Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the D6218-01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification (DIP/DIL header)
• Position count (18 positions)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.300" / 7.62mm)
• Contact type (slotted design)
• Mounting method (through-hole)
• Termination method (solder)

The substitute part 160-90-318-00-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. satisfies all these parameters, establishing functional and mechanical compatibility for direct substitution applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 160-90-318-00-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. is the designated substitute for the obsolete D6218-01. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, contact type, and mounting method.

The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts share equivalent RoHS non-compliance status and REACH unaffected classification, maintaining consistent regulatory positioning.

The contact finish differs between the two parts: the D6218-01 uses tin finish at 137.8µin thickness, while the 160-90-318-00-001000 uses tin-lead finish at 200.0µin thickness. This difference does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for standard through-hole solder applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 160-90-318-00-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the D6218-01?

A: Yes. Both parts are 18-position DIP/DIL header connectors with identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.300"), contact type (slotted), and mounting specifications (through-hole solder termination). They are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between these parts?

A: The D6218-01 features tin contact finish at 137.8µin (4.60µm) thickness. The 160-90-318-00-001000 features tin-lead contact finish at 200.0µin (5.08µm) thickness. Both finishes are suitable for solder termination applications.

Q: Why is the D6218-01 listed as obsolete?

A: The D6218-01 is no longer in active production. The 160-90-318-00-001000 is the active equivalent part available from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The D6218-01 packaging information is not specified in the available data. The 160-90-318-00-001000 is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and REACH unaffected classification. Both carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited) for moisture sensitivity.
