Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MB2RJN0601 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters must match identically for a part to function as a direct substitute:

• Connector Type: Receptacle Housing for Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 6 (5 + PE)
• Shell Size - Insert: M23-6
• Contact Size: 2.0mm
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Right Angle
• Fastening Type: Push-Twist
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 130°C
• Shell Material: Zinc Die Cast
• Shielding: Shielded

The MB5RJN0601 meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent substitute. The primary distinction between these parts is product status: MB2RJN0601 is Obsolete, while MB5RJN0601 is Active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB5RJN0601 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MB2RJN0601. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Selection of MB5RJN0601 is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: MB5RJN0601 maintains Active status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and availability.
• Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8538.90.8180).
• Functional Equivalence: All connector specifications, including shell size M23-6, contact configuration, mounting geometry, and environmental ratings (IP67, -20°C ~ 130°C), are identical.
• Series Continuity: Both parts belong to the MotionGrade™ Elite M23 Power Series with Checkmate™ Quick Locking technology.

For new designs and replacement applications, MB5RJN0601 is the appropriate selection. Existing inventory of MB2RJN0601 may be utilized where stock is available, with the understanding that future procurement must transition to MB5RJN0601.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MB5RJN0601 be used as a direct replacement for MB2RJN0601 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. MB5RJN0601 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to MB2RJN0601. All connector parameters, including shell size, contact configuration, mounting type, and environmental ratings, are identical. The parts are interchangeable in applications where MB2RJN0601 was originally specified.

Q: What is the difference between MB2RJN0601 and MB5RJN0601?

A: The primary difference is product status. MB2RJN0601 is classified as Obsolete, while MB5RJN0601 is Active. MB5RJN0601 also specifies Bulk packaging, whereas MB2RJN0601 packaging is not specified. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is MB2RJN0601 marked as Obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on production lifecycle decisions. MB5RJN0601 serves as the active equivalent and should be used for new designs and future procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both MB2RJN0601 and MB5RJN0601 maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8538.90.8180).

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

A: Both parts operate across the range of -20°C to 130°C, suitable for industrial power distribution applications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both MB2RJN0601 and MB5RJN0601 are receptacle housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing.
