Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the D6232-46 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 32-position, 2-row DIP/DIL header format
• Pitch and Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 0.600" (15.24mm) row spacing
• Contact Interface: Slotted contact design for reliable mating
• Termination Method: Solder termination for PCB integration
• Compliance Requirements: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part 160-10-632-00-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary difference is the contact finish material (gold versus tin), which does not affect functional compatibility for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 160-10-632-00-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. is the direct substitute for the obsolete D6232-46. Both parts maintain identical mechanical footprints, electrical specifications, and compliance certifications. The Mill-Max part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, making it suitable for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and carry MSL 1 ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. The gold contact finish of the substitute part provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin finish of the original part, with no impact on electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 160-10-632-00-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the D6232-46?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, contact type, mounting method, and termination. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

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

A: Tin contacts provide basic corrosion resistance suitable for standard applications. Gold contacts offer superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, particularly beneficial in high-reliability or high-cycle mating environments. Both finishes are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the D6232-46 and 160-10-632-00-001000 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 ratings, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The D6232-46 is obsolete and no longer manufactured by Harwin Inc. The 160-10-632-00-001000 is in active production by Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp., ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and production runs.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The D6232-46 packaging information is not specified in the available data. The 160-10-632-00-001000 is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for DIP header connectors and suitable for both manual and automated assembly processes.
