Keystone Electronics 6035 Tip Jack Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Keystone Electronics 6035 is an active, ROHS3 compliant tip jack connector designed for panel mount applications. This standard tip turret connector features beryllium copper contacts with silver finish and polyamide body construction. The part is currently in stock with 4025 units available. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative contact materials, termination methods, or body compositions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Keystone Electronics 6035 is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (Tip Jack), gender (Female), mating plug diameter (Standard Tip), mounting type (Panel Mount), insulation configuration (Mating End Insulated), and color (Blue). All identified substitute parts maintain these core functional parameters.

Variations permitted within the substitute group include:

• Contact material: Beryllium copper or brass
• Contact finish: Silver or gold
• Body material: Polyamide (PA), Polyamide (PA66), or polycarbonate (PC)
• Termination method: Turret or threaded and turret combination
• Operating temperature rating: When specified
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 compliance required; REACH status may vary

These variations do not affect the connector's primary function as a standard tip female jack for panel mount turret termination applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for equivalent use in standard applications. Selection between the Keystone 6035 and substitute parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

Keystone Electronics 6035: Primary choice when beryllium copper contact material with silver finish is required. REACH Unaffected status applies. Highest inventory availability at 4025 units.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0610-001: Suitable alternative with brass contacts and silver finish. Polyamide PA66 body material provides equivalent mechanical performance. Note that REACH Affected status applies to this part. Moderate inventory at 1565 units.

Pomona Electronics 3542-6: Applicable when threaded and turret termination combination is required or when polycarbonate body material is specified. Gold contact finish provides alternative surface treatment. Operating temperature rating of 115°C is specified. REACH Unaffected status applies. Lowest inventory at 946 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch 105-0610-001 directly replace the Keystone 6035?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical type, gender, mating plug diameter, mounting type, insulation configuration, and color specifications. The primary differences are contact material (brass versus beryllium copper), contact finish (silver in both), and body material composition (PA66 versus PA). REACH status differs between the two parts.

Q: What is the functional difference between turret and threaded and turret termination?

A: Turret termination provides a single mounting method. Threaded and turret termination, as found in the Pomona 3542-6, offers dual mounting options. Selection depends on application-specific mounting requirements.

Q: Does the Pomona 3542-6 operating temperature rating of 115°C affect substitution eligibility?

A: The operating temperature specification is an additional capability of the Pomona part. It does not prevent substitution but indicates enhanced thermal performance. Applications requiring operation above ambient temperature should reference this specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Keystone 6035 packaging is not specified. Both Cinch 105-0610-001 and Pomona 3542-6 are supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: How do contact material differences affect performance?

A: Beryllium copper (Keystone 6035) and brass (Cinch and Pomona) are both established contact materials for tip jack connectors. Contact finish (silver or gold) provides corrosion resistance. Material selection should align with application electrical and environmental requirements.

Q: What does REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected mean for part selection?

A: REACH Affected indicates the part contains substances of concern under REACH regulations. REACH Unaffected indicates no such substances are present. Selection depends on end-use application regulatory requirements and supply chain compliance obligations.
