3M 929800-01-36 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 929800-01-36 is a rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 36-position, single-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is rated for -40°C to 105°C operation. 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-136-06-T-S qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• 36-position, single-row configuration matching the original part
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch alignment for PCB footprint compatibility
• Male pin contact type with through-hole solder termination
• Unshrouded header design with board-to-board application profile
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating maintaining safety compliance
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, which encompasses the original -40°C to 105°C specification

The substitute maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility within the defined parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Samtec TSW-136-06-T-S is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 3M 929800-01-36. Selection of the Samtec part provides the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• ROHS3 compliance addresses regulatory requirements not met by the original part
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) provides additional thermal margin
• Identical pitch, position count, and contact configuration ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility
• Equivalent flammability rating maintains safety certification levels

The substitute is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and legacy system updates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Samtec TSW-136-06-T-S be used as a direct replacement for the 3M 929800-01-36?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (36), contact type (male pin), mounting method (through-hole solder), and shrouding configuration (unshrouded). PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C vs. -55°C to 105°C). The Samtec part uses phosphor bronze contacts versus the 3M part's copper alloy.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for the substitute?

A: The 3M part is listed with unspecified packaging, while the Samtec part is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The Samtec TSW-136-06-T-S is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, addressing modern regulatory standards. The original 3M part is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What is the current rating difference?

A: The 3M part specifies 2.5A current rating. The Samtec part does not provide a current rating specification in the available data. Verify current requirements for your application.
