Is there a pin-compatible replacement for SM06B-PASS-TBT(LF)(SN)?

Currently, no pin-compatible replacement has been verified. The SMT footprint of the JST PA series is specific, and any alternative requires careful comparison of datasheet mechanical drawings.

What risks should I check before replacing SM06B-PASS-TBT(LF)(SN)?

You must verify three key areas: 1) The SMT footprint on your PCB matches the candidate's datasheet. 2) The candidate's current rating is sufficient for your application. 3) The candidate is compatible with your mating connector.

SM06B-PASS-TBT(LF)(SN) Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | JST

Finding a substitute for the JST SM06B-PASS-TBT(LF)(SN) 6-pin SMT header requires careful review of mechanical and electrical specifications. Key parameters include the 2.0mm pitch, right-angle SMT mounting, and 3A current rating.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

SMT footprints for connectors are not standardized across series or manufacturers.

Electrical riskhigh

Many similar connectors have a lower current rating (e.g., 2A vs. target's 3A).

Sourcing riskmedium

2.0mm pitch headers are common, but finding an exact match for the JST PA series can be difficult.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement has been identified. All potential candidates require engineering review for electrical and mechanical differences.

Best replacement path

Functional alternatives with similar mechanical properties exist, but often have lower current ratings. Verifying the PCB footprint and mating connector is critical.

Main risk

The primary risks are mechanical incompatibility due to different SMT footprints and electrical risk from lower current ratings in alternatives.

Recommended alternatives

A 6-pin, 2.0mm pitch, right-angle SMT header with a lower current rating. Footprint and mating compatibility require verification.
