3M 929800-01-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 929800-01-13 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 13-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 classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Samtec TSW-113-06-T-S qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• 13-position, single-row configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Male pin contact type
• Through-hole solder termination
• Unshrouded header design
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Board-to-board connectivity style
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• PBT insulation material
• Square contact shape
• Black insulation color
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze (substitute) vs. Copper Alloy (original)
• Contact length specifications differ within acceptable mechanical tolerances
• Insulation height: 0.100" (2.54mm) vs. 0.115" (2.92mm)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C (substitute) vs. -40°C ~ 105°C (original)
• Current rating not specified for substitute part

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Samtec TSW-113-06-T-S is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 3M 929800-01-13. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for board-to-board connectivity in 13-position, 2.54mm pitch applications.

Compliance Advantage: The Samtec substitute is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 3M part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for new designs or procurement cycles subject to RoHS regulations.

Product Status: The active status of the Samtec part ensures ongoing availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 3M connector.

Thermal Performance: The substitute part supports an extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C vs. -40°C), providing broader environmental compatibility without compromising the upper temperature threshold.

Contact Material Difference: The phosphor bronze contacts in the Samtec part provide equivalent electrical performance to the copper alloy contacts in the original part for standard signal and power distribution applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec TSW-113-06-T-S directly replace the 3M 929800-01-13 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (13), row configuration (1), contact type (male pin), and mounting method (through-hole solder). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 3M part is RoHS non-compliant, while the Samtec substitute is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the Samtec part is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems without RoHS mandates, either part functions equivalently.

Q: Are there differences in contact length that affect compatibility?

A: Contact length specifications differ between the parts (0.093" mating contact for 3M vs. 0.105" for Samtec). These variations fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard board-to-board mating applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does the phosphor bronze contact material in the substitute part affect electrical performance?

A: No. Phosphor bronze and copper alloy contacts both provide suitable electrical conductivity and contact resistance for standard signal and power distribution at the 2.5A rating. Material selection does not impact functional performance in this application category.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 3M part is listed with unspecified packaging, while the Samtec substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Is the extended temperature range of the Samtec part (-55°C lower limit) beneficial?

A: The Samtec part supports operation down to -55°C compared to -40°C for the 3M part. This provides additional thermal margin for applications requiring extended low-temperature performance, though both parts meet the standard -40°C to 105°C industrial range.
