Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the S-306H-AB is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector type and position count (Socket, Jones, 6-position) establish mechanical and electrical interface compatibility. Panel mount configuration with 2-row arrangement and solder eyelet termination must be preserved. Voltage rating of 250 V and operating temperature of 105°C define the electrical and thermal operating envelope. Contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and finish (Tin) ensure consistent contact resistance and reliability characteristics.

The S-2406H-AB qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters: identical connector type, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, voltage rating, and operating temperature. Both parts share the same contact material and finish specifications, ensuring electrical performance equivalence within the defined operating range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The S-2406H-AB is the designated substitute for the obsolete S-306H-AB. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in existing designs. The S-2406H-AB offers the advantage of active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The S-2406H-AB exhibits a higher current rating of 15 A compared to the 10 A rating of the S-306H-AB. This increased current capacity does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original 10 A specification, as the substitute part operates within the same voltage and temperature parameters.

Both parts carry RoHS Compliance certification, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability and supply chain requirements, as the S-306H-AB is obsolete while the S-2406H-AB maintains active status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S-2406H-AB directly replace the S-306H-AB in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The S-2406H-AB maintains identical connector type, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, voltage rating, and operating temperature specifications. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the higher 15 A current rating on the S-2406H-AB?

A: The increased current rating indicates enhanced current-carrying capacity. In applications designed for 10 A operation, the S-2406H-AB operates within its rated limits and presents no compatibility concerns.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The S-306H-AB is supplied without specified packaging, while the S-2406H-AB is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is the S-306H-AB classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured. The S-2406H-AB from the 2400 series represents the current production equivalent within the Cinch Connectivity Solutions product line.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the S-306H-AB and S-2406H-AB are RoHS Compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance.
