Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C9116-00 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Configuration: 16 positions in 2 x 8 arrangement
Row Spacing: 0.3" (7.62mm)
Mating Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Mounting Method: Through Hole
Termination Type: Wire Wrap
Contact Finish - Mating: Gold plating
Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part AR 16-HZW/TN from Assmann WSW Components satisfies these core substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical position counts, row spacing, mating pitch, mounting type, and termination method. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing improved procurement availability compared to the obsolete C9116-00.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AR 16-HZW/TN qualifies as a functional equivalent to the C9116-00 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications for the core socket interface. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

The AR 16-HZW/TN is currently in active production status, whereas the C9116-00 is obsolete. This status difference provides significant procurement advantage for new designs or ongoing production requirements.

The AR 16-HZW/TN demonstrates higher current rating capability (3 A versus 1.5 A) and contact resistance specification (4 mOhm), indicating enhanced electrical performance characteristics. The operating temperature range of the C9116-00 (-55°C ~ 125°C) extends beyond that of the AR 16-HZW/TN (-40°C ~ 105°C); applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C must account for this specification difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes AR 16-HZW/TN a suitable substitute for C9116-00?

A: Both parts share identical position counts (16), row spacing (0.3"), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (wire wrap). Both maintain gold-plated mating contacts and ROHS3 compliance. The AR 16-HZW/TN is actively manufactured, addressing the obsolescence of the C9116-00.

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

A: Yes. The C9116-00 uses phosphor bronze for both mating and post contacts, while the AR 16-HZW/TN uses beryllium copper for both contact types. Both materials are suitable for wire wrap termination and gold-plated mating surfaces.

Q: What is the difference in post contact finish?

A: The C9116-00 features gold-plated posts, while the AR 16-HZW/TN features tin-plated posts. Both finishes are compatible with wire wrap termination methods.

Q: Does the operating temperature range difference affect substitution?

A: The C9116-00 operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the AR 16-HZW/TN operates from -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C must evaluate whether the AR 16-HZW/TN meets specific thermal requirements.

Q: What packaging is provided for the AR 16-HZW/TN?

A: The AR 16-HZW/TN is supplied in tube packaging, compared to the C9116-00 which has no specified packaging designation.

Q: Can the higher current rating of AR 16-HZW/TN create compatibility issues?

A: No. The AR 16-HZW/TN current rating of 3 A exceeds the C9116-00 rating of 1.5 A. Higher current capability does not create incompatibility; it provides additional performance margin for applications within the C9116-00 original specification.
