3M 961110-6300-AR-TP Rectangular Connector Header Surface Mount 10 Position 2.54mm

Part Overview

The 3M 961110-6300-AR-TP is a surface mount rectangular connector header with 10 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. The connector features male pins, unshrouded design, and solder termination suitable for board-to-board applications. Current inventory of 914 pieces remains available, but long-term sourcing requires identification of active alternative components with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 961110-6300-AR-TP is obsolete and requires substitution for new designs and ongoing production. All listed substitute parts are active components with current manufacturing support.

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC 54201-S0810ALF

The 54201-S0810ALF offers the closest mechanical compatibility with minimal design changes. It maintains identical pitch, position count, and connector geometry while providing active product status and RoHS compliance. The BERGSTIK® series design ensures reliable board-to-board connectivity. This part is available in Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly.

Secondary Recommendation: Samtec TSM Series (Multiple Variants)

The Samtec TSM-110 series provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -25°C ~ 105°C) and enhanced reliability through Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material. Multiple packaging and feature options accommodate different assembly and application requirements:

TSM-110-01-F-SV: Standard tube packaging
TSM-110-01-F-SV-A: Bulk packaging with board guide feature
TSM-110-01-F-SV-A-P-TR: Tape & Reel with board guide and pick-and-place optimization
TSM-110-01-F-SV-LC: Board lock feature for enhanced mechanical retention
TSM-110-01-F-SV-P: Pick-and-place optimized
TSM-110-01-F-SV-P-TR: Tape & Reel with pick-and-place features
TSM-110-01-F-SV-TR: Standard Tape & Reel
TSM-110-01-G-SV: Gold post finish for enhanced corrosion resistance
TSM-110-01-G-SV-LC: Gold post finish with board lock feature

All Samtec variants comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The cuttable header design provides flexibility for custom position configurations if required.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compatibility with existing manufacturing and storage protocols. Samtec components provide superior compliance documentation with ROHS3 and REACH certifications. Amphenol ICC 54201-S0810ALF provides RoHS compliance suitable for regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 961110-6300-AR-TP be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 10 positions, single row, male pin header, surface mount solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Physical footprint compatibility is maintained across all substitutes. Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height do not affect PCB layout or mating connector compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec TSM variants?

A: The TSM-110 series shares identical electrical and core mechanical specifications. Variants differ in packaging format (Tube, Bulk, Tape & Reel), optional features (Board Guide, Board Lock, Pick-and-Place optimization), and contact post finish (Tin or Gold). Select packaging based on assembly process requirements. Board Guide and Board Lock features provide enhanced mechanical alignment during mating. Pick-and-place variants optimize automated assembly handling.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of Samtec parts affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range (-55°C ~ 125°C for Samtec versus -25°C ~ 105°C for the original 3M part) represents improved performance capability. Applications operating within the original temperature range remain fully compatible. Applications requiring extended temperature operation benefit from Samtec substitution.

Q: What is the significance of contact material differences (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze)?

A: Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability for this connector class. Phosphor Bronze, used in all substitute parts, offers superior spring characteristics and wear resistance. This represents a material upgrade with no negative compatibility implications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for high-volume production?

A: Yes. For automated assembly, select Tape & Reel packaging variants: 54201-S0810ALF, TSM-110-01-F-SV-A-P-TR, TSM-110-01-F-SV-P-TR, or TSM-110-01-F-SV-TR. For manual assembly or lower volumes, Tube or Bulk packaging options are available. Tape & Reel variants include pick-and-place optimization features where specified.

Q: What is the difference between TSM-110-01-F-SV and TSM-110-01-G-SV?

A: The primary difference is contact post finish. TSM-110-01-F-SV uses tin post finish (matching the original 3M part). TSM-110-01-G-SV uses gold post finish for enhanced corrosion resistance in high-reliability or harsh environment applications. Mating contact finish remains gold in both variants. Select based on application environmental requirements.

Q: Is the Amphenol ICC 54201-S0810ALF suitable for applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: The 54201-S0810ALF does not specify operating temperature range in available documentation. For applications requiring confirmed extended temperature performance, Samtec TSM-110 series variants are recommended, as they provide explicit -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature specification.
