Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MD-60SM manufactured by CUI Devices qualifies as a substitute for the A-DIO-FS06 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Both are receptacle connectors with female sockets
• Number of Positions: Both feature 6-position configuration
• Shell Size: Both use Mini DIN form factor
• Mounting Type: Both support through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Termination Method: Both utilize solder termination
• Fastening Type: Both employ push-pull fastening
• Orientation: Both are keyed connectors
• Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 standard

Substitution is valid where application requirements permit differences in shielding configuration, shell material composition, contact finish, and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the A-DIO-FS06 and MD-60SM are Active product status components, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements:

A-DIO-FS06 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring unshielded configuration
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C
• Metal shell construction with nickel finish
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• Board guide and board lock features

MD-60SM Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring shielded configuration
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
• Plastic shell construction (PBT material)
• Silver-plated mating contacts
• Ground feature integration
• RoHS3 compliance requirement
• REACH unaffected status

Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and support 2A current rating at their respective voltage specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MD-60SM replace A-DIO-FS06 in all applications?

A: MD-60SM qualifies as a substitute where application requirements permit differences in shielding (shielded vs. unshielded), shell material (PBT plastic vs. brass metal), contact finish (silver vs. gold), and minimum operating temperature (-40°C vs. -55°C). Verify these parameters against your specific application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these connectors?

A: The A-DIO-FS06 features an unshielded metal shell with gold-plated contacts and extended low-temperature operation to -55°C. The MD-60SM features a shielded plastic shell with silver-plated contacts and operates to -40°C minimum. Both maintain identical form factor, pin count, mounting type, and termination method.

Q: Are both connectors compatible with the same mating plugs?

A: Both connectors use the 6-position Mini DIN keyed configuration with push-pull fastening. Mechanical compatibility with standard Mini DIN 6-position plugs is maintained. Verify electrical specifications and shielding requirements for your specific application.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: A-DIO-FS06 is supplied in Bulk packaging. MD-60SM is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do these connectors have different compliance certifications?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. MD-60SM carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Confirm compliance requirements for your application and region.
