Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

Amphenol ICC 55510-116LF and 55510-116TRLF are direct functional equivalents. Both maintain identical pitch, position count, and row configuration. The 55510-116TRLF variant in Tape & Reel packaging offers higher inventory availability (4839 units) and is suitable for automated assembly processes. Both parts exceed the original voltage and current specifications, providing design margin. Operating temperature range extends to 125°C, exceeding the original specification.

Secondary Substitutes (Acceptable with Design Verification):

Hirose A3-16DA-2SV(71) and A3A-16DA-2SV(71) maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility. The A3A variant includes board guide features matching the original design. Operating temperature range is limited to 85°C maximum, which is below the original specification. These parts are suitable for applications operating within -55°C to 85°C range. ROHS3 compliance status is confirmed.

Tertiary Substitutes (Functional Equivalence with Connector Type Variation):

Sullins NPPN082FFKS-RC is classified as a Header connector rather than Receptacle. This part maintains identical pitch and position configuration but represents a different connector family. Substitution requires mechanical compatibility verification with mating connector design. Current rating of 2A exceeds original specification.

Samtec TLE-108 series (TLE-108-01-G-DV-A, TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-K-TR, TLE-108-01-G-DV-K) are Pass Through receptacles with enhanced current handling (3.2A per contact). These parts maintain all critical dimensional and electrical parameters. Operating temperature extends to 125°C. The TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-K-TR variant in Tape & Reel format supports automated assembly with highest inventory availability (3212 units).

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance status. Amphenol ICC 55510-116TRLF and Samtec TLE-108 series show REACH Affected status, requiring verification against specific application requirements. All parts carry UL94 V-0 or equivalent flammability ratings where specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 3M 150216-2020-RB with any of these parts without design changes?

A: Amphenol ICC 55510-116LF and 55510-116TRLF are direct substitutes requiring no design changes. Hirose A3 series parts are mechanically compatible but have a reduced maximum operating temperature of 85°C. Samtec TLE-108 series and Sullins NPPN082FFKS-RC require mechanical compatibility verification with your mating connector design.

Q: What is the difference between Tube and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tube packaging is suitable for manual assembly and lower-volume applications. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and offers higher inventory availability for most substitute options. Functional performance is identical between packaging formats.

Q: Are the Hirose A3 series parts suitable for my application if it operates at 110°C?

A: No. The Hirose A3-16DA-2SV(71) and A3A-16DA-2SV(71) have a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, select Amphenol ICC 55510 series or Samtec TLE-108 series, which are rated to 125°C.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec TLE-108-01-G-DV-A and TLE-108-01-G-DV-K variants?

A: Both variants are Pass Through receptacles with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging: TLE-108-01-G-DV-A is supplied in Tube format, while TLE-108-01-G-DV-K includes Pick and Place features. The TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-K-TR variant combines both features with Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: Why is the Sullins NPPN082FFKS-RC listed as a Header rather than Receptacle?

A: The Sullins part is classified as a Header connector, which is a different connector family than the Receptacle type. While it maintains identical pitch and position configuration, it may have different mating interface characteristics. Verify mechanical compatibility with your mating connector before substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the original 500VDC voltage specification?

A: No. Amphenol ICC 55510 series is rated to 200V, and Hirose A3 series is rated to 200VAC. Samtec TLE-108 series and Sullins NPPN082FFKS-RC do not specify voltage ratings. For applications requiring 500VDC operation, verify that the selected substitute meets your voltage requirements or consult the manufacturer.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: Amphenol ICC 55510-116TRLF offers the highest inventory with 4839 units in stock. Samtec TLE-108-01-G-DV-A-K-TR is the second option with 3212 units. Both are suitable for high-volume production requirements.
