Keystone Electronics 6005 Tip Plug Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Keystone Electronics 6005 is a solderless tip plug connector designed for standard tip applications. This connector features a male gender configuration with solderless termination, suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing procurement and assembly requirements. Active alternatives are available from both the original manufacturer and compatible third-party suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Keystone Electronics 6005 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Connector type and gender (Tip Plug, Male)
• Plug/mating plug diameter (Standard Tip)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Termination method (Solderless)
• Wire gauge compatibility (16 AWG)
• Contact material and finish (Brass with Nickel plating)
• Body material (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: Keystone Electronics 6002 (manufacturer-recommended alternative) and Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0310-001 (direct functional equivalent).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using Keystone Electronics 6005, the Keystone Electronics 6002 is the primary substitute. Both parts are manufactured by Keystone Electronics, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The 6002 is actively produced and available in higher inventory quantities.

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0310-001 serves as a direct functional equivalent with identical core connector specifications. This part is also actively produced and ROHS3 compliant. Selection between the Keystone 6002 and Cinch 105-0310-001 depends on application-specific requirements: the Keystone 6002 maintains the original 100°C operating temperature rating, while the Cinch part operates within -55°C to 85°C. Additionally, insulation configuration differs between the two substitutes, with the Keystone 6002 providing mating end insulation and the Cinch part providing non-mating end insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Keystone 6002 directly replace the obsolete 6005 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 6002 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and shares all critical specifications with the 6005, including connector type, gender, plug diameter, mounting configuration, termination method, wire gauge, contact materials, and body material. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Keystone 6002 and Cinch 105-0310-001?

A: The Keystone 6002 maintains a 100°C maximum operating temperature and provides mating end insulation. The Cinch 105-0310-001 operates within -55°C to 85°C and provides non-mating end insulation. Both are functionally equivalent for standard tip solderless connector applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The Keystone 6005 was supplied without specified packaging. Both active substitutes (Keystone 6002 and Cinch 105-0310-001) are available in bulk packaging.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant. The Keystone 6005 and 6002 are REACH unaffected. The Cinch 105-0310-001 is REACH affected. All three carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.69.8000 HTSUS code.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The Keystone 6002 supports continuous operation at 100°C, matching the original 6005 specification. The Cinch 105-0310-001 is limited to 85°C maximum operating temperature and is not suitable for applications requiring the full 100°C thermal range.
