3M 953206-2000-AR-TP Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 953206-2000-AR-TP is a 6-position receptacle connector with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, designed for surface mount board-to-board applications. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, push-pull fastening, and operates across -40°C to 105°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 953206-2000-AR-TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type: Receptacle configuration
Number of Positions: 6 positions
Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
Number of Rows: 2 rows
Row Spacing - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
Fastening Type: Push-Pull
Termination: Solder

All three substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring physical and functional compatibility with the original 3M connector.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, providing long-term availability compared to the obsolete 3M 953206-2000-AR-TP.

Hirose A3-6DA-2SV(71) and Hirose A3A-6DA-2SV(71) are functionally equivalent receptacles with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The A3A-6DA-2SV(71) includes a board guide feature. Both operate at -55°C to 85°C, which is a narrower temperature range than the original part.

Harwin M22-6340342 maintains the full -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range of the original 3M connector and offers higher current rating (2A versus 1A) and higher voltage rating (500VAC versus 1000VDC). This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

For applications requiring the full original temperature range, the Harwin M22-6340342 is the preferred substitute. For general-purpose applications within the -55°C to 85°C range, either Hirose option provides equivalent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these substitute parts physically compatible with the original 3M 953206-2000-AR-TP?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts share identical mating pitch (0.079"), row configuration (2 rows), number of positions (6), and surface mount termination. Physical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the key difference between the Hirose A3-6DA-2SV(71) and A3A-6DA-2SV(71)?

A: The A3A-6DA-2SV(71) includes a board guide feature. Both parts are otherwise electrically and mechanically identical.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The Harwin M22-6340342 maintains the original operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The Hirose options operate to 85°C maximum.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the current rating difference between the original and substitute parts?

A: The 3M original and both Hirose substitutes are rated at 1A. The Harwin M22-6340342 is rated at 2A, providing higher current capacity.

Q: What voltage ratings apply to each part?

A: The 3M original is rated at 1000VDC. The Hirose parts are rated at 200VAC. The Harwin part is rated at 500VAC. Verify voltage requirements for your application.
