Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions 105-0251-001 qualifies as a direct substitute for the Keystone Electronics 6024 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Both are female tip jack connectors
• Plug/Mating Diameter: Both accommodate standard tip plugs
• Mounting Configuration: Both feature panel mount installation
• Termination Method: Both utilize solder eyelet(s) for connection
• Insulation & Contact Properties: Both provide mating end insulated, metal clad construction with silver-finished phosphor bronze contacts
• Color Specification: Both are white
• Compliance Standards: Both meet ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) requirements
• Electrical Classification: Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4030) codes

The substitute maintains functional and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters, enabling direct replacement in applications requiring tip jack connectivity with solder eyelet termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Keystone Electronics 6024 and Cinch Connectivity Solutions 105-0251-001 are active production parts meeting ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: The Cinch part (105-0251-001) currently maintains higher inventory levels (1436 Pcs) compared to the Keystone part (999 Pcs)
• Procurement Lead Time: Either part may be selected based on supplier delivery schedules and regional distribution
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 requirements; the Cinch part is REACH Affected while the Keystone part is REACH Unaffected, which may influence selection in specific regulatory jurisdictions
• Packaging Requirements: The Cinch part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Keystone part packaging specification is not detailed

Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent and suitable for direct substitution in panel-mounted tip jack applications requiring solder eyelet termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch Connectivity Solutions 105-0251-001 be used as a direct replacement for the Keystone Electronics 6024?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, gender, plug diameter, mounting method, termination style, insulation type, contact materials, and compliance certifications. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (tip jack), gender (female), plug/mating diameter (standard tip), mounting type (panel mount), termination method (solder eyelet), insulation configuration (mating end insulated, metal clad), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (silver), and color (white).

Q: Are there any differences in body material between these parts?

A: The Keystone part specifies polyamide (PA) nylon, while the Cinch part specifies polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6. Both are polyamide-based nylon materials suitable for the same application requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The Cinch part specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The Keystone part does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the Keystone Electronics 6024 and Cinch Connectivity Solutions 105-0251-001 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Affected and REACH Unaffected status?

A: The Cinch part is REACH Affected, indicating it may contain substances of concern regulated under REACH. The Keystone part is REACH Unaffected. Selection may depend on specific regulatory requirements in your application region.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for solder eyelet termination?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature solder eyelet termination, enabling direct soldering to PCBs or wire connections without additional crimping or assembly steps.
