TE Connectivity 6-353908-6 Rectangular Connector Receptacle Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 6-353908-6 is a 6-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for the Mini CT series. This component functions as a female socket housing for crimp-terminated contacts operating across a temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The part is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 material and features a 1.50mm pitch configuration suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The product maintains active status with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, inventory alternatives, and sourcing options when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative connector housings with identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 6-353908-6 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (6), pitch (1.50mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), insulation material (polyamide PA66 nylon 6/6), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 unlimited). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within applications designed for the primary part number. Variations in color, manufacturer identity, and operating temperature range do not affect substitution eligibility when the application requirements fall within the overlapping temperature specifications of all candidate parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS environmental regulations, confirming their suitability for current design implementations. The TE Connectivity 6-353908-6 and 353908-6 are functionally identical within the Mini CT series, differing only in housing color (blue versus white). Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C and carry RoHS Compliant certification.

The JST Sales America ZHR-6 connector represents a cross-manufacturer substitute from the ZH series. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters but operates within a narrower temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Selection of the ZHR-6 is appropriate for applications where the operating temperature requirement does not exceed 85°C and where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable.

For applications requiring the full -30°C to 105°C operating range, the TE Connectivity options (6-353908-6 or 353908-6) are the appropriate selections. Color selection between blue and white variants depends on application-specific requirements and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 353908-6 (white) be used as a direct replacement for the 6-353908-6 (blue)?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Mini CT series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 6-position configuration, 1.50mm pitch, crimp termination, polyamide insulation material, and -30°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The difference in housing color does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: Is the JST ZHR-6 a suitable substitute for the TE Connectivity 6-353908-6?

A: The JST ZHR-6 is a parametric equivalent for applications operating within the -25°C to 85°C temperature range. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, mounting type, contact termination method, and insulation material. Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 85°C must use the TE Connectivity variants to ensure compliance with the full specified operating range.

Q: What is the significance of the different RoHS certifications (RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant)?

A: Both certifications confirm environmental compliance and material restrictions on hazardous substances. ROHS3 represents a more recent certification standard. For applications subject to specific regulatory requirements, verification of the applicable RoHS standard is necessary. Both certifications satisfy general RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three part numbers (6-353908-6, 353908-6, and ZHR-6) are housings only. Crimp-terminated contacts must be sourced separately and selected to match the 1.50mm pitch and female socket configuration.

Q: Can these receptacle housings be used interchangeably with different mating connector series?

A: These housings are designed for use within their respective series (Mini CT for TE Connectivity parts, ZH for JST parts). Mating compatibility depends on the specific connector plug design. Verification of mating connector specifications is required to ensure proper alignment and contact engagement.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating indicate?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these components do not require special moisture control handling during storage, transportation, or assembly. Standard warehouse storage conditions are appropriate for these parts.
