3M 961119-6300-AR-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 961119-6300-AR-TP is a rectangular connector header designed for surface mount applications with 19 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The connector features male pins with gold-plated mating contacts, solder termination, and push-pull fastening suitable for board-to-board interconnection.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 961119-6300-AR-TP is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Pitch and Position Count: All substitute parts maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 19-position capacity
• Connector Type and Contact Configuration: Header with male pins for board-to-board connection
• Mounting and Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating maintained across all substitutes
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all options

The Samtec TSM series substitutes are functionally equivalent with enhanced specifications. Variations exist in insulation material (LCP vs. Thermoplastic), contact finish thickness, operating temperature range, and optional features (Board Lock, Board Guide, Pick and Place compatibility).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All Samtec TSM series parts listed are active production components with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability compared to the obsolete 3M 961119-6300-AR-TP. The substitutes maintain functional equivalence across core electrical and mechanical parameters including pitch, position count, contact configuration, and flammability rating.

TSM-119-01-L-SV serves as the baseline substitute with standard specifications and tube packaging.

TSM-119-01-L-SV-LC and TSM-119-01-S-SV-LC incorporate Board Lock features for enhanced mechanical retention.

TSM-119-01-L-SV-LC-002 and TSM-119-01-S-SV-004 are configured with 18 positions loaded, suitable for applications requiring one unloaded position.

TSM-119-01-L-SV-P-TR includes Pick and Place compatibility with tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.

TSM-119-01-S-SV-A-TR features Board Guide with tape and reel packaging and increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin).

All substitutes operate across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, exceeding the original part's -25°C to 105°C specification. Insulation material transitions from Thermoplastic to Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), providing improved thermal and chemical resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSM series connectors directly replace the 3M 961119-6300-AR-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. All TSM substitutes maintain the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 19-position configuration, male pin contact type, surface mount termination, and push-pull fastening. Physical footprint compatibility is ensured through matching pitch and position count. Minor dimensional variations in contact length (0.230" vs. 0.210") and insulation height (0.100" vs. 0.098") are within typical PCB design tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between TSM-119-01-L-SV and TSM-119-01-S-SV variants?

A: The primary difference is contact finish thickness. TSM-119-01-L-SV variants feature 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold plating, while TSM-119-01-S-SV variants provide 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating for enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automated assembly?

A: TSM-119-01-L-SV-P-TR is optimized for pick and place equipment with tape and reel packaging and Pick and Place feature designation.

Q: Are Board Lock and Board Guide features compatible with existing mating connectors?

A: Board Lock (LC designation) and Board Guide (A designation) are mechanical retention features on the header. Compatibility depends on the mating connector design. Consult mating connector specifications to confirm feature compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "-002" suffix in TSM-119-01-L-SV-LC-002?

A: The "-002" suffix indicates 18 positions loaded instead of all 19 positions. This configuration is used when one position must remain unloaded for specific circuit requirements.

Q: Do all TSM substitutes meet the same flammability and moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. All listed TSM substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the original 3M part specifications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: TSM-119-01-L-SV is supplied in Tube packaging. TSM-119-01-L-SV-P-TR and TSM-119-01-S-SV-A-TR are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly. Other variants have packaging not specified in standard documentation.
