Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AFD54-20-16PN Status: The AFD54-20-16PN is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While 1044 pieces remain in current inventory, long-term procurement of this component is not available through standard distribution channels. Applications currently utilizing this part number require identification of active substitute components.

PV74W20-16PL Recommendation: PV74W20-16PL is the primary substitute for the AFD54-20-16PN. This ITT Cannon component is active in production and maintains full parameter alignment across all specified mechanical, electrical, and environmental criteria. The part shares identical shell size (20-16), mounting configuration (panel mount bulkhead with front side nut), fastening type (bayonet lock), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 200°C), and termination method (crimp). Current inventory of 1143 pieces supports immediate procurement. Both components are RoHS non-compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

PV74W20-16P Consideration: PV74W20-16P is listed as an active substitute; however, critical parameters including number of positions, shell size, mounting type, and termination method are not specified in available documentation. This part should be cross-referenced against detailed manufacturer specifications before selection.

Compliance Alignment: All components in this substitution group maintain identical RoHS non-compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.69.4020 for AFD54-20-16PN and PV74W20-16P; 8538.90.8180 for PV74W20-16PL). Moisture sensitivity level is uniform across all parts (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PV74W20-16PL directly replace AFD54-20-16PN in existing applications?

A: PV74W20-16PL is mechanically and electrically compatible with AFD54-20-16PN based on provided specifications. Both components share identical shell size (20-16), mounting configuration (panel mount bulkhead), fastening type (bayonet lock), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 200°C), and crimp termination. Physical installation and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between PV74W20-16P and PV74W20-16PL?

A: PV74W20-16PL is specified as a receptacle housing for male pins with 16 positions and includes complete mechanical specifications. PV74W20-16P is listed with incomplete parameter documentation. PV74W20-16PL provides full specification alignment with the AFD54-20-16PN.

Q: Are there any material differences between the AFD54-20-16PN and PV74W20-16PL?

A: The AFD54-20-16PN features an aluminum shell with nickel finish and gold contact finish. The PV74W20-16PL features an aluminum alloy shell with chromate over cadmium finish and olive drab housing color. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 200°C) and environment-resistant applications.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: AFD54-20-16PN is discontinued at DiGi Electronics with 1044 pieces in current inventory. PV74W20-16PL is active in production with 1143 pieces available. PV74W20-16P is active with 1111 pieces available.

Q: Do all substitute parts share the same RoHS compliance status?

A: All components in this substitution group are RoHS non-compliant. Compliance status is uniform across AFD54-20-16PN, PV74W20-16P, and PV74W20-16PL.

Q: What termination method is used for these connectors?

A: All components utilize crimp termination. This method requires appropriate crimp tooling and contact specifications for proper assembly.

Q: Are contacts included with the PV74W20-16PL?

A: PV74W20-16PL is specified as a receptacle housing with contacts not included. Contacts must be procured separately and must be compatible with 16-position crimp termination specifications.
