3M 100-016-000 DIP Socket 16-Position Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 100-016-000 is a 16-position DIP socket designed for IC and transistor applications with 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing and gold-plated mating contacts. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The socket accommodates standard 16-pin DIP packages through solder termination with through-hole mounting.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for DIP sockets is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Row Spacing: Must match exactly (16 positions, 0.3" row spacing)
• Pitch Specifications: Mating and post pitch must both be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Material & Finish: Mating contact must be beryllium copper with gold finish
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination required
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 compliance maintained

The Assmann WSW Components AR 16-HZL/07-TT meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in contact finish thickness, post material composition, housing material, and current rating do not preclude functional equivalence when the primary electrical and mechanical interfaces remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Assmann WSW Components AR 16-HZL/07-TT is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 3M 100-016-000. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for the 16-position DIP socket configuration.

The Assmann part offers the advantage of active product status with ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and long-term availability. The higher current rating (3 A versus 1 A) and increased contact finish thickness on mating surfaces provide enhanced performance margins without compromising compatibility.

The operating temperature range of the Assmann part (-40°C ~ 105°C) is narrower than the original 3M component (-65°C ~ 125°C). Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C must evaluate this specification against system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Assmann AR 16-HZL/07-TT be used as a direct replacement for the 3M 100-016-000?

A: Yes. Both sockets share identical pin counts (16), row spacing (0.3"), pitch specifications (0.100"), contact materials (beryllium copper with gold mating finish), and mounting methods (through-hole solder). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), current rating (1 A versus 3 A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 105°C). The Assmann part also features higher contact finish thickness and different housing material composition.

Q: Does the narrower operating temperature range of the Assmann part affect compatibility?

A: Compatibility depends on application requirements. If your system operates within -40°C to 105°C, the Assmann part is fully compatible. Applications requiring operation outside this range must use components rated for the extended temperature specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 3M 100-016-000 packaging is not specified in available data. The Assmann AR 16-HZL/07-TT is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Why is the Assmann part rated for higher current (3 A versus 1 A)?

A: The higher current rating reflects design improvements in contact geometry and material composition. This does not affect compatibility; it indicates enhanced performance capability for applications requiring higher current handling.

Q: Is ROHS3 compliance required for my application?

A: ROHS3 compliance is mandatory for products sold in the European Union and many other markets. The Assmann part's ROHS3 compliance ensures regulatory alignment for new designs and future market access.
