Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AFD50-10-6PN are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 6-position receptacle housing for male pins
• Shell Size: 10-6 insert designation
• Mounting Interface: Panel mount with flange mounting feature
• Fastening Mechanism: Bayonet lock coupling
• Termination Method: Crimp contact type
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 200°C
• Ingress Protection: Environment resistant classification

The substitute parts PV70L10-6PL and PV70W10-6PL, manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, satisfy these core mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements. Both substitute parts are receptacle housings designed for male pin insertion with identical shell size, mounting configuration, and fastening type. The primary differences between substitutes relate to shell finish and housing color, which do not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AFD50-10-6PN Status: This component is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. For new procurement or system redesign, substitute parts must be selected from active inventory sources.

PV70L10-6PL Selection Criteria: This ITT Cannon part maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original AFD50-10-6PN. The PV70L variant features electroless nickel shell finish with silver housing color, providing visual continuity with the original design. This part is currently active in production. Note that RoHS compliance status differs from the original part (RoHS non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant). Contact requirements must be sourced separately, as this part is supplied as a receptacle housing without integrated contacts.

PV70W10-6PL Selection Criteria: This ITT Cannon part provides identical mechanical and electrical compatibility. The PV70W variant features chromate over cadmium shell finish with olive drab housing color, suitable for military and aerospace applications requiring specific finish specifications. This part is currently active in production. RoHS compliance status differs from the original part. Contact requirements must be sourced separately.

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts are RoHS non-compliant, whereas the original AFD50-10-6PN is ROHS3 compliant. System designers must evaluate regulatory requirements for their specific application before final part selection. Both substitutes maintain EAR99 export classification and unlimited moisture sensitivity level rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PV70L10-6PL and PV70W10-6PL be used interchangeably with AFD50-10-6PN?

A: Both substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the AFD50-10-6PN. The primary differences are shell finish (electroless nickel versus chromate over cadmium) and housing color (silver versus olive drab). Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific finish requirements and environmental specifications.

Q: Why are contacts not included with the substitute parts?

A: PV70L10-6PL and PV70W10-6PL are supplied as receptacle housings only. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and installed into the housing. The original AFD50-10-6PN specification should be consulted to determine the correct contact part number and quantity required.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS non-compliance for the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts PV70L10-6PL and PV70W10-6PL are RoHS non-compliant, whereas the original AFD50-10-6PN is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations (primarily European Union markets) may require compliance verification or alternative sourcing. System designers must confirm regulatory applicability for their target markets.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. The AFD50-10-6PN, PV70L10-6PL, and PV70W10-6PL all operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 200°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.

Q: What is the difference between electroless nickel and chromate over cadmium finishes?

A: Electroless nickel (PV70L10-6PL) provides uniform corrosion resistance and is suitable for general industrial and aerospace applications. Chromate over cadmium (PV70W10-6PL) is a traditional military specification finish offering superior corrosion protection in harsh environments. Selection depends on application environment and military specification compliance requirements.

Q: Are bayonet lock fastening mechanisms identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts utilize bayonet lock fastening, ensuring mechanical coupling compatibility. Mating connectors designed for AFD50-10-6PN will interface correctly with both PV70L10-6PL and PV70W10-6PL receptacles.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement planning?

A: AFD50-10-6PN has 809 pieces in stock but is discontinued. PV70L10-6PL has 901 pieces in active inventory. PV70W10-6PL has 814 pieces in active inventory. For long-term supply chain planning, the active substitute parts are recommended.
