S-306H-CCT Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The S-306H-CCT is a 6-position Jones connector socket manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions, designed for blade type power connector applications. This component features solder eyelet termination, free-hanging (in-line) mounting, and is rated for 250 V at 10 A operation. The S-306H-CCT is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is not required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the S-306H-CCT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type: Socket, Jones (6-position, 2-row configuration)
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination method: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Physical features: Hood and Cable Clamp present

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating: 250 V minimum
• Current rating: 10 A minimum
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Tin

Environmental & Regulatory:

• Operating temperature: 105°C
• RoHS compliance required
• Insulation material: Phenol Formaldehyde (Phenolic)

The S-2406H-CCT meets all substitution criteria. While it belongs to the active 2400 series (versus the obsolete 300 series), it maintains identical mechanical form factor, electrical specifications, and regulatory compliance. The S-2406H-CCT provides enhanced current rating (15 A versus 10 A), which represents a performance upgrade within the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution:

The S-2406H-CCT is the appropriate substitute for the S-306H-CCT in all applications where the obsolete 300 series component is no longer available. Both connectors are manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters.

Advantages of S-2406H-CCT:

The S-2406H-CCT belongs to the active 2400 series product line, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The component carries current RoHS compliance certification and is available in bulk packaging. The 15 A current rating provides operational margin above the 10 A specification of the original part, supporting applications with moderate current growth or design optimization.

Regulatory Compliance:

Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications, ensuring no change to export control or tariff documentation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S-2406H-CCT be used as a direct replacement for the S-306H-CCT?

A: Yes. The S-2406H-CCT is mechanically and electrically compatible with the S-306H-CCT. Both connectors feature identical 6-position, 2-row Jones socket configuration, solder eyelet termination, 250 V voltage rating, and 105°C operating temperature. The S-2406H-CCT provides a 15 A current rating compared to the S-306H-CCT's 10 A rating, representing a performance upgrade within the same connector family.

Q: Why is the S-306H-CCT listed as obsolete?

A: The S-306H-CCT belongs to Cinch Connectivity Solutions' 300 series product line, which has been superseded by the active 2400 series. The S-2406H-CCT represents the current production equivalent, offering improved availability and long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are there any physical differences between these connectors?

A: No physical differences exist between the S-306H-CCT and S-2406H-CCT. Both connectors share identical dimensions, mounting configuration, hood design, cable clamp features, and color specification (black).

Q: What is the impact of the higher current rating on the S-2406H-CCT?

A: The S-2406H-CCT's 15 A current rating is fully backward compatible with applications designed for the S-306H-CCT's 10 A specification. The higher rating does not affect connector form factor, mating characteristics, or thermal performance. Applications operating at or below 10 A experience no change in operation.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the S-306H-CCT and S-2406H-CCT are RoHS compliant, meeting all applicable environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The S-306H-CCT was available in standard packaging (status: obsolete). The S-2406H-CCT is currently available in bulk packaging, supporting both prototype and production volume requirements.
