FWS-06-02-T-S-RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FWS-06-02-T-S-RA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board applications. This 6-position connector operates at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and is rated for 11.4A per contact at 500VAC. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector interface, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the original part becomes unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative material specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FWS-06-02-T-S-RA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch - mating: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Contact shape: Square
• Insulation height: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact length - mating: 0.318" (8.08mm)
• Contact length - post: 0.180" (4.57mm)

The HPM-06-02-T-S-RA qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical mechanical and electrical interface parameters. Variations in contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), insulation material (PBT vs. Polyester, Glass Filled), voltage rating (850VAC, 1200VDC vs. 500VAC), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0 vs. unspecified) do not affect functional interchangeability at the connector interface level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FWS-06-02-T-S-RA and HPM-06-02-T-S-RA are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The FWS-06-02-T-S-RA features Phosphor Bronze contacts with Polyester, Glass Filled insulation and is rated for 11.4A per contact at 500VAC.

The HPM-06-02-T-S-RA features Copper Alloy contacts with PBT insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and higher voltage ratings of 850VAC and 1200VDC. Current rating is not specified for the HPM series.

For applications requiring specified current ratings, the FWS-06-02-T-S-RA is the primary selection. For applications requiring enhanced voltage performance or UL94 V-0 compliance, the HPM-06-02-T-S-RA is appropriate. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interface parameters and are suitable for direct substitution at the connector level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HPM-06-02-T-S-RA be used as a direct replacement for FWS-06-02-T-S-RA?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications including 6 positions, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the board interface.

Q: What are the differences between these two connector series?

A: The primary differences are contact material (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy), insulation material (Polyester, Glass Filled vs. PBT), and voltage ratings (500VAC vs. 850VAC/1200VDC). The HPM series includes UL94 V-0 flammability certification. These differences do not affect connector mating or mechanical fit.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs: FWS-06-02-T-S-RA has 756 pieces in stock, while HPM-06-02-T-S-RA has 1509 pieces in stock.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both connectors?

A: Both the FWS-06-02-T-S-RA and HPM-06-02-T-S-RA operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant. The HPM-06-02-T-S-RA additionally carries REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The FWS-06-02-T-S-RA is rated for 11.4A per contact. The current rating for HPM-06-02-T-S-RA is not specified in the available data.
