Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 940-6-SP-3046VB-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 940-SP-3046 maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact configuration (6p4c RJ11/RJ14)
• Shielding classification (Unshielded)
• Termination technology (IDC)
• Cable compatibility (Flat Oval Cable, Solid or Stranded Wires)
• Physical dimensions (0.525" length)
• Electrical ratings (1.5 A current, 150V voltage)
• Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze with 50.0µin gold plating)
• Housing material (Polycarbonate)

The substitute part differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and compliance certifications, with no functional or dimensional deviations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 940-SP-3046 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 940-6-SP-3046VB-1. Selection of the active substitute is based on:

• Complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence
• Active product status with established supply chain availability (31,108 units in stock vs. 647 units for obsolete part)
• ROHS3 compliance certification on the active part, ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements
• Maintained REACH Unaffected status across both parts
• Identical connector specifications for direct form-fit-function replacement

No design modifications are required when transitioning from the obsolete to the active part number.
