Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 716-15/09 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector style and gender (IEC 320-2-2/F receptacle configuration)
• Position count (3-position)
• Mounting methodology (panel mount, snap-in)
• Termination type (solder-based)
• Filter classification (unfiltered commercial)
• Regulatory compliance (CSA, UL certifications)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3)

The Qualtek 716W-X2/01 satisfies all substitution criteria as an active product within the same series family, maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility while offering expanded panel thickness tolerance and enhanced certification coverage.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 716W-X2/01 is the designated active equivalent for the obsolete 716-15/09. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Identical IEC 320-2-2/F connector configuration and 3-position architecture
• Maintained panel mount snap-in methodology
• Equivalent unfiltered commercial filtering classification
• Full regulatory compliance with CSA, TUV, and UL certifications
• ROHS3 compliance alignment
• Expanded panel thickness tolerance (0.031" to 0.059") accommodating the original 0.059" specification
• Solder eyelet termination providing enhanced mechanical robustness compared to standard solder termination

The 716W-X2/01 is currently in active production with 1524 units in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity for applications previously utilizing the 716-15/09.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 716W-X2/01 directly replace the 716-15/09 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical IEC 320-2-2/F configuration, 3-position architecture, panel mount snap-in mounting, and unfiltered commercial filtering. Panel cutout dimensions differ slightly (32.26mm x 24.77mm versus 32.60mm x 25.30mm), requiring verification that existing panel cutouts accommodate the substitute's dimensions or that panel modifications are acceptable.

Q: What is the difference between solder and solder eyelet termination?

A: The 716-15/09 uses standard solder termination, while the 716W-X2/01 uses solder eyelet termination. Solder eyelet termination provides a pre-formed eyelet for wire attachment, offering improved mechanical stability and consistent solder joint geometry compared to direct solder termination.

Q: Does the 716W-X2/01 support the same panel thickness as the original part?

A: The 716W-X2/01 supports panel thickness from 0.031" to 0.059" (0.79mm to 1.50mm), which encompasses the original 0.059" (1.50mm) specification. Applications using thinner panels benefit from the expanded tolerance range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 716-15/09 and 716W-X2/01 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What certifications does the substitute carry?

A: The 716W-X2/01 carries CSA, TUV, and UL certifications, providing broader regulatory coverage than the original 716-15/09 (CSA, UL).
