Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the QR/P6-12S-C(21) directly replace the QR/P6-12S-C(01) in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The QR/P6-12S-C(21) maintains identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and connector style, ensuring direct compatibility in rack and panel backplane applications.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix difference between (01) and (21)?

A: The suffix designates packaging and product status variants within the QR/P6 series. The QR/P6-12S-C(01) is obsolete, while the QR/P6-12S-C(21) is active production. The functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance status and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental and handling requirements.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of the QR/P6-12S-C(21) affect its electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging designation reflects order and delivery configuration only and does not alter connector specifications or performance characteristics.

Q: Are contacts included with either part?

A: No. Both the QR/P6-12S-C(01) and QR/P6-12S-C(21) are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately.
