AFD57-10-6PN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AFD57-10-6PN is a 6-position circular connector plug with male pins manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This connector features crimp termination, bayonet lock fastening, and is designed for free-hanging in-line applications. The part operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 200°C and is rated for 7.5A current capacity. The AFD57-10-6PN is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for ongoing system support and maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AFD57-10-6PN are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 6 positions (electrical interface requirement)
• Shell Size - Insert: 10-6 (mechanical interface requirement)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (installation configuration)
• Termination: Crimp (connection method)
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock (coupling mechanism)
• Orientation: N (Normal) (pin arrangement)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 200°C (thermal operating envelope)
• Ingress Protection: Environment Resistant (environmental sealing)

The substitute parts PV76A10-6PL, PV76L10-6PL, and PV76W10-6PL are ITT Cannon, LLC plug housings that satisfy all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. These components are classified as plug housings for male pins rather than complete plug assemblies. The primary distinction lies in shell finish and housing color, which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (PV76A10-6PL, PV76L10-6PL, PV76W10-6PL) maintain active product status with ITT Cannon, LLC, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The AFD57-10-6PN discontinuation at DiGi Electronics makes these alternatives necessary for system maintenance and repair operations.

PV76L10-6PL is recommended as the primary substitute due to electroless nickel shell finish, which provides corrosion resistance comparable to the original nickel finish of the AFD57-10-6PN and is suitable for general industrial and aerospace applications.

PV76W10-6PL is suitable for military applications requiring chromate over cadmium finish, consistent with MIL-DTL-26482 series specifications and olive drab color coding for military equipment identification.

PV76A10-6PL with anodized finish is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced wear resistance and is commonly used in automotive and general industrial environments.

All substitute parts are RoHS non-compliant, matching the compliance status of the original component. All parts operate within the identical temperature range of -55°C to 200°C and maintain environment-resistant ingress protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PV76A10-6PL, PV76L10-6PL, and PV76W10-6PL be used interchangeably with AFD57-10-6PN?

A: These substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the AFD57-10-6PN based on matching shell size (10-6), position count (6), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), and fastening type (bayonet lock). The primary differences are shell finish and housing color, which do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The three ITT Cannon substitute parts differ only in shell finish and housing color. PV76L10-6PL features electroless nickel finish with silver color, PV76W10-6PL features chromate over cadmium finish with olive drab color, and PV76A10-6PL features anodized finish. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are the substitute parts complete assemblies or housings only?

A: The substitute parts are plug housings for male pins. The AFD57-10-6PN is a complete plug assembly with male pins included. When substituting, ensure that male pin contacts are separately sourced or transferred from the original assembly if required for your application.

Q: Do the substitute parts operate at the same temperature range as the AFD57-10-6PN?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 200°C, matching the thermal specifications of the AFD57-10-6PN.

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

A: All parts, including the original AFD57-10-6PN and the three substitutes, share identical RoHS non-compliant status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). No compliance advantages or disadvantages exist between the original and substitute components.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for military applications?

A: PV76W10-6PL is the appropriate selection for military applications due to its chromate over cadmium finish and olive drab color, which align with military equipment standards and MIL-DTL-26482 series specifications.

Q: What is the current rating of the substitute parts?

A: The current rating is not specified in the substitute part data. Verify current rating compatibility with your application requirements before final component selection.
