Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Adafruit 804 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Position count (6 positions)
• Shell size classification (Mini DIN)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount with Flange)
• Termination method (Wire Leads)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Keyed orientation for polarization
• Electrical ratings (1A/2A current, 100VAC/12VDC voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3)

The CUI Devices MD-60PL100 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CUI Devices MD-60PL100 is the qualified substitute for the Adafruit 804. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and safety standards. The MD-60PL100 additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, providing extended regulatory coverage.
