Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WP6-S024VA2-R6000 and WP6C-S024VA1-R6000 are classified as parametric equivalents based on matching specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following parameters are identical:

• Number of positions: 24
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Connector type: Receptacle, Center Strip Contacts
• Contact finish: Gold at 4.00µin (0.100µm) thickness
• Mated stacking height: 0.8mm
• Height above board: 0.031" (0.80mm)
• Solder retention feature presence
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1

Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications (RoHS, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040), confirming full interchangeability for applications requiring these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WP6C-S024VA1-R6000 is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete WP6-S024VA2-R6000. Selection of the WP6C variant is supported by:

• Identical electrical specifications across all 17 critical parameters
• Matching RoHS compliance and regulatory certifications
• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical contact geometry, pitch, and mating interface specifications
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity classification and environmental performance

The primary distinction is packaging format: the WP6C-S024VA1-R6000 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations. Applications currently using the WP6-S024VA2-R6000 can transition directly to the WP6C-S024VA1-R6000 without design modifications or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WP6C-S024VA1-R6000 be used as a direct replacement for WP6-S024VA2-R6000?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The WP6C variant is the active equivalent and is fully interchangeable for all applications requiring a 24-position, 0.40mm pitch, surface mount rectangular connector receptacle with gold contacts.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The WP6-S024VA2-R6000 is obsolete, while the WP6C-S024VA1-R6000 is active. The WP6C is packaged in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for automated assembly. Both parts share identical connector specifications, contact finish, and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from WP6-S024VA2-R6000 to WP6C-S024VA1-R6000?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Mating interface dimensions, contact pitch, stacking height, and all electrical properties are identical. PCB footprints and mating connector designs require no modification.

Q: What does the Tape & Reel packaging mean for the WP6C variant?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is the standard format for surface mount components in automated assembly environments. Components are supplied on continuous tape wound on reels, enabling direct feeding into pick-and-place equipment. This packaging format is more efficient for production than alternative formats.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the WP6-S024VA2-R6000 and WP6C-S024VA1-R6000 are RoHS compliant and carry identical regulatory certifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control measures.
