Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6-160433-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: tab width (0.187"), tab thickness (0.020"), tab length (0.248"), wire gauge range (15-20 AWG), termination method (crimp), gender (female), insulation status (non-insulated), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), and insulation diameter tolerance (0.091" ~ 0.130"). The substitute part 5-160433-6 maintains identical dimensional and electrical specifications across all these parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility. Contact material composition and finish may vary between equivalent parts while maintaining functional performance within the Faston series connector family.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-160433-6 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 6-160433-5. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, electrical specifications, and operational parameters within the Faston quick-connect terminal series. The 5-160433-6 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence. The contact material difference (phosphor bronze versus brass) does not affect substitution eligibility, as both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and tin finish performance for the specified 15-20 AWG wire gauge application. The 5-160433-6 is supplied in cut tape packaging format, supporting both production and component-level procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-160433-6 directly replace the 6-160433-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-160433-6 maintains identical tab width, thickness, length, wire gauge range, termination method, and mounting configuration. All mechanical and electrical parameters required for connector mating and wire termination are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between these parts?

A: The 6-160433-5 uses phosphor bronze while the 5-160433-6 uses brass. Both materials, when finished with tin plating, provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for 15-20 AWG crimp applications. This material variation does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Why is the 6-160433-5 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 5-160433-6 represents the current active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 6-160433-5 packaging is unspecified in available documentation. The 5-160433-6 is supplied in cut tape (CT) format, which is standard for component-level distribution and automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 6-160433-5 and 5-160433-6 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for international trade and environmental compliance.

Q: What wire gauge range is supported by these connectors?

A: Both connectors support 15-20 AWG wire gauges with an insulation diameter tolerance of 0.091" to 0.130" (2.31mm to 3.30mm).
