MD-60SMW Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MD-60SMW is a 6-position circular connector receptacle with female sockets designed for solder termination. Manufactured by CUI Devices, this Mini DIN connector features a through-hole, right-angle mounting configuration with push-pull fastening and keyed orientation. The connector is shielded, rated for 1A–2A current and 100VAC/12VDC voltage, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.

The MD-60SMW is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability for applications requiring this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MD-60SMW is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (6)
• Shell size classification (Mini DIN)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Keyed orientation
• Shell material (PBT)
• Contact finish (Silver)
• Shielding requirement (Shielded)
• Current and voltage ratings (1A–2A, 100VAC/12VDC)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)

The MD-60SM meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MD-60SM is the direct substitute for the MD-60SMW. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The MD-60SM is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (44,452 pieces versus 719 pieces for the obsolete MD-60SMW).

The MD-60SM provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -25°C to 85°C), offering improved performance in low-temperature environments. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance status. The MD-60SM is supplied in tray packaging, standard for active production components.

Selection of the MD-60SM eliminates obsolescence risk and ensures long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MD-60SMW and MD-60SM mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical shell size (Mini DIN), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: Do the connectors have the same electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both are rated for 1A–2A current and 100VAC/12VDC voltage. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: The MD-60SMW operates from -25°C to 85°C. The MD-60SM extends the lower limit to -40°C, providing a wider operating envelope. Both maintain the same upper temperature limit of 85°C.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MD-60SMW is RoHS Compliant. The MD-60SM is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The MD-60SMW packaging specification is not detailed in available data. The MD-60SM is supplied in tray packaging, standard for active production components.

Q: Why is the MD-60SMW classified as obsolete?

A: The MD-60SMW has been superseded by the MD-60SM in the product line. The MD-60SM is the current active equivalent and is recommended for all new designs and replacements.
