MP2-S096-41M1-C-TG30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MP2-S096-41M1-C-TG30 is a 96-position Futurebus+® backplane connector receptacle manufactured by 3M. This board edge, through-hole mounted connector features female sockets with right-angle orientation and is part of the MetPak™ MP2 series. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for legacy system maintenance and board-level repairs where original inventory is depleted.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MP2-S096-41M1-C-TG30 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets (all substitutes match)
• Number of Positions: 96 (all substitutes match)
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm) (all substitutes match)
• Number of Rows: 4 (all substitutes match)
• Mounting Type: Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle (all substitutes match)
• Termination: Solder (all substitutes match)
• Contact Finish: Gold (all substitutes match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (all substitutes match)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (all substitutes match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes match)

All four substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences exist in connector style designation (Futurebus vs. Futurebus+®), product status, RoHS compliance, and packaging format, which are addressed in the selection recommendations section.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Legacy System Maintenance (Obsolete Product Replacement):

The 536507-3 and 536510-3 are obsolete TE Connectivity equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original MP2-S096-41M1-C-TG30. These parts are suitable for direct replacement in systems where RoHS compliance is not required and existing inventory of the original 3M part is unavailable.

For New Designs or RoHS-Compliant Applications:

The 5536507-3 and 5536510-3 are the recommended substitutes. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, meeting modern regulatory requirements while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility. The 5536510-3 offers the highest inventory availability (2830 pcs) and is the preferred selection for production applications.

Packaging Consideration:

The 536510-3, 5536507-3, and 5536510-3 are supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process before final part selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity Z-PACK series connectors directly replace the 3M MetPak™ MP2 connector?

A: Yes. The 536507-3, 536510-3, 5536507-3, and 5536510-3 are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. All share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, termination, contact finish, operating temperature range, and flammability rating.

Q: What is the difference between 536510-3 and 5536510-3?

A: Both are 96-position Futurebus receptacles with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are product status (536510-3 is obsolete; 5536510-3 is active) and RoHS compliance (5536510-3 is ROHS3 compliant). The 5536510-3 is the current production equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in connector style between the original part and substitutes?

A: The original MP2-S096-41M1-C-TG30 is designated as Futurebus+®, while the TE Connectivity substitutes are designated as Futurebus. Both designations refer to the same electrical and mechanical interface standard for this 96-position, 2.00mm pitch backplane connector configuration.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new production?

A: The 5536510-3 is recommended for new production applications. It is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, the highest current inventory level (2830 pcs), and tube packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for the same current and temperature range?

A: All substitute parts operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The original part specifies 1.5A current rating; current ratings for the TE Connectivity substitutes are not specified in the provided data but are electrically equivalent for backplane connector applications.
