Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector socket contacts is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Socket contact type (Pin or Socket designation)
• Crimp termination method
• Gold contact finish with matching plating thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• RoHS compliance status
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Active product status

Secondary Consideration:

• Wire gauge range overlap or compatibility within the application's conductor specifications

The substitute part Molex 0016020083 shares the socket contact configuration, crimp termination, gold finish specification, and environmental compliance ratings. Wire gauge range differs (24-30 AWG versus 27-32 AWG), representing a partial overlap in the 27-30 AWG range. This overlap permits substitution in applications where conductor sizes fall within the common range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 102316-8 Selection Basis:

• Primary choice for AMPMODU Mod IV series applications
• RoHS Compliant certification
• Wire gauge specification of 27-32 AWG for fine-gauge conductor applications
• Bulk packaging suitable for high-volume assembly operations
• Active product status with established supply chain

Molex 0016020083 Selection Basis:

• Alternative for SL 70058 series connector systems
• ROHS3 Compliant certification (meets current RoHS requirements)
• Wire gauge specification of 24-30 AWG accommodates mid-range conductor sizes
• Cut Tape packaging suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Active product status with established supply chain
• Substitution applicable only when wire gauge requirements fall within the 27-30 AWG overlap range

Both parts maintain identical contact finish specifications (30.0µin gold plating) and MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent performance in moisture-sensitive environments. Selection between these parts depends on series compatibility, packaging requirements, and specific wire gauge specifications of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0016020083 replace TE Connectivity 102316-8 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application's wire gauge requirements fall within the 27-30 AWG overlap range. Applications requiring 31-32 AWG conductors must use the TE Connectivity 102316-8, as the Molex part does not support these gauges.

Q: Are the gold plating specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical and corrosion resistance performance.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: TE Connectivity 102316-8 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while Molex 0016020083 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Bulk packaging is typically used for manual assembly or high-volume operations with custom tape requirements. Cut Tape packaging is optimized for automated assembly equipment.

Q: Do both parts meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. TE Connectivity 102316-8 is RoHS Compliant, and Molex 0016020083 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable within the same connector housing?

A: Socket contact interchangeability depends on the connector housing design and series specification. TE Connectivity 102316-8 is designed for AMPMODU Mod IV series housings, while Molex 0016020083 is designed for SL 70058 series housings. Verify housing compatibility before substitution.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for storage and handling?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard storage conditions without specialized desiccant packaging or controlled humidity environments are acceptable.
