Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors is determined by strict equivalence across mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the 215079-6 are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination style (Kinked Pin, Solder)
• Contact finish (Tin plating)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Voltage rating (100VDC)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 7-215079-6 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters, confirming direct substitution capability within the Micro-MaTch series.
