Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the M22-6360846 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• 16-position configuration with 2 rows
• 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Surface mount termination with solder connection
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Female socket contact type
• Square contact shape with phosphor bronze material
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Harwin Equivalent: M22-6360842 differs only in contact finish (gold vs. tin) while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications, connector entry style, and insulation material.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (Samtec CLT Series): CLT-108-02-F-D-A-TR, CLT-108-02-F-D-K-TR, CLT-108-02-G-D, CLT-108-02-L-D, CLT-108-02-L-D-BE-P, and CLT-108-02-L-D-P-TR maintain the same 16-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration and push-pull fastening. These parts use liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation instead of polyamide and feature enhanced current ratings (4.1A per contact vs. 2A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 105°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Manufacturer): M22-6360842 is the primary equivalent, offering identical mechanical and electrical performance with active product status. The only difference is gold contact finish versus tin, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability. Both parts maintain the same operating temperature range and current rating.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: Samtec CLT-108 series parts provide functional equivalence with performance enhancements. All CLT variants maintain the critical 16-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration and push-pull fastening required for mechanical compatibility. The CLT series offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current capacity (4.1A per contact), making these parts suitable for applications with more demanding thermal or electrical requirements.

Connector Entry Consideration: CLT-108-02-L-D-BE-P is specified as bottom entry only, while M22-6360846 supports bottom or top entry. Other CLT variants do not specify entry restriction and are compatible with standard board-to-board applications.

Packaging Selection: Samtec CLT parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly (CLT-108-02-F-D-A-TR, CLT-108-02-F-D-K-TR, CLT-108-02-L-D-P-TR) or Tube packaging (CLT-108-02-G-D, CLT-108-02-L-D, CLT-108-02-L-D-BE-P) for manual handling. Harwin M22-6360842 is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CLT-108 series connectors directly replace M22-6360846 in existing designs?

A: Yes, CLT-108 series parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. All maintain 16-position configuration, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, surface mount termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary differences are insulation material (LCP vs. polyamide), enhanced current rating (4.1A vs. 2A per contact), and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 105°C). These differences represent performance improvements suitable for most applications.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences between tin and gold?

A: Tin contact finish (M22-6360846) provides cost-effective connectivity for general applications. Gold contact finish (M22-6360842 and all CLT variants) offers superior corrosion resistance, lower contact resistance, and enhanced reliability in harsh environments or applications requiring extended shelf life. Gold finish is particularly beneficial for industrial and telecommunications applications.

Q: Are there entry style restrictions when substituting with CLT-108 parts?

A: CLT-108-02-L-D-BE-P is specified for bottom entry only. All other CLT variants (CLT-108-02-F-D-A-TR, CLT-108-02-F-D-K-TR, CLT-108-02-G-D, CLT-108-02-L-D, CLT-108-02-L-D-P-TR) do not specify entry restrictions and are compatible with standard board-to-board applications. M22-6360846 supports both bottom and top entry configurations.

Q: What packaging options are available for automated assembly?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is available for automated pick-and-place assembly with CLT-108-02-F-D-A-TR, CLT-108-02-F-D-K-TR, and CLT-108-02-L-D-P-TR. Tube packaging (CLT-108-02-G-D, CLT-108-02-L-D, CLT-108-02-L-D-BE-P) and Bulk packaging (M22-6360842) are suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability. All parts carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 classifications. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: What is the difference between CLT-108-02-F-D-A-TR and CLT-108-02-F-D-K-TR?

A: Both parts are functionally identical 16-position receptacles with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, gold contact finish, and Tape & Reel packaging. The designation difference (A vs. K) reflects internal Samtec product line variations but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance for this application.
