JC6-P208-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JC6-P208-06 is a 6-circuit barrier block connector manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. This terminal block features a 0.375" (9.53mm) pitch with screw termination and captive plate design, rated for 20A at 300V. The component is actively produced and maintained in inventory, serving applications requiring reliable electrical distribution and signal routing in chassis and panel-mounted configurations.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design flexibility permits component interchange based on equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the JC6-P208-06 are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Number of circuits: 6
• Pitch spacing: 0.375" (9.53mm)
• Current rating: 20A minimum
• Voltage rating: 300V minimum
• Wire gauge acceptance: 12-22 AWG
• Barrier configuration: 2 Wall (Dual)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Terminal block type: Barrier Block
• Bottom termination: PC Pin
• Mounting configuration: Chassis, Panel; Through Hole
• Flange feature: Present

Regulatory Compliance:

• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS3 compliance: Required

The substitute parts CBP-6 and CBPW-6 (Curtis Industries) meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. CBPW-6 provides an exact match to the JC6-P208-06 top termination design (screws with captive plate), while CBP-6 offers an alternative with standard screw termination without captive plate.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: CBPW-6 (Curtis Industries)

The CBPW-6 provides direct functional equivalence to the JC6-P208-06. Both components feature identical electrical ratings (20A, 300V), mechanical configuration (6-circuit, 0.375" pitch barrier block), and top termination design (screws with captive plate). Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and ROHS3 certification. The CBPW-6 operates at an elevated temperature rating of 140°C compared to the JC6-P208-06 at 105°C, providing enhanced thermal margin. All critical parameters for direct substitution are satisfied.

Secondary Substitute: CBP-6 (Curtis Industries)

The CBP-6 satisfies all electrical and mechanical requirements equivalent to the JC6-P208-06, with the exception of top termination design. The CBP-6 features standard screw termination without captive plate, whereas the JC6-P208-06 includes a captive plate. This difference affects assembly methodology but does not alter electrical performance or current/voltage ratings. The CBP-6 is suitable for applications where captive plate functionality is not required. Like CBPW-6, the CBP-6 provides a 140°C operating temperature rating and maintains full compliance with UL94 V-0 and ROHS3 standards.

Product Status Consideration:

All three components (JC6-P208-06, CBP-6, CBPW-6) maintain active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability, ensuring long-term sourcing stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CBP-6 be used as a direct replacement for JC6-P208-06?

A: CBP-6 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to JC6-P208-06 across all critical parameters including circuit count, pitch, current rating, voltage rating, and barrier configuration. The primary difference is the absence of a captive plate on the screw termination. If the captive plate feature is not required for your application, CBP-6 provides full functional substitution.

Q: What is the difference between CBP-6 and CBPW-6?

A: Both CBP-6 and CBPW-6 are manufactured by Curtis Industries and share identical electrical ratings and mechanical configurations. The distinction is in the top termination: CBPW-6 includes a captive plate with screws (matching JC6-P208-06 design), while CBP-6 features standard screws without captive plate. Select CBPW-6 for direct replacement of JC6-P208-06 when captive plate functionality is required.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: All three components feature identical pitch spacing (0.375"), number of circuits (6), and PC pin bottom termination. PCB footprints designed for JC6-P208-06 are compatible with both CBP-6 and CBPW-6 without modification.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both CBP-6 and CBPW-6 maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance, matching the regulatory profile of JC6-P208-06. Both substitute parts also carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.90.4000 HTSUS code.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between JC6-P208-06 and the substitute parts?

A: JC6-P208-06 is rated for 105°C maximum operating temperature. Both CBP-6 and CBPW-6 are rated for 140°C maximum operating temperature. This higher thermal rating in the substitute parts provides additional design margin for elevated ambient or self-heating conditions.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or current rating limitations with the substitute parts?

A: No. All three components accept 12-22 AWG wire and are rated for 20A continuous current at 300V. Wire gauge and current handling capabilities are identical across JC6-P208-06, CBP-6, and CBPW-6.

Q: What is the barrier type, and is it the same across all three parts?

A: All three components feature 2 Wall (Dual) barrier configuration, providing equivalent electrical isolation and safety characteristics.
