C8116-04 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The C8116-04 is a 16-position DIP socket manufactured by Aries Electronics, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This component features a 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts and wire wrap termination. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C8116-04 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 16 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing are mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Type: Through-hole mounting is required for PCB integration
• Termination Style: Wire wrap termination is required for connection methodology
• Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must support the application's thermal requirements
• Current Rating: The substitute must meet or exceed the circuit's current demands
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating ensure regulatory and safety alignment

The AR 16-HZW/TN from Assmann WSW Components meets these core substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance through beryllium copper contacts and gold mating finish.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AR 16-HZW/TN is a direct functional substitute for the C8116-04. Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility through matching position counts, pitch specifications, and row spacing. Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability certification and ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements.

The AR 16-HZW/TN offers operational advantages: beryllium copper contacts provide superior contact resistance performance (4mOhm specified), gold mating finish enhances corrosion resistance compared to tin, and the 3 A current rating provides increased capacity over the 1.5 A rating of the C8116-04. The AR 16-HZW/TN maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The operating temperature range of the AR 16-HZW/TN (-40°C ~ 105°C) is narrower at the lower bound compared to the C8116-04 (-55°C ~ 105°C). Applications requiring operation below -40°C must evaluate this specification against system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AR 16-HZW/TN replace the C8116-04 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical specifications: 16 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing, through-hole mounting, and wire wrap termination. PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What are the key differences between these two sockets?

A: The primary differences are contact material (phosphor bronze vs. beryllium copper), mating finish (tin vs. gold), current rating (1.5 A vs. 3 A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C vs. -40°C to 105°C). The AR 16-HZW/TN provides enhanced electrical performance and active product availability.

Q: Does the lower operating temperature limit of the AR 16-HZW/TN affect compatibility?

A: Only if the application requires operation below -40°C. For standard industrial and commercial temperature ranges, this specification does not present a limitation.

Q: Are both components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the C8116-04 and AR 16-HZW/TN are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: Why is the C8116-04 obsolete?

A: The C8116-04 is listed as obsolete by Aries Electronics. The AR 16-HZW/TN from Assmann WSW Components is an active product with ongoing manufacturing and supply availability.
