Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • 16-position configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
  • Receptacle connector type with female socket contacts
  • Through-hole solder termination
  • Push-pull fastening mechanism
  • Gold or tin contact finish on mating surface
  • Operating temperature range compatibility
  • RoHS and REACH compliance status

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct receptacle equivalents and header connector alternatives. Receptacle substitutes maintain identical connector type and style. Header connector substitutes (PPPC161LFBN-RC, PPTC161LFBN-RC) provide functional equivalence through board-to-board mating capability but differ in connector classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Receptacle Equivalents (Preferred Category)

M20-7821642 and M20-7821646 (Harwin Inc.) provide the closest electrical equivalence to the Molex 0901471316. Both maintain 3A current rating, achieve higher voltage rating (1000V), and are ROHS3 compliant. M20-7821642 offers gold mating contact finish matching the original specification, while M20-7821646 provides tin finish for applications where contact finish flexibility is acceptable.

6-534237-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) is AMPMODU Mod IV series with gold mating contacts and extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C). Current rating is reduced to 2A, requiring verification for applications demanding the full 3A specification.

SSW-116-01-F-S (Samtec Inc.) features forked contact geometry with higher current capacity (4.7A per contact) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). ROHS3 compliance and gold finish align with original specifications.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) Dubox™ Series

75915-316LF provides gold mating contact finish with identical mechanical dimensions. 75915-416LF offers tin finish alternative. Both are RoHS compliant but lack published current and voltage ratings in provided data.

Header Connector Alternatives

PPPC161LFBN-RC and PPTC161LFBN-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions) function as board-to-board connectors with 3A current rating and ROHS3 compliance. These are classified as headers rather than receptacles, requiring mechanical compatibility verification in target applications. PPPC161LFBN-RC features gold mating contacts; PPTC161LFBN-RC provides tin finish.

Compliance Status

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance (either RoHS or ROHS3). REACH status varies; M20-7821642, M20-7821646, and SSW-116-01-F-S are REACH Unaffected, matching the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 75915-416LF (tin finish) replace 0901471316 (gold finish)?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility exists due to identical 16-position 0.100" pitch configuration and through-hole solder termination. Contact finish difference (tin vs. gold) affects corrosion resistance and contact reliability characteristics. Application environment determines acceptability.

Q: What is the difference between receptacle and header connector types in this list?

A: Receptacle connectors (0901471316, 6-534237-4, 75915-316LF, 75915-416LF, 76308-116LF, M20-7821642, M20-7821646, SSW-116-01-F-S) accept male pins. Header connectors (PPPC161LFBN-RC, PPTC161LFBN-RC) provide female sockets on a board-mounted header. Both enable board-to-board mating but require compatible mating components.

Q: Why does 6-534237-4 show 2A current rating instead of 3A?

A: Current rating is a manufacturer-specified parameter based on contact design and material. The 2A rating for 6-534237-4 reflects TE Connectivity's design specification for AMPMODU Mod IV series. Applications requiring 3A must verify this reduced rating against circuit requirements.

Q: Are M20-7821642 and M20-7821646 interchangeable?

A: Both are Harwin M20 series 16-position receptacles with identical mechanical form factor, current rating (3A), and voltage rating (1000V). The difference is mating contact finish: M20-7821642 is gold-plated; M20-7821646 is tin-plated. Interchangeability depends on application requirements for contact finish properties.

Q: What does "ROHS3 Compliant" mean versus "RoHS Compliant"?

A: Both indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 refers to the third iteration of the directive with updated restricted substance lists. Parts marked ROHS3 Compliant meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: Can SSW-116-01-F-S handle higher current than the original part?

A: SSW-116-01-F-S is rated 4.7A per contact versus 3A for 0901471316. Higher current capacity provides design margin but does not require application redesign. Connector selection should match actual circuit current requirements.

Q: What is the significance of "Forked" contact type in SSW-116-01-F-S?

A: Forked contacts feature a split design that increases contact surface area and improves electrical reliability through redundant contact points. This design supports the higher current rating (4.7A per contact) compared to standard square contacts.
