Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AFD56-10-6PN are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 6-position plug housing for male pins
• Shell Size: 10-6 insert designation
• Mounting Architecture: Free hanging (in-line) configuration
• Termination Method: Crimp contact type with contact size 20
• Fastening Mechanism: Bayonet lock coupling nut
• Orientation: Normal (N) orientation
• Environmental Rating: Environment resistant ingress protection
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 200°C
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts listed are ITT Cannon, LLC PV series connector housings that satisfy all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements with the original AFD56-10-6PN specification. These substitutes are plug housings designed for male pin configurations and maintain identical shell size, mounting type, fastening type, and operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PV76L10-6PL is the primary substitute for AFD56-10-6PN applications. This part maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility while offering active product status with 1032 units in stock. The electroless nickel shell finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for aviation and automotive environments. However, this part is RoHS non-compliant.

PV76A10-6PL serves as an alternative substitute with anodized aluminum shell finish and 789 units available. This variant is suitable for applications where anodized surface treatment is acceptable. RoHS non-compliance applies to this variant as well.

PV76W10-6PL is available as a third substitute option with chromate over cadmium shell finish and olive drab housing color, providing 1024 units in stock. This finish is specified for military applications requiring specific corrosion protection. RoHS non-compliance applies to this variant.

All three substitute parts are plug housings designed for male pin configurations and require separate contact procurement. Selection between these three variants depends on shell finish requirements and application-specific environmental specifications. The original AFD56-10-6PN is ROHS3 compliant, while all substitute parts are RoHS non-compliant; this distinction must be evaluated against system-level compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PV76L10-6PL, PV76A10-6PL, or PV76W10-6PL directly replace AFD56-10-6PN in existing assemblies?

A: These parts are plug housings compatible with the same 6-position, 10-6 shell size, and bayonet lock fastening system. Mechanical mating is compatible. However, these are housing-only components; contacts are not included and must be procured separately. The original AFD56-10-6PN includes male pins, whereas the substitutes are housings for male pins.

Q: What is the difference between the three PV76 substitute options?

A: The three substitutes differ in shell finish: PV76L10-6PL features electroless nickel finish with silver housing color; PV76A10-6PL features anodized finish; PV76W10-6PL features chromate over cadmium finish with olive drab housing color. All three maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 6-position configuration, 10-6 shell size, bayonet lock fastening, crimp termination, and -55°C to 200°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original part and substitutes?

A: The AFD56-10-6PN is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. All three PV76 substitutes are RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. System-level compliance requirements must be evaluated when selecting substitutes.

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. The PV76L10-6PL, PV76A10-6PL, and PV76W10-6PL are plug housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with these components.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The AFD56-10-6PN is rated for 7.5A. Current rating specifications for the PV76 substitute housings are not provided in the available technical data.

Q: Are all parts suitable for aviation, automotive, and military applications?

A: The AFD56-10-6PN is specified for aviation, automotive, and military applications. The PV76 substitutes are environment-resistant connectors with operating temperature ranges suitable for these application categories. Application-specific validation is required based on system requirements and compliance mandates.
