IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This shrouded, single-row 6-position connector operates at 3A per contact with a 2.5mm pitch and gold-plated brass contacts. The part is active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component interchange.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector configuration: 6-position, single-row header with male pins
• Pitch specification: 0.098" (2.50mm) mating pitch
• Mounting method: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding design: Shrouded with 1 wall
• Contact material and finish: Brass with gold-plated mating surface
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA66) or equivalent nylon 6/6
• Compliance standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance

The substitute part 173081-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets these core substitution criteria. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, row configuration, pitch, mounting method, termination style, shrouding, contact material, contact finish, insulation material, and flammability rating. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 and 173081-6 are active production parts with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) compared to the 173081-6 (-20°C to 95°C). Selection between these parts depends on application temperature requirements and physical space constraints, as the 173081-6 has larger overall contact length and insulation height dimensions. Both parts support identical electrical connectivity with 6 positions at 2.5mm pitch and equivalent contact materials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 173081-6 directly replace IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 in all applications?

A: Both connectors share the same 6-position, 2.5mm pitch configuration with identical contact type, material, and finish. However, the 173081-6 has larger physical dimensions (contact length and insulation height). Verify that your PCB layout and mating connector accommodate the larger 173081-6 envelope before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are physical dimensions, operating temperature range, and fastening mechanism. The IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 uses friction lock fastening with a narrower temperature range, while the 173081-6 uses latch holder fastening with extended upper temperature capability. Contact length and insulation height are significantly larger on the 173081-6.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 is RoHS Compliant, and the 173081-6 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The IL-G-6P-S3T2-SA-1 is rated at 3A per contact. The 173081-6 current rating varies by wire gauge.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.
