Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1376478-6 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (6)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch - mating (0.098" / 2.50mm)
• Voltage rating (minimum 50V)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Style (Board to Cable/Wire)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6, Glass Filled)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)

The JST Sales America Inc. B06B-XASK-1-A meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional substitution with the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1376478-6 and JST B06B-XASK-1-A connectors maintain active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Both parts carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

The TE Connectivity 1376478-6 operates across a wider temperature range (-30°C to 105°C) compared to the JST substitute (-25°C to 85°C). Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 85°C must retain the TE Connectivity part.

The JST B06B-XASK-1-A provides a higher voltage rating of 250V versus the TE Connectivity part's 50V rating. Applications operating at voltages between 50V and 250V may utilize either part; however, applications limited to 50V or below should prioritize the TE Connectivity specification.

Both connectors feature identical pitch (2.50mm), position count (6), shrouding configuration (4-wall), and insulation material composition, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability for standard board-to-cable interconnection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether the JST B06B-XASK-1-A can replace the TE Connectivity 1376478-6?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (6), number of rows (1), pitch (2.50mm), mounting type (Through Hole), shrouding (4-wall), insulation material (PA66 glass-filled nylon), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0). Both parts satisfy these requirements.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting these parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1376478-6 operates from -30°C to 105°C, while the JST B06B-XASK-1-A operates from -25°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 85°C must use the TE Connectivity part. Applications within the -25°C to 85°C range may use either part.

Q: Do the voltage ratings affect substitution eligibility?

A: The TE Connectivity part is rated at 50V, while the JST part is rated at 250V. For applications operating at 50V or below, either part is suitable. For applications between 50V and 250V, the JST part provides additional voltage margin. Applications exceeding 250V require alternative connector selection.

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

A: The TE Connectivity 1376478-6 uses brass contacts, while the JST B06B-XASK-1-A uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are tin-finished and provide equivalent electrical performance for general-purpose applications.

Q: Are the termination methods compatible?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses kinked pin solder termination, while the JST part uses press-fit and solder termination. Both methods are through-hole compatible. Press-fit termination in the JST part provides an alternative assembly option without requiring solder, while kinked pin termination in the TE Connectivity part is solder-only.

Q: Do both parts have the same fastening mechanism?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 1376478-6 uses a latch holder fastening type, while the JST B06B-XASK-1-A uses a locking ramp fastening type. Both mechanisms provide secure mating; however, mating connectors must be compatible with the specific fastening design of the selected header.

Q: What is the inventory availability for these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1376478-6 has 820 pieces in stock. The JST B06B-XASK-1-A has 1623 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components in bulk packaging.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 1376478-6 and JST B06B-XASK-1-A are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.
