Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Keystone Electronics 6089 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional compatibility:

• Connector Type: Double banana plug with stackable design
• Gender: Male
• Mating Interface: Standard banana diameter
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging in-line
• Termination Method: Solderless
• Contact System: Nickel silver material with nickel finish
• Body Construction: Polyamide/nylon material
• Color: Black
• Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson part 108-0253-001 meets these substitution criteria as an active product with identical connector type, gender, mating diameter, mounting style, termination method, contact materials, and body material composition.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 108-0253-001 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Keystone Electronics 6089. Selection is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute is an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Functional Equivalence: All critical connector parameters match the original specification
• Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Material Specification: Body material composition is functionally equivalent (PA66 nylon 6/6 is a standard variant of polyamide nylon)
• Environmental Rating: Identical MSL rating and operating temperature range support

The Cinch part includes set screw features and specified wire gauge (16 AWG) with operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, providing enhanced specification documentation compared to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch 108-0253-001 directly replace the Keystone 6089 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, mating diameter, mounting configuration, and termination method. The physical and electrical interface is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the body materials listed?

A: Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 is a standard engineering variant of polyamide nylon. Both materials provide equivalent mechanical and thermal properties for this connector application.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The Cinch part specifies RoHS compliance while the Keystone part specifies ROHS3 compliance, both meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the set screw feature on the Cinch part?

A: The set screw feature on the Cinch 108-0253-001 provides additional wire retention capability in the solderless termination design, enhancing mechanical stability.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk for the Cinch part) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging is a supply chain consideration only.
