MODS-E-6P6C-G Modular Connector Jack 6P6C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MODS-E-6P6C-G is a modular connector jack manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for 6-position 6-contact (6P6C) applications including RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 configurations. This vertical, unshielded through-hole connector features solder termination and board lock functionality. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MODS-E-6P6C-G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (6P6C for RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, RJ25 compatibility)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Orientation (Vertical)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shielding classification (Unshielded)
• Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze with Gold plating)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Five substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact finish thickness, housing material composition, and operating temperature ranges are secondary parameters that do not prevent functional substitution when the primary criteria are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The primary distinction between options is product status: all substitutes are active parts with ongoing manufacturer support, whereas the MODS-E-6P6C-G is obsolete.

The Molex 0424106168 offers the highest contact finish thickness at 50.0µin and includes panel stops in addition to board lock features. This part operates across -40°C to 80°C, which covers the original part's operating range with extended low-temperature capability.

The Assmann WSW Components variants (A-2014-1-1, A-2014-1-2, A-2014-1-3, A-2014-1-4-R) provide active alternatives with operating ranges of -40°C to 85°C. These parts feature board lock and panel stops. Contact finish thickness varies across the series (6.00µin to 50.0µin), allowing selection based on specific durability requirements. The A-2014-1-4-R shares the same PBT glass-filled housing material as the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the MODS-E-6P6C-G with any of these parts directly?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence across the critical parameters: 6P6C jack configuration, vertical through-hole mounting, solder termination, unshielded design, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and ROHS3 compliance. Physical footprint and pin assignment are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the Assmann variants?

A: The A-2014-1-1, A-2014-1-2, A-2014-1-3, and A-2014-1-4-R differ primarily in contact finish thickness (15.0µin, 30.0µin, 50.0µin, and 6.00µin respectively) and housing material composition. All maintain the same 6P6C configuration, vertical orientation, and solder termination. Selection depends on contact durability and mating cycle requirements for your application.

Q: Why is the operating temperature range different between parts?

A: Operating temperature range is a secondary parameter that does not affect substitution eligibility. The original MODS-E-6P6C-G operates -25°C to 90°C. Substitute parts operate -40°C to 80°C or -40°C to 85°C, providing extended low-temperature performance. If your application requires the original upper temperature limit of 90°C, verify the substitute part's rating against your specific thermal requirements.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability under repeated mating cycles. Thicker gold plating (50.0µin) provides greater wear resistance for high-cycle applications. Thinner finishes (6.00µin to 15.0µin) are suitable for applications with limited mating cycles. All finishes meet ROHS3 requirements and maintain electrical performance within specified operating parameters.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging?

A: The MODS-E-6P6C-G packaging is not specified in the provided data. All substitute parts are supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm tray quantity and handling requirements with your supplier if specific packaging formats are required.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: All substitute parts carry Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support. The Molex 0424106168 and Assmann A-2014-1-4-R represent established product lines with high inventory levels (12,286 and 10,119 units respectively), supporting consistent long-term availability.
