6WWV-08-006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6WWV-08-006 is an 8-circuit barrier block connector manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. This terminal block features a 0.375" (9.53mm) pitch with screws and captive plate termination on the top and wire wrap termination on the bottom. The connector is rated for 25A at 300V and accommodates 18-22 AWG wire gauges. The product is currently active and in stock with 834 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, application requirements, or design standardization needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6WWV-08-006 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Terminal Block Type: Barrier Block
• Number of Circuits: 8
• Pitch: 0.375" (9.53mm)
• Current Rating: 25A
• Voltage Rating: 300V
• Top Termination: Screws with Captive Plate
• Barrier Type: 3 Wall (Tri)
• Number of Rows: 1

Allowable Variations:

• Wire Gauge Range: Substitute must accommodate the 18-22 AWG range of the primary part
• Bottom Termination: May differ (Wire Wrap vs. PC Pin)
• Operating Temperature Range: May differ if within acceptable industrial limits
• Insulation Material: May differ (Polyamide vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate)
• Mounting Type: May include additional mounting options

The Molex 0387244908 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore qualified as a direct substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 6WWV-08-006

The 6WWV-08-006 is the preferred selection when the application requires an operating temperature of 105°C, as the primary part supports this upper limit. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating is specified for this part. The part is RoHS Compliant and carries Active product status with established inventory.

Substitute Part: 0387244908

The Molex 0387244908 is a qualified substitute when the primary part is unavailable or when the application operates within the -40°C to 100°C temperature range. This part is ROHS3 Compliant and Active. The substitute accommodates a wider wire gauge range (12-22 AWG versus 18-22 AWG), providing additional flexibility for conductor sizing. The bottom termination differs (PC Pin instead of Wire Wrap), which affects board-level integration methods. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (25A, 300V), circuit count (8), pitch (0.375"), and barrier configuration (3 Wall Tri).

Selection between these parts is determined by application temperature requirements, termination method compatibility with the target assembly, and availability constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0387244908 replace the TE Connectivity 6WWV-08-006 in all applications?

A: The Molex 0387244908 is electrically and mechanically equivalent for applications operating at or below 100°C. Applications requiring sustained operation at 105°C must use the primary part. The bottom termination method differs (PC Pin vs. Wire Wrap), which affects assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between the two parts?

A: The primary part accommodates 18-22 AWG wire, while the substitute accommodates 12-22 AWG. The substitute's wider range includes smaller gauge conductors. Both parts accept the 18-22 AWG range specified for the primary application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 6WWV-08-006 is RoHS Compliant. The 0387244908 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the difference between Wire Wrap and PC Pin termination?

A: Wire Wrap termination is used for manual wire connections on the bottom side of the connector. PC Pin termination is designed for printed circuit board insertion. The termination method selected depends on the assembly method and target substrate type.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both the 6WWV-08-006 and 0387244908 have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: The 6WWV-08-006 operates at 105°C maximum. The 0387244908 operates from -40°C to 100°C. For applications requiring the full 105°C rating, the primary part is required.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 25A at 300V and feature identical barrier block configuration with 3 Wall (Tri) barriers.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability depends on the specific design requirements. The bottom termination method must be compatible with the assembly process. Temperature requirements must not exceed 100°C for the substitute part. Pitch, circuit count, and electrical ratings are identical, supporting mechanical and electrical interchangeability within these constraints.
