Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution for the 963226-2000-AR-TP is determined by the following critical parameters:
- Connector Configuration: 26 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
- Mounting Method: Surface mount termination with solder
- Mating Interface: Push-pull fastening mechanism
- Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
- Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
- Form Factor: Receptacle or header connector types with compatible board-to-board or pass-through entry styles
Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:
Category 1: Sullins Connector Solutions Headers (NPPC/NPTC Series) These are header connectors with female socket contacts, offering active product status and enhanced operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C). Available in both gold and tin contact finishes.
Category 2: Samtec Inc. Receptacles (SSM-113 Series) These are pass-through or bottom-entry receptacles with higher current ratings (5.2A per contact) and extended voltage specifications (405VAC, 572VDC). All variants maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
For Gold-Plated Mating Contacts with Active Product Status:
NPPC132KFMP-RC and NPPC132KFMS-RC from Sullins Connector Solutions provide direct functional equivalence with gold contact finishes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products with enhanced operating temperature range. NPPC132KFMS-RC offers higher inventory availability (2100 pcs) compared to NPPC132KFMP-RC (893 pcs).
For Extended Electrical Performance:
SSM-113-F-DV and SSM-113-F-DV-BE-K-TR from Samtec Inc. deliver superior current ratings (5.2A per contact versus 2A) and higher voltage specifications (572VDC versus 1000VDC rating on original, but 405VAC capability). These receptacles use Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation and maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance. SSM-113-F-DV-BE-K-TR includes pick-and-place features suitable for automated assembly.
For Tin Contact Finish Applications:
NPTC132KFMP-RC and NPTC132KFMS-RC provide tin-plated alternatives with identical mechanical and electrical specifications to their gold-plated counterparts. NPTC132KFMS-RC offers the highest inventory level (1462 pcs) among all substitutes.
All substitute parts maintain the critical 26-position, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration with push-pull fastening and surface mount termination required for direct replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can Sullins header connectors replace the 3M receptacle connector?
A: Yes. While the 3M part is a receptacle and Sullins parts are headers, both connector types provide female socket contacts and are compatible with standard 0.100" pitch male headers. The mating interface remains functionally equivalent for board-to-board applications.
Q: What is the voltage rating difference between the 3M part and Samtec substitutes?
A: The 3M 963226-2000-AR-TP is rated for 1000VDC. Samtec SSM-113 series receptacles are rated for 405VAC or 572VDC. For applications requiring the full 1000VDC rating, Samtec parts are not suitable. Sullins NPPC/NPTC series are rated for 250V, also below the original specification.
Q: Which substitute offers the best current handling capacity?
A: Samtec SSM-113 series receptacles provide 5.2A per contact, compared to 2A for the 3M original and 3A for Sullins headers. For high-current applications, Samtec parts deliver superior performance.
Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. All listed substitute parts from Sullins and Samtec carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The original 3M part does not specify RoHS status.
Q: What is the difference between SSM-113-F-DV and SSM-113-F-DV-BE-K-TR?
A: SSM-113-F-DV is a pass-through receptacle available in bulk packaging. SSM-113-F-DV-BE-K-TR is a bottom-entry receptacle supplied in tape and reel format with pick-and-place features, suitable for automated assembly processes.
Q: Can I use tin-plated connectors where gold-plated connectors were specified?
A: Tin-plated contacts (NPTC series) provide different electrical and corrosion characteristics compared to gold-plated contacts. Application requirements for contact resistance, environmental exposure, and signal integrity must be evaluated before substitution.
Q: What packaging options are available for high-volume production?
A: Samtec SSM-113-F-DV-BE-K-TR is supplied in tape and reel format with pick-and-place compatibility. Sullins NPPC132KFMS-RC and NPTC132KFMS-RC are available in tube packaging. Both formats support automated assembly workflows.
