Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QR/P6-6P-C(21) be used as a direct replacement for QR/P6-6P-C(01)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting style, and color. The QR/P6-6P-C(21) is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. QR/P6-6P-C(01) is obsolete, while QR/P6-6P-C(21) is active. Packaging differs slightly: QR/P6-6P-C(21) is supplied in bulk. All functional and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from QR/P6-6P-C(01) to QR/P6-6P-C(21)?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and compliance certifications.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for these connectors?

A: These parts are housings only. Male pin contacts must be sourced separately and inserted into the housing to complete the connector assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both QR/P6-6P-C(01) and QR/P6-6P-C(21) are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
