Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the A16-LCG is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Configuration: 16 positions in 2 x 8 arrangement
• Row Spacing: 0.3" (7.62mm) center-to-center distance
• Mating Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) contact spacing
• Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Mounting Method: Through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Rating: 3 A current capacity
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C operational limits

The substitute part 110-13-316-41-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. meets all these critical parameters, establishing functional equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the A16-LCG and 110-13-316-41-001000 are active products suitable for production applications. The Mill-Max substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 rating, indicating full environmental compliance and unrestricted moisture handling. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, packaging requirements (tube packaging for the Mill-Max part), and supply chain considerations. Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements for 16-position DIP socket applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 110-13-316-41-001000 directly replace the A16-LCG in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position counts (16), row spacing (0.3"), mating pitch (0.100"), contact finish (gold), mounting method (through-hole), and current rating (3 A). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.3" row spacing specification?

A: The 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing defines the center-to-center distance between the two rows of contacts. This dimension is critical for mechanical compatibility with standard 16-pin DIP package components. Parts with different row spacing are not interchangeable.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between these parts?

A: The Mill-Max part specifies beryllium copper for mating contacts. The Assmann WSW part does not provide this detail in available documentation. Both maintain gold plating on mating surfaces and equivalent electrical performance at the 3 A rating.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for the Mill-Max part?

A: MSL 1 indicates the part has unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. This simplifies inventory management and reduces handling constraints compared to higher MSL ratings.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range, supporting standard industrial and commercial temperature environments.
