is maintained.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are position count, product status (active vs. obsolete), RoHS compliance status, current rating (2.5A vs. 3A), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C vs. -65°C to 105°C), and insulation material composition. Contact finish on the mating surface differs (tin-lead vs. tin).

Q: Are there compliance considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: Yes. The main part is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should use the TE Connectivity part. Conversely, applications requiring tin-lead contact finish or the specific insulation material of the main part may necessitate the 3M connector.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher current rating indicates greater capacity and does not create incompatibility. Applications designed for 2.5A operation remain fully compatible with a 3A-rated connector.

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging.
