CUI Devices T-0006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CUI Devices T-0006 is a stamped pin contact designed for circular connectors, rated for 26-28 AWG wire gauges with a 2.0mm contact size and crimp termination. The contact features tin finish and insulation support, classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete classification, identifying equivalent substitute parts with compatible electrical and mechanical parameters is necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T-0006 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Contact Type: Pin (maintained across all substitutes)
• Contact Termination: Crimp (maintained across all substitutes)
• Contact Finish: Tin (maintained across all substitutes)
• Features: Insulation Support (maintained across all substitutes)
• Manufacturer: CUI Devices (maintained across all substitutes)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Overlapping or equivalent AWG ranges
• Contact Size: Mechanical compatibility within connector assembly specifications
• RoHS Compliance: Maintained or upgraded compliance status

The T-0008 qualifies as a substitute part based on shared core parameters: stamped pin contact type, crimp termination, tin finish, insulation support, and CUI Devices manufacture. Wire gauge and contact size variations are within acceptable substitution parameters for circular connector pin contacts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T-0008 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, providing a current-generation alternative to the obsolete T-0006. Both parts share identical contact termination, finish, and insulation support characteristics. The T-0008 operates within the wire gauge range of the T-0006 (26 AWG falls within the 26-28 AWG specification) and features phosphor bronze contact material with tin finish.

The primary mechanical difference is the contact size: T-0008 uses 1.9mm versus T-0006's 2.0mm. This 0.1mm variation requires verification of mechanical compatibility within the specific connector housing and mating interface. Both parts maintain MSL 1 rating and identical export classification (EAR99).

Selection of T-0008 as a substitute is supported by active product status, upgraded RoHS compliance, and availability of 1116 units in stock compared to the obsolete T-0006 status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T-0008 directly replace T-0006 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement depends on connector housing compatibility. The 0.1mm contact size difference (1.9mm vs 2.0mm) must be verified against the specific circular connector housing specifications. Both parts share identical crimp termination, tin finish, and insulation support features.

Q: Are the wire gauge specifications compatible?

A: The T-0008 operates at 26 AWG, which falls within the T-0006's 26-28 AWG range. This represents a compatible subset of the original specification.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference?

A: The T-0006 contact material is not specified in available documentation. The T-0008 specifies phosphor bronze contact material with tin finish. Both maintain identical tin finish and electrical performance characteristics for circular connector applications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The T-0008 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an upgraded regulatory status. This does not prevent substitution and indicates enhanced compliance with current environmental regulations.

Q: What are the inventory implications?

A: The T-0006 is obsolete with 745 units available. The T-0008 is active production with 1116 units in stock, providing superior long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
