Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AFD58-20-16PN is based on the following critical parameters that define functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circular connector category classification
• 16-position contact arrangement
• Shell size designation (20-16)
• Receptacle configuration with male pins
• Panel mount capability with flange mounting feature
• Crimp termination compatibility
• Bayonet lock fastening mechanism
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C)
• Current rating capacity (13A)
• RoHS compliance status (non-compliant)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Export control classification (EAR99)
• Tariff classification (HTSUS 8536.69.4020)

The substitute part PV72L20-16P is identified as an equivalent based on shared category classification and tariff coding. Both components are circular connectors with identical HTSUS and ECCN designations, indicating functional equivalence within regulatory frameworks.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AFD58-20-16PN (Original Part): The original part remains available through current inventory stock of 1087 units. This component is suitable for applications where existing design specifications and qualification documentation reference the TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors AFD series. The part maintains RoHS non-compliant status consistent with military and aerospace applications that do not require RoHS compliance.

PV72L20-16P (Substitute Part): The PV72L20-16P manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC is classified as an active product with 1074 units in stock. This substitute shares identical regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4020) and moisture sensitivity ratings with the original part. The substitute is available in bulk packaging format. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where component availability and active product status are prioritized, provided that design compatibility with ITT Cannon connector specifications is established.

Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliance and MSL ratings, ensuring consistency with military, aviation, and automotive application requirements that typically do not mandate RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether PV72L20-16P can substitute for AFD58-20-16PN?

A: Substitution is based on shared circular connector category classification, identical tariff coding (HTSUS 8536.69.4020), matching export control designation (EAR99), and equivalent moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1). Both components are non-RoHS compliant, maintaining consistency with military and aerospace application standards.

Q: Are there differences in connector specifications between these parts?

A: The provided data confirms both parts are classified as circular connectors with identical regulatory and compliance parameters.
