Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required
Number of Positions: 6 — exact match required
Number of Rows: 1 — exact match required
Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
Mounting Type: Through Hole — exact match required
Termination: Solder — exact match required
Connector Style: Board to Board (or Board to Board/Cable) — compatible
Shrouding: Unshrouded — exact match required
Contact Shape: Square — exact match required
Fastening Type: Push-Pull — exact match required
Insulation Height: 0.100" (2.54mm) — exact match required

All identified substitutes meet these core criteria. Variations in contact material, insulation material, operating temperature range, current rating, and contact finish thickness represent enhanced or alternative specifications within the same functional category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connectors maintain active product status and full RoHS compliance. Selection between the 929705-01-06-EU and its substitutes depends on application-specific requirements:

The 78511-106HLF (Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK® II) offers enhanced current capacity (5A versus 2.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The thicker gold plating (30.0µin versus 10.0µin) provides increased contact durability. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring higher current handling or wider temperature extremes. REACH status is affected for this part.

The HTSW-106-14-G-S (Samtec) maintains the original current rating specification and operates across -55°C to 125°C. Contact finish thickness matches the original specification (10.0µin). This substitute provides equivalent performance with ROHS3 compliance and is suitable for direct replacement in applications with standard current and temperature requirements.

All three parts share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, mounting method, and termination approach, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 78511-106HLF be used as a direct replacement for the 929705-01-06-EU?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.54mm), position count (6), row configuration (1), contact type (male pin), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (solder). The 78511-106HLF provides enhanced specifications including higher current rating (5A) and extended temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). Physical dimensions and contact geometry are compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol and Samtec substitutes?

A: The 78511-106HLF (Amphenol) provides 5A current capacity and -65°C to 125°C operating range with thicker gold plating (30.0µin). The HTSW-106-14-G-S (Samtec) maintains 2.54mm pitch compatibility with variable current rating by wire gauge and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Both are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The 929705-01-06-EU and 78511-106HLF are supplied in bulk packaging. The HTSW-106-14-G-S is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Do all three connectors meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 929705-01-06-EU and 78511-106HLF are RoHS Compliant. The HTSW-106-14-G-S is ROHS3 Compliant. All three meet RoHS standards applicable to their respective manufacturing dates and regulatory frameworks.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three connectors are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
