Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 6387-SC-T-0 belongs to the Pomona Electronics 6387 base product family of standard banana jack connectors. Substitution within this family is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Gender: Female
• Plug/Mating Plug Diameter: Standard Banana
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Insulation: Mating End Insulated
• Color: Black
• Contact Material: Brass
• Body Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon

The primary variable distinguishing substitute parts is the termination method. The 6387-SC-T-0 uses solder termination, while equivalent parts in the series may employ alternative termination technologies such as turret or other connection methods. All parts within this substitution group maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface characteristics, differing only in how the connector attaches to the circuit board or wire.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6387-SC-T-0 and 6387-ST-T-0 maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements, ensuring suitability for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS commodity codes, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.

Selection between these parts depends on termination methodology requirements. The solder termination variant (6387-SC-T-0) integrates with wave soldering or hand soldering assembly processes. The turret termination variant (6387-ST-T-0) accommodates wire wrap or turret-based connection methods. The choice between these termination types is determined by the specific assembly process and circuit board design of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6387-ST-T-0 (turret termination) be used as a direct replacement for the 6387-SC-T-0 (solder termination)?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible at the mating interface. However, they differ in termination methodology. The 6387-ST-T-0 requires turret-based connection techniques, while the 6387-SC-T-0 requires solder connection. Direct substitution is only possible if the assembly process and circuit board design support turret termination.

Q: What determines compatibility between these banana jack connectors?

A: Compatibility is established through matching gender (female), plug diameter (standard banana), mounting type (panel mount), insulation configuration (mating end insulated), contact material (brass), and body material (polyamide/nylon). These parameters ensure mechanical fit and electrical performance at the mating interface.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 6387-SC-T-0 and 6387-ST-T-0?

A: The 6387-SC-T-0 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 6387-ST-T-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both configurations contain new original components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 6387-SC-T-0 and 6387-ST-T-0 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 export classification. They share identical HTSUS commodity codes and are suitable for applications requiring these certifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The sole functional difference is the termination method. The 6387-SC-T-0 uses solder termination for wave or hand soldering assembly. The 6387-ST-T-0 uses turret termination for wire wrap or turret-based connection methods. All other electrical and mechanical characteristics are identical.
