929842-01-05-RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 929842-01-05-RA is a 10-position receptacle connector manufactured by 3M, designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 929842-01-05-RA are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• 10-position receptacle configuration with 2-row layout
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• Square contact geometry
• 2A current rating capability
• Operating temperature range compatibility

The identified substitutes—146219-2 and 535598-6—both manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors—meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts are active products from the AMPMODU Mod IV series, providing design continuity for applications previously using the obsolete 3M 929842 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products with superior or equivalent operating temperature ranges compared to the obsolete 929842-01-05-RA. Selection between 146219-2 and 535598-6 depends on packaging and compliance requirements:

146219-2 is supplied in bulk packaging and is not subject to RoHS compliance restrictions, making it suitable for applications without RoHS mandates.

535598-6 is supplied in tube packaging and is classified as RoHS non-compliant. This part offers an extended upper operating temperature limit of 125°C compared to 105°C for both the original part and 146219-2, providing thermal margin for demanding applications.

Both parts carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ensuring regulatory and handling consistency with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 146219-2 and 535598-6 mechanically interchangeable with 929842-01-05-RA?

A: Both substitute parts share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), contact length (0.125"), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Insulation height differs slightly (0.265" vs. 0.235"), but this does not affect board-level compatibility for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Q: What is the difference between 146219-2 and 535598-6?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (bulk vs. tube), RoHS compliance status (not applicable vs. non-compliant), and maximum operating temperature (105°C vs. 125°C). Electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent for standard applications.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in existing designs without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both substitutes maintain the same 0.100" pitch, through-hole termination, and push-pull fastening as the original 929842-01-05-RA. The slight increase in insulation height (0.030") does not require PCB layout changes for typical board-to-board applications.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching to these substitutes?

A: Both substitutes carry EAR99 export classification and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity, matching the original part. RoHS compliance differs: 146219-2 is not subject to RoHS, while 535598-6 is RoHS non-compliant. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and region.

Q: What is the current rating for 146219-2?

A: The current rating for 146219-2 is not specified in available documentation. For applications requiring confirmed 2A current capability, 535598-6 is the recommended choice.
