Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Keystone Electronics 3016 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Tip Plug configuration
• Gender: Male
• Plug/Mating Plug Diameter: Standard Tip
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Insulation Configuration: Non-Mating End Insulated
• Color: Black
• Contact Material: Brass with Nickel finish
• Body Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99 classification

The substitute part 105-0773-001 from Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson meets all these core parameters. The substitute offers dual termination capability (Crimp or Solder), with solder termination being compatible with the original application. The operating temperature range of the substitute (-55°C ~ 85°C) encompasses the original part's maximum rating of 100°C at the upper limit, requiring thermal verification for applications operating above 85°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 105-0773-001 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete Keystone Electronics 3016. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification, ensuring regulatory continuity. The substitute part is currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability (5170 pieces), providing supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original.

The primary consideration for selection is the operating temperature specification. The original part is rated to 100°C, while the substitute is rated to 85°C maximum. Applications operating within the 85°C limit present no thermal constraints. Applications requiring operation above 85°C require thermal analysis to determine if the substitute's rating is adequate for the specific use case.

The substitute's dual termination capability (Crimp or Solder) provides design flexibility. When solder termination is selected, the electrical and mechanical interface is functionally equivalent to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch 105-0773-001 directly replace the Keystone 3016 in all applications?

A: The substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at or below 85°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 85°C require thermal verification before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the dual termination option (Crimp or Solder) on the substitute part?

A: The substitute supports both crimp and solder termination methods. For direct replacement of the solder-terminated original part, specify solder termination during procurement. This does not affect compatibility with the original design.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 classification, and share identical HTSUS coding. No compliance gaps exist for regulatory purposes.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence classification indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Keystone Electronics. The manufacturer-recommended substitute ensures continued availability and design support.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The Cinch 105-0773-001 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly environments.
