Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 929971-01-06 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be a receptacle with 6 positions to maintain mating compatibility with existing pin headers and connectors
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is mandatory for mechanical and electrical alignment
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole solder termination required for PCB integration
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating must meet or exceed 2A; voltage rating must support 1000V operation
• Temperature Range: Operating range must encompass -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Fastening Type: Push-pull mechanism ensures consistent mating interface

The substitute part 316-93-106-41-006000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) satisfies these core substitution criteria while offering enhanced specifications and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 316-93-106-41-006000 serves as the qualified substitute for the obsolete 929971-01-06 based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (6), mounting method (through-hole solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull), ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating components.

Performance Enhancement: The Mill-Max substitute provides superior current capacity (3A versus 2A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C), supporting broader application requirements without derating.

Compliance Status: The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating, aligning with modern regulatory requirements while preserving safety certifications of the original design.

Contact Finish Upgrade: Gold plating on mating contacts provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to tin-lead finish, particularly beneficial in environments with moisture or thermal cycling.

Product Availability: Active product status ensures long-term supply continuity and technical support, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original 3M component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will the 316-93-106-41-006000 mate directly with existing 929971-01-06 connectors in the field?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 6-position configuration with push-pull fastening, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard pin headers and mating connectors designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between "Receptacle" and "Elevated Socket" connector types?

A: Both are female socket connectors suitable for board-to-board applications. The elevated socket design of the Mill-Max part provides additional standoff height, which may require verification against PCB layout constraints in existing designs.

Q: Is the gold contact finish compatible with tin-lead plated pins?

A: Yes. Gold-plated contacts are compatible with tin-lead plated pins. The gold finish provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability without introducing incompatibility with standard tin-lead mating components.

Q: Does the Mill-Max substitute meet the 1000V voltage rating of the original part?

A: The voltage rating for the 316-93-106-41-006000 is not specified in available documentation. Contact Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. directly to confirm voltage rating compatibility for applications requiring 1000V operation.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for the substitute part?

A: The 316-93-106-41-006000 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), identical to the original 929971-01-06, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original 929971-01-06 packaging is not specified. The 316-93-106-41-006000 is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
