Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 24-516-10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position count: 24 (2 x 12) configuration
• Socket type: DIP ZIF (ZIP) architecture
• Pitch specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) for both mating and post
• Contact material: Beryllium copper for both mating and post contacts
• Mounting method: Through-hole solder termination
• Housing material: Polyamide (PA46) glass-filled construction
• Termination post length: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Current rating: 1 A minimum
• Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0

The primary variable distinguishing substitute parts within this category is the contact finish specification (tin versus gold plating). Both finishes maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility when applied to beryllium copper contacts with identical dimensional and material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 24-516-10 is classified as obsolete, necessitating transition to an active equivalent for new designs and ongoing production support. The Aries Electronics 24-516-11 serves as the direct substitute, maintaining identical mechanical, electrical, and dimensional specifications while offering the advantage of active product status.

The primary distinction between these parts is the contact finish: the 24-516-10 features tin plating, while the 24-516-11 features gold plating. Both finishes are applied to identical beryllium copper contact materials at the same thickness specification (10.0µin / 0.25µm). This substitution is valid for applications where contact finish compatibility with mating components is confirmed.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications. The 24-516-11 is currently in active production with documented inventory availability, supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 24-516-11 directly replace the 24-516-10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 24-516-11 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the 24-516-10. Both parts share identical position count (24), pitch specifications (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact material (beryllium copper), mounting type (through-hole), and current rating (1 A). The only difference is contact finish (gold versus tin).

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between these parts?

A: Contact finish affects surface conductivity and corrosion resistance. Tin finish (24-516-10) and gold finish (24-516-11) are both applied to the same beryllium copper base material at identical thickness. Selection depends on the mating component specifications and environmental requirements of the application.

Q: Why is the 24-516-10 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 24-516-11 remains in active production and serves as the current equivalent for this socket type.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the 24-516-10 and 24-516-11?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory requirements are met by both variants.

Q: What is the base product number for this socket series?

A: The base product number is 24-516, with variants distinguished by contact finish specification (10 for tin, 11 for gold).
