Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the D6208-01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification (DIP/DIL header)
• Position count (8 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.300" / 7.62mm)
• Contact type (slotted)
• Mounting method (through hole)
• Termination process (solder)

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. part number 160-90-308-00-001000 satisfies all critical substitution criteria. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in applications originally designed for the D6208-01.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 160-90-308-00-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. is the qualified substitute for the obsolete D6208-01. Selection is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring availability for ongoing procurement and support.

Mechanical Compatibility: All critical dimensional and positional parameters are identical, including pitch, row spacing, and mounting configuration.

Electrical Interface: Contact type, termination method, and slotted contact design provide equivalent electrical performance.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, MSL rating, REACH status, and ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory consistency in legacy system applications.

Contact Finish Consideration: The substitute features tin-lead finish with increased thickness (200.0µin vs. 137.8µin), providing enhanced durability and solder joint reliability compared to the original tin finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 160-90-308-00-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the D6208-01?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all critical mechanical and electrical interface specifications. Identical pitch, row spacing, position count, and contact configuration ensure direct compatibility in applications originally designed for the D6208-01.

Q: What is the difference between the tin and tin-lead contact finishes?

A: The D6208-01 uses tin finish at 137.8µin thickness. The substitute uses tin-lead finish at 200.0µin thickness. Tin-lead provides improved solder wettability and joint reliability, particularly in wave soldering processes. Both finishes are compatible with standard PCB assembly methods.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory and compliance profiles are equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The 160-90-308-00-001000 is supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly and manual handling.

Q: Is the substitute part currently in stock?

A: The 160-90-308-00-001000 has 985 pieces of new original inventory available, compared to 750 pieces of the obsolete D6208-01.
