Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Molex 0510900600

Part Overview

The Molex 0510900600 is a 6-position rectangular connector housing (receptacle) with 2.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications using crimp termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute components necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute parts are selected based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters: 6-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, receptacle type with female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging mounting. Variations in color, insulation material, operating temperature range, and fastening type are noted where they differ from the original specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are classified into three categories based on their relationship to the original Molex 0510900600:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (PHR-6): JST Sales America Inc. PHR-6 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. It differs in fastening type (detent lock vs. none specified) and operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C). Product status is active.

MFR Recommended Substitute (179228-6): TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 179228-6 provides full parameter compatibility with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). No fastening type is specified. Product status is active.

Parametric Equivalents (1470201-6, 1470199-6, DF3-6S-2C, SWH201-NULN-S06-UU-WH): These parts match the core electrical and mechanical requirements (6 positions, 2.00mm pitch, receptacle, female socket, crimp termination, free-hanging mount) but vary in color, insulation material, operating temperature, or fastening characteristics. All are active products.

All substitute parts maintain the same contact configuration, pitch, mounting style, and termination method as the original part. Contacts are not included with any housing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: PHR-6 (JST) and 179228-6 (TE Connectivity) are the primary candidates. Both are active products with full RoHS compliance. The 179228-6 offers extended low-temperature operation (-55°C vs. -25°C), beneficial for industrial or aerospace applications. PHR-6 includes detent lock fastening, which may provide additional mechanical security depending on application requirements.

For Color-Specific Applications: If natural color is required, select from PHR-6, 179228-6, or 1470201-6. If white or black housings are acceptable, SWH201-NULN-S06-UU-WH and DF3-6S-2C respectively provide active alternatives with full compliance.

For Extended Temperature Range: DF3-6S-2C (Hirose) supports -55°C to 105°C operation, the widest range among all options. This part is suitable for high-temperature or cryogenic environments.

For Thermal Stability: All substitute parts maintain MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), matching the original specification.

All substitute parts are RoHS compliant and maintain the same 6-position, 2.00mm pitch, crimp-terminated, free-hanging configuration as the original Molex 0510900600.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the Molex 0510900600?

A: Yes, all listed parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. They share the same 6-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, receptacle type, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging mounting. Verify color and operating temperature requirements for your specific application before selection.

Q: What is the difference between the "Direct Manufacturer Substitute" and "Parametric Equivalents"?

A: The direct substitute (PHR-6) is recommended by the original manufacturer or industry sources as the primary alternative. Parametric equivalents match all core electrical and mechanical specifications but may differ in secondary characteristics such as color, insulation material, or temperature range. All are functionally compatible.

Q: Do these substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. All housing parts listed—original and substitutes—do not include contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and must match the 2.00mm pitch and crimp termination specification.

Q: Which substitute should I choose if my application requires operation below -25°C?

A: Select 179228-6 (TE Connectivity, -55°C to 85°C) or DF3-6S-2C (Hirose, -55°C to 105°C). Both support extended low-temperature operation.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry either ROHS3 or RoHS compliance certification, matching or exceeding the original Molex 0510900600 specification.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for these parts?

A: The housing is supplied without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be crimped into the housing separately during assembly. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with 2.00mm pitch and crimp termination.

Q: Can I mix contacts from different manufacturers with these housings?

A: Contact compatibility depends on pitch, contact type (female socket), and crimp specification. Verify that replacement contacts are rated for 2.00mm pitch and crimp termination before assembly.
