Engineering Selection Recommendations
The 3-647016-8 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 647016-8. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:
For RoHS-compliant applications: The 3-647016-8 is the appropriate selection, as it meets RoHS compliance standards and maintains REACH unaffected status. This part is actively manufactured and available in bulk packaging.
For legacy systems or non-regulated applications: The 647016-8 remains functionally equivalent but carries obsolete status and RoHS non-compliant classification. This part should be reserved for maintenance of existing systems where compliance exemptions apply.
Both parts share identical electrical performance, mechanical dimensions, and contact specifications. The transition from 647016-8 to 3-647016-8 represents a manufacturing update incorporating regulatory compliance without altering form, fit, or function.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are the 647016-8 and 3-647016-8 mechanically interchangeable?
