Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 282832-6 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Header Orientation: Vertical
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: Solder
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Unshrouded
• Voltage Rating (UL): 300 V minimum
• Current Rating (UL): 12 A minimum
• Contact Tail Length: 0.138" (3.50mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.079" (2.00mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must satisfy all critical matching parameters and maintain compliance certifications. Variations in housing color, series designation, or manufacturer do not affect substitution eligibility when all electrical and mechanical specifications are met.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1546931-6 (Direct Substitute)

The 1546931-6 is a direct equivalent to the 282832-6. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Buchanan series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is housing color (black versus green). Both parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 1546931-6 is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the 282832-6 is specified, with no functional or performance impact.

Phoenix Contact 1933228 (Similar Substitute)

The 1933228 is a cross-manufacturer substitute from Phoenix Contact's COMBICON PST series. This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. The 1933228 provides enhanced current rating (16 A UL versus 12 A UL) and additional IEC voltage rating (400 V IEC). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 classification. The 1933228 is suitable for applications requiring the 282832-6 specification and offers higher electrical performance margins.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and are available in production quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1546931-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 282832-6?

A: Yes. The 1546931-6 is a direct equivalent manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. All electrical ratings (12 A at 300 V UL), mechanical dimensions (6 positions, 5.00mm pitch, vertical orientation), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0) are identical. The housing color difference (black versus green) does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What are the key differences between the 282832-6 and the Phoenix Contact 1933228?

A: Both parts share identical mechanical specifications (6 positions, 5.00mm pitch, vertical through-hole solder termination) and UL voltage rating (300 V). The 1933228 provides higher UL current rating (16 A versus 12 A) and includes IEC ratings (12 A at 400 V). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 1933228 is from a different manufacturer (Phoenix Contact) and series (COMBICON PST).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist when substituting between the 282832-6, 1546931-6, and 1933228. All three parts maintain identical contact tail length (0.138"), insulation height (0.079"), and solder termination style. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are compatible across all three parts.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, which means the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All three substitute parts carry this classification, eliminating moisture-related storage or preparation requirements.

Q: Can the 1933228 be used in applications originally designed for the 282832-6?

A: Yes. The 1933228 meets or exceeds all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the 282832-6. The higher current rating (16 A UL) and additional IEC voltage rating (400 V) provide enhanced performance margins. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: Inventory availability varies. The 282832-6 has 882 pieces in stock, the 1546931-6 has 1797 pieces, and the 1933228 has 7611 pieces available. Substitute part selection should consider both technical compatibility and inventory requirements for project timelines.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The 282832-6 and 1546931-6 share identical UL electrical ratings (12 A at 300 V). The 1933228 provides additional IEC certification (12 A at 400 V IEC).
