Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 90HBJ06P are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitution logic follows these criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria (Must Match):

• Circuit type: SPST
• Number of positions: 6
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Termination style: J Lead
• Actuator type: Slide (Standard)

Secondary Substitution Criteria (Must Meet or Exceed):

• Current rating: ≥ 25mA
• Voltage rating: ≥ 24VDC
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -40°C ~ 85°C or broader

Compliance Considerations:

• RoHS and REACH status improvements are beneficial but not mandatory for functional substitution
• Packaging format (Tube vs. other) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

90HBJ06PT (Grayhill Inc.)

The 90HBJ06PT is the primary substitute for the obsolete 90HBJ06P. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (25mA at 24VDC), mechanical dimensions, and pitch. The 90HBJ06PT differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant vs. Non-compliant). All core parameters—circuit configuration, number of positions, actuator type, termination style, and operating temperature range—are identical. This part is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and production restocking.

219-6LPSTJ (CTS Electrocomponents)

The 219-6LPSTJ is a secondary substitute offering enhanced electrical performance and environmental specifications. This part exceeds the current rating requirement (100mA vs. 25mA) and extends the lower operating temperature limit (-55°C vs. -40°C). The voltage rating is 20VDC, which is below the 24VDC requirement of the main part. The 219-6LPSTJ maintains identical circuit configuration, position count, pitch, and termination style. The height above board is 0.020" lower (5.08mm vs. 5.59mm), and moisture sensitivity is improved (MSL 1 vs. MSL 3). This part is suitable for applications where the 20VDC rating is acceptable and enhanced environmental performance is beneficial.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts achieve ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, representing an improvement over the obsolete main part. Selection between 90HBJ06PT and 219-6LPSTJ should prioritize voltage rating compatibility with the application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 90HBJ06PT be used as a direct replacement for the 90HBJ06P?

A: Yes. The 90HBJ06PT maintains identical electrical ratings (25mA, 24VDC), mechanical dimensions, pitch (0.100"), termination style (J Lead), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The only differences are product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance improvement. No circuit redesign or PCB modification is required.

Q: What is the key limitation of the 219-6LPSTJ as a substitute?

A: The 219-6LPSTJ has a voltage rating of 20VDC, which is 4VDC below the 24VDC requirement of the 90HBJ06P. This part is suitable only for applications operating at 20VDC or lower. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are compatible.

Q: Does the 219-6LPSTJ fit the same PCB footprint as the 90HBJ06P?

A: The 219-6LPSTJ maintains the same pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), termination style (J Lead), and mounting type (Surface Mount). The height above board differs by 0.020" (5.08mm vs. 5.59mm), which may affect clearance in space-constrained designs but does not prevent PCB mounting.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 90HBJ06P is listed with packaging "-" (not specified), while both 90HBJ06PT and 219-6LPSTJ are supplied in Tube packaging. Tube packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it is a supply format consideration only.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For applications requiring 24VDC operation, select the 90HBJ06PT. For applications operating at 20VDC or lower where enhanced environmental performance is beneficial, the 219-6LPSTJ is acceptable. Both parts are Active status with improved compliance.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same mechanical life rating?

A: The 90HBJ06PT maintains the same mechanical life specification (2,000 Cycles) as the main part. The 219-6LPSTJ does not specify mechanical life in the provided data. Both parts specify 2,000 Cycles electrical life.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity impact of selecting the 219-6LPSTJ?

A: The 219-6LPSTJ has MSL 1 (Unlimited), compared to MSL 3 (168 Hours) for the main part and 90HBJ06PT. MSL 1 indicates superior moisture resistance and eliminates time-sensitive storage and handling requirements associated with higher MSL ratings.
