Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CWN-351-10-0000 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and rows (10 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm mating pitch and row spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The three identified substitute parts—71918-010LF (Amphenol ICC), D3793-6002-AR (3M), and N3793-6002RB (3M)—meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact finish thickness, fastening type, and insulation material do not preclude substitution when the primary functional parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain active product status and meet the core functional requirements of the CWN-351-10-0000. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

71918-010LF (Amphenol ICC): This part offers the highest inventory availability at 3665 units and is packaged in tube format. The Quickie™ series designation indicates a specialized connector line. Operating temperature range is not specified in the provided data, which may require verification for applications requiring the full -55°C to 125°C range of the original part.

D3793-6002-AR (3M): This part is ROHS3 compliant and rated for 1.75A current, exceeding the 1A rating of the main part. Operating temperature is limited to -55°C to 105°C, which is 20°C lower than the CWN-351-10-0000 at the upper limit. Tray packaging is provided with 1589 units in stock.

N3793-6002RB (3M): This part is available in bulk packaging with 1819 units in stock and is rated for 1.75A current. Operating temperature range matches D3793-6002-AR at -55°C to 105°C. REACH status is unaffected, matching the main part specification.

All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring compliance with standard reliability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes these parts electrically equivalent to the CWN-351-10-0000?

A: All substitute parts share the same connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting method (through hole), shrouding (4-wall), termination (solder), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). These parameters define the electrical and mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: Are there any temperature limitations when substituting?

A: The CWN-351-10-0000 operates from -55°C to 125°C. The 71918-010LF does not specify an operating temperature range. The D3793-6002-AR and N3793-6002RB are rated to -55°C to 105°C, which is 20°C lower at the upper limit. Applications requiring operation above 105°C should use the original CWN-351-10-0000 or verify compatibility with the substitute manufacturer.

Q: Do packaging differences affect substitution?

A: Packaging format (bulk, tube, or tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement requirements, handling procedures, and inventory management practices. The CWN-351-10-0000 and N3793-6002RB are both available in bulk packaging.

Q: What is the difference between the two 3M parts (D3793-6002-AR and N3793-6002RB)?

A: Both 3M parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are base product number designation (D3793 versus N3793), packaging format (tray versus bulk), and contact finish thickness on the post (39.4µin versus 200.0µin). Contact material also differs slightly (brass versus copper alloy), though both are acceptable for this application class.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The CWN-351-10-0000 is ROHS3 compliant. The 71918-010LF and N3793-6002RB are RoHS compliant. The D3793-6002-AR is ROHS3 compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements for lead-free applications.

Q: What current rating should I use when selecting a substitute?

A: The CWN-351-10-0000 is rated for 1A. The D3793-6002-AR and N3793-6002RB are rated for 1.75A, providing additional current capacity. The 71918-010LF does not specify a current rating in the provided data. For applications requiring 1A or less, all parts are suitable. For applications exceeding 1A, the 3M parts with 1.75A ratings are preferred.
