Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the N3627-600T02RB and N3627-6002RB are active products from 3M's 3000 series rectangular connectors. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements:

N3627-600T02RB is appropriate when press-fit termination capability is required or when longer contact posts (0.175" / 4.45mm) are necessary for deeper PCB penetration. This part supports dual termination methods.

N3627-6002RB is appropriate for solder-only termination applications and when shorter contact posts (0.112" / 2.84mm) are acceptable. This part offers tray packaging for high-volume applications.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance with 1.75A current rating, identical mechanical compatibility with 24-position 2-row 0.100" pitch configuration, and equivalent environmental specifications including -55°C to 105°C operating range and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating and REACH unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can N3627-6002RB replace N3627-600T02RB in all applications?

A: N3627-6002RB is compatible with applications using solder termination only. If your design requires press-fit termination capability, N3627-600T02RB is necessary. The shorter contact post length of N3627-6002RB (0.112" vs 0.175") must be verified against your PCB thickness and hole depth specifications.

Q: What is the difference in contact post length between these parts?

A: N3627-600T02RB has 0.175" (4.45mm) post length, while N3627-6002RB has 0.112" (2.84mm) post length. This affects PCB penetration depth and solder joint formation. Verify your PCB design accommodates the shorter post length before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical 1.75A current rating, -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range, and equivalent contact materials and finishes for mating surfaces.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: N3627-600T02RB uses standard packaging, while N3627-6002RB uses tray packaging. Tray packaging is typically preferred for automated assembly and high-volume production.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both N3627-600T02RB and N3627-6002RB are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level and REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material composition?

A: N3627-600T02RB uses polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) with glass fill. N3627-6002RB uses PCT, polyester, and glass fill. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and provide equivalent performance in standard applications.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness on posts affect performance?

A: N3627-600T02RB has 300.0µin (7.62µm) tin plating on posts, while N3627-6002RB has 200.0µin (5.08µm). Both thicknesses provide adequate corrosion protection and solder wettability for standard applications. Verify requirements for high-reliability or harsh environment applications.
