IL-Y-6S-S15C3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL-Y-6S-S15C3 is a 6-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by JAE Electronics with a 1.50mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The receptacle housing accepts female socket contacts via crimp termination and features a friction lock fastening mechanism. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent active alternatives are required for new designs and component replenishment.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IL-Y-6S-S15C3 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Must be a receptacle housing with female socket contacts
  • Position Count & Pitch: Exactly 6 positions at 0.059" (1.50mm) pitch
  • Row Configuration: Single row layout
  • Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
  • Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66) or equivalent nylon 6/6 composition
  • Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating or better

The ZHR-6 manufactured by JST Sales America Inc. meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZHR-6 is the qualified substitute for the IL-Y-6S-S15C3 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The IL-Y-6S-S15C3 is obsolete with no active manufacturing support. The ZHR-6 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability (21,097 pcs in stock) and ongoing production capability.

Compliance & Certifications: The ZHR-6 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory assurance for current and future applications. The IL-Y-6S-S15C3 compliance documentation is not specified.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 6-position, 1.50mm pitch, single-row receptacle configuration with crimp termination and polyamide insulation.

Thermal Performance: The ZHR-6 specifies an operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, providing defined thermal boundaries for system design. The IL-Y-6S-S15C3 does not specify operating temperature limits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ZHR-6 directly replace the IL-Y-6S-S15C3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are 6-position, 1.50mm pitch receptacle housings with identical contact type, termination method, and insulation material. The ZHR-6 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference in color between these parts?

A: The IL-Y-6S-S15C3 housing is brown, while the ZHR-6 is natural (off-white/cream). This is a cosmetic difference only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Verify color requirements for your specific application.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the IL-Y-6S-S15C3 and ZHR-6 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Both parts carry this rating.

Q: Why is the IL-Y-6S-S15C3 obsolete?

A: The IL-Y-6S-S15C3 is classified as obsolete by JAE Electronics, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The ZHR-6 from JST provides an active alternative with current production support and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any fastening differences between these parts?

A: The IL-Y-6S-S15C3 specifies friction lock fastening. The ZHR-6 fastening type is not specified in available documentation. Confirm fastening mechanism compatibility with your mating connector before implementation.
