Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 108-0253-001

Part Overview

108-0253-001 by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson is a banana and tip connector categorized as a double, stackable, solderless banana plug. The part features free-hanging (in-line) mounting, nickel finish, black color, and a wire gauge rating of 16 AWG. It is RoHS compliant and active, packaged in bulk. The need for alternative models arises due to inventory requirements, long-term sourcing considerations, or supply chain continuity in applications utilizing standard banana plug connectors.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on shared electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters: connector type, stackability, termination method, mating dimensions, mounting type, gender, insulation method, features, finish, and compliance (RoHS status, ECCN, HTSUS). Only parts matching these parameters, as explicitly detailed in the input, are classified as substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 108-0253-001 and MDP-0 are designated as active by their respective manufacturers. Each part maintains RoHS compliance, shares the same environmental and trade classifications (ECCN, HTSUS), and is available in bulk packaging. Either part supports compliance requirements and standard connector form factors within the product category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the critical substitution criteria for the 108-0253-001 banana and tip connector?
A1: Substitution requires matching connector type, stackability, termination method, gender, mating diameter, mounting type, insulation method, and RoHS compliance.

Q2: Are package and color considerations required for substitution?
A2: Both the main and substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging and black color, as specified.

Q3: Does the substitute MDP-0 support the same mounting and mating type as 108-0253-001?
A3: Both models feature a free hanging (in-line) mounting and standard banana plug mating.

Q4: Are there differences in contact or body material relevant for compatibility?
A4: The main part uses nickel silver contacts with a polyamide (PA66), nylon body; the substitute uses beryllium copper contacts with a polypropylene (PP) body. Users must reference explicitly provided criteria only.

Q5: How is part status relevant in the substitution process?
A5: Both parts are currently active, which confirms ongoing manufacturer support and availability within the category.
