Keystone Electronics 6082 Banana Plug Stackable Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Keystone Electronics 6082 is a stackable banana plug connector designed for solderless termination applications. This male connector features a standard banana plug diameter with non-mating end insulation and threaded inserts for secure connections. The part is currently active in production with 1188 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required for applications where the original part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits alternative connector configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions 108-1762-101 is identified as a substitute for the Keystone Electronics 6082 based on the following matching parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Both are male banana plug connectors
• Plug Diameter: Both use standard banana plug diameter
• Mounting Configuration: Both are free hanging (in-line) connectors
• Insulation Design: Both feature non-mating end insulation
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 16 AWG (108-1762-101) accommodates the 0.150" (3.81mm) wire diameter specification
• Color: Both are red
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating
• Termination Flexibility: The 108-1762-101 supports both solder and solderless termination, providing operational compatibility with the solderless-only 6082

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Keystone Electronics 6082 and Cinch Connectivity Solutions 108-1762-101 meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL 1 ratings suitable for unlimited moisture exposure conditions. The 108-1762-101 provides extended operating temperature range documentation (-55°C ~ 85°C) and dual termination capability (solder or solderless), offering design flexibility beyond the solderless-only configuration of the 6082. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific termination requirements and environmental operating conditions. The REACH status difference (Unaffected vs. Affected) may influence supply chain considerations for regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch 108-1762-101 directly replace the Keystone 6082 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, for applications requiring solderless termination. Both connectors share identical plug diameter (standard banana), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), insulation design (non-mating end insulated), and wire gauge compatibility (16 AWG / 0.150" diameter). The 108-1762-101 supports both solder and solderless termination methods, providing operational compatibility with the 6082's solderless specification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: Primary differences include contact material (Phosphor Bronze vs. Nickel Silver), body material specification (PA vs. PA66), contact finish (unspecified vs. Nickel), and documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C for the 108-1762-101). The 108-1762-101 also offers dual termination flexibility.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for substitution?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging with active production status. The Keystone 6082 has 1188 units in stock, while the Cinch 108-1762-101 has 1276 units available. Packaging format is identical for both.

Q: Does the stackable feature of the Keystone 6082 affect substitution compatibility?

A: The stackable designation refers to the connector's mechanical design allowing multiple units to be stacked together. The Cinch 108-1762-101, while not explicitly labeled as stackable, maintains the same standard banana plug diameter and free hanging configuration, supporting mechanical compatibility in most applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The Cinch 108-1762-101 carries REACH Affected status, while the Keystone 6082 is REACH Unaffected. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications.
