TE Connectivity 1-282086-6 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-282086-6 is a 6-position rectangular receptacle connector from the Mark I series, designed for discrete wire termination using IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) technology. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and maintenance. The part features a single-row configuration with 0.394" (10.00mm) pitch spacing and tin contact finish, suitable for 15-20 AWG wire gauges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-282086-6 is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both main and substitute parts must be receptacle connectors with female blade socket contacts to maintain mating compatibility
• Cable Termination Method: IDC termination capability is required for discrete wire applications
• Contact Finish: Tin finish ensures equivalent electrical and corrosion resistance properties
• Series Compatibility: Parts within the Mark I series maintain mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Wire Gauge Support: Accommodation of 15-20 AWG discrete wires is necessary for existing cable assemblies

The substitute part 1-282086-7 shares the core receptacle configuration, IDC termination method, tin contact finish, and Mark I series designation. However, this part operates as a single-position connector, representing a different position count within the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-282086-7 is listed as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 1-282086-6. Both connectors share identical core electrical and mechanical characteristics: receptacle configuration, female blade socket contacts, IDC termination, tin finish, and Mark I series designation.

The primary distinction is position count: the 1-282086-6 accommodates 6 positions while the 1-282086-7 accommodates 1 position. This difference requires evaluation against specific application requirements.

The 1-282086-7 carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, providing assurance of ongoing availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and system updates. The substitute part is currently in stock with 647 units available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-282086-7 directly replace the 1-282086-6 in existing assemblies?

A: Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, termination method, and contact finish. However, the 1-282086-7 is a single-position connector while the 1-282086-6 is a six-position connector. Direct replacement depends on whether your application requires all six positions or can operate with individual single-position connectors.

Q: What does IDC termination mean for wire compatibility?

A: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination allows discrete wires to be inserted directly into the connector without prior stripping. Both the main part and substitute support 15-20 AWG wire gauges through this termination method.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the 1-282086-6 is no longer in active production. The manufacturer recommends transitioning to the 1-282086-7 for new applications and ongoing support.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the substitute part?

A: ROHS3 compliance certifies that the 1-282086-7 meets current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions, ensuring regulatory compliance for applications subject to these requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1-282086-6 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1-282086-7 is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and bulk handling.
