Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1-943036-6 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part 1-1761199-6 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 16-position SDL jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design, phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, polyester housing, and identical operating temperature range. Both parts are classified under the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040) and ECCN (EAR99), confirming functional equivalence.

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and compliance certification. The 1-943036-6 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 1-1761199-6 is active and ROHS3 compliant. Additionally, the substitute features Board Lock functionality compared to Board Guide on the original, and is supplied in Tube packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-1761199-6 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1-943036-6. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 1-943036-6 is classified as obsolete, making the 1-1761199-6 the required choice for new designs and ongoing procurement. The substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility while ensuring supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: The 1-1761199-6 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original part is RoHS non-compliant and carries undefined REACH status, presenting compliance risks for applications subject to these regulations.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts, including connector type, position count, orientation, termination method, shielding, contact materials, finish specifications, housing material, and operating temperature range. This ensures direct functional substitution without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Packaging and Features: The substitute is supplied in Tube packaging and incorporates Board Lock functionality, compared to the original's Board Guide feature. These differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard through-hole PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1761199-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-943036-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-1761199-6 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-943036-6 across all functional parameters. Both connectors feature identical 16-position SDL jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielding, contact materials, and operating specifications. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between Board Guide and Board Lock features?

A: Board Guide and Board Lock are mechanical retention features on the connector housing. Both secure the connector to the PCB during assembly. The functional difference does not impact electrical performance or standard through-hole mounting compatibility.

Q: Why is the 1-943036-6 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1-943036-6 has been discontinued by TE Connectivity. The 1-1761199-6 is the active production equivalent and should be used for all new procurement and design applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1-1761199-6 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the 1-943036-6 is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status. For applications subject to environmental regulations, the 1-1761199-6 is the required choice.

Q: Does packaging affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: No. The 1-1761199-6 is supplied in Tube packaging, while the original part packaging is not specified. Packaging affects handling and storage logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness, ensuring identical electrical conductivity and contact reliability.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both connectors?

A: Both the 1-943036-6 and 1-1761199-6 operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 80°C.
