Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Keystone Electronics 6015 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Tip Jack, Female configuration
• Mating Interface: Standard Tip diameter
• Mounting Configuration: Panel Mount with Turret termination
• Insulation & Shielding: Mating End Insulated with Metal Clad construction
• Color Specification: Green
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Body Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99 classification, HTSUS 8536.69.4030

The substitute part Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0204-200 meets all critical functional and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the contact material composition (Brass versus Beryllium Copper), which remains within acceptable electrical performance boundaries for this connector category while maintaining identical mechanical fit, termination method, and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Keystone Electronics 6015 and Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0204-200 are active production parts with identical mechanical fit, electrical interface, and regulatory compliance profiles. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Primary Part (Keystone Electronics 6015): REACH Unaffected status provides simplified regulatory documentation for applications subject to REACH compliance requirements. Current inventory of 2300 units supports immediate availability.

Substitute Part (Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0204-200): REACH Affected status requires additional compliance documentation. Inventory of 1382 units available. Contact material difference (Brass versus Beryllium Copper) does not affect mechanical compatibility or standard electrical performance parameters for this connector category.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and identical termination and mounting specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0204-200 be used as a direct replacement for the Keystone Electronics 6015?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical fit, mounting configuration, termination method, insulation type, and color specification. The contact material difference (Brass versus Beryllium Copper) does not affect mechanical compatibility or standard electrical performance for tip jack applications.

Q: What is the difference in REACH compliance between these parts?

A: The Keystone Electronics 6015 is REACH Unaffected, meaning it does not contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) requiring REACH documentation. The Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0204-200 is REACH Affected and requires compliance documentation. Selection depends on your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the packaging specifications identical?

A: The Keystone Electronics 6015 packaging is listed as standard. The Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0204-200 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet the same RoHS standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and carry identical MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, suitable for unrestricted storage and handling conditions.

Q: What is the basis for substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching connector type (Tip Jack, Female), mating interface (Standard Tip), mounting method (Panel Mount), termination style (Turret), insulation configuration (Mating End Insulated, Metal Clad), color (Green), contact finish (Gold), body material (Polyamide/Nylon), and regulatory classification (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4030).
