WAGO 2060-901 SSL Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WAGO 2060-901 is a Solid State Lighting (SSL) connector classified as a 1-position jumper board-to-board poke-in connector with free-hanging in-line mounting. This connector is designed for board-to-board linking applications requiring a 600V voltage rating and 9A current capacity. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure design compatibility in new procurement cycles.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the WAGO 2060-901 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent or be compatible with the original design:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Jumper
• Number of positions: 1
• Style: Board to Board
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination method: Poke-In
• Contact material: Copper Alloy
• Operating temperature range: -60°C to 105°C
• Current rating: 9A

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Contact finish: Tin or Silver (both provide adequate electrical conductivity)
• Housing material: Polyphthalamide (PPA) or Polyamide (PA) nylon 6/6 (both meet mechanical requirements)
• Voltage rating: Substitute may have lower voltage rating if application requirements permit

The WAGO 2060-951/028-000 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while maintaining functional equivalence in board-to-board jumper applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WAGO 2060-951/028-000 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete WAGO 2060-901. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The original 2060-901 is obsolete. The 2060-951/028-000 maintains active product status with current manufacturing and supply availability (3231 units in stock versus 701 units of the obsolete part).

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for board-to-board jumper applications, including 1-position configuration, poke-in termination, and 9A current capacity across the full -60°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The original part status does not specify these certifications.

Voltage Rating Consideration: The substitute part has a 250V voltage rating compared to the original 600V rating. This represents a reduction in voltage capability. Selection of the substitute is appropriate only for applications where the actual operating voltage does not exceed 250V.

Material and Contact Finish: The substitute uses silver contact finish and polyamide nylon 6/6 housing instead of tin finish and glass-filled polyphthalamide. Both material combinations provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the specified application category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2060-951/028-000 be used as a direct replacement for the WAGO 2060-901 in all applications?

A: The 2060-951/028-000 is functionally equivalent for board-to-board jumper applications requiring up to 250V and 9A. If the original application requires voltage ratings above 250V, the substitute is not appropriate. Verify the actual operating voltage of your application before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the tin and silver contact finishes?

A: Both tin and silver finishes on copper alloy contacts provide adequate electrical conductivity for this connector category. Silver offers superior corrosion resistance in certain environments, while tin is a standard industrial finish. Both are acceptable for the specified poke-in termination method.

Q: Are the housing materials interchangeable?

A: Polyphthalamide (PPA) glass-filled and Polyamide (PA) nylon 6/6 are both suitable for board-to-board connector housings. The nylon 6/6 material in the substitute part meets the same mechanical and thermal requirements across the -60°C to 105°C operating range.

Q: What does the mating cycles specification mean?

A: The substitute part specifies 10 mating cycles, indicating the connector is rated for 10 connect/disconnect operations. The original part does not specify this parameter. For applications requiring frequent mating and unmatching, verify that 10 cycles meets your operational requirements.

Q: Is the WAGO 2060-951/028-000 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the substitute part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These certifications confirm compliance with current European environmental and chemical safety regulations for electronic components.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The substitute part is supplied in box packaging. The original part packaging is not specified. Confirm that box packaging is compatible with your receiving and inventory management procedures.
