Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the D6214-46 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification (DIP/DIL header)
• Position count (14 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.300" / 7.62mm)
• Contact type (slotted configuration)
• Mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH)

The substitute part 160-10-314-00-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. meets all these criteria. The primary difference is the contact finish material: the substitute uses gold plating instead of tin, which represents an enhancement in contact reliability and corrosion resistance while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 160-10-314-00-001000 is a direct functional equivalent to the D6214-46. Both components maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical specifications, and regulatory compliance certifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The transition from tin to gold contact finish in the substitute part provides enhanced performance characteristics in terms of contact resistance stability and environmental durability. Both finishes are ROHS3 compliant and carry equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings.

Selection of the Mill-Max substitute is supported by full compliance alignment across RoHS3 and REACH requirements, with no additional design modifications required for direct replacement in existing through-hole PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 160-10-314-00-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the D6214-46?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch specifications, row configurations, and mounting requirements. The connector will fit existing PCB footprints and mating components without modification.

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

A: Tin and gold are both acceptable contact finish materials for DIP header connectors. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and contact resistance stability over extended operational periods. Tin is a cost-effective alternative suitable for standard applications. Both finishes are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the D6214-46 and 160-10-314-00-001000 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL ratings of 1 (Unlimited). They share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The D6214-46 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 160-10-314-00-001000 is packaged in tubes. This difference does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Why is the D6214-46 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The 160-10-314-00-001000 remains in active production status, providing assured long-term availability for new designs and ongoing production requirements.
