SNT-100-OR-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SNT-100-OR-T is a 2-position (1 x 2) shunt connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., featuring an open top design with orange housing and tin contact finish. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where form-factor compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SNT-100-OR-T is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Configuration: 2 (1 x 2) position requirement
• Connector Type: Open top design
• Gender: Female sockets
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent

The substitute parts identified (1-382811-6 and 929951-00) meet these core electrical and mechanical criteria. Variations in pitch, height, contact finish, housing material, and color are permissible within the scope of shunt connector substitution, provided the fundamental position count, connector type, and safety certifications remain consistent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the SNT-100-OR-T.

1-382811-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This part maintains identical position count and connector type with UL94 V-0 and ROHS3 compliance. The 0.250" (6.35mm) height represents a 0.010" (0.25mm) increase over the main part. Gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.

929951-00 (3M): This part matches the SNT-100-OR-T in height (0.240"), position count, and connector type. Housing material and contact finish (tin) are identical to the main part. RoHS compliance is confirmed. Current rating is specified at 1A per contact, lower than the main part's 4.3A rating.

Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements regarding contact finish, current capacity, and mechanical height tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-382811-6 be used as a direct replacement for SNT-100-OR-T?

A: The 1-382811-6 meets the core substitution criteria (2-position, open top, female sockets, UL94 V-0, ROHS3). The 0.010" height difference and gold contact finish are the primary variations. Mechanical clearance and contact resistance requirements must be evaluated for your specific application.

Q: What is the difference between tin and gold contact finishes in these shunt connectors?

A: Both finishes are provided in the specified parts. Tin contact finish is present in SNT-100-OR-T and 929951-00. Gold contact finish is used in 1-382811-6. Contact finish selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance and contact resistance performance.

Q: Is the 929951-00 suitable for high-current applications?

A: The 929951-00 specifies a current rating of 1A per contact, which is lower than the SNT-100-OR-T (4.3A per contact). Applications requiring the full 4.3A capacity should use the SNT-100-OR-T or verify that 1A meets the design requirement.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The SNT-100-OR-T is ROHS3 compliant. The 1-382811-6 is ROHS3 compliant. The 929951-00 is RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: The SNT-100-OR-T does not specify pitch in the provided parameters. The 1-382811-6 and 929951-00 both specify 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, which is the standard spacing for 2-position shunt connectors in this category.
