Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 3
• Shell Size - Insert: 16-10
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Termination: Crimp
• Orientation: N (Normal)
• Primary Material: Metal
• Shielding: Unshielded
• MIL-DTL-5015 Qualification

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Fastening Type: Reverse Bayonet Lock or Threaded
• Shell Material: Aluminum Alloy, Zinc Die Cast, or Aluminum
• Shell Finish: Nickel or Olive Drab Cadmium
• Contact Finish - Mating: Silver or Gold
• Current Rating: 41A or 23A (application-dependent)
• Voltage Rating: 50V or unspecified
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C or -55°C ~ 175°C
• Ingress Protection: IP67 or Fluid Resistant
• RoHS Status: Compliant or Non-compliant (application-dependent)

The MS3452W16-10P qualifies as a substitute based on matching core connector architecture, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, and MIL-DTL-5015 qualification. Variations in fastening type, contact finish, current rating, and operating temperature range reflect design alternatives within the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring RoHS compliance
• Systems operating at or below 125°C
• Circuits requiring 41A current capacity
• Installations where nickel shell finish is specified
• Applications requiring IP67 ingress protection rating
• Systems utilizing reverse bayonet lock fastening

MS3452W16-10P Selection Criteria:

• Military-grade applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable
• Systems operating up to 175°C ambient temperature
• Circuits with maximum 23A current requirements
• Applications specifying olive drab cadmium finish
• Installations where threaded fastening is preferred
• Systems where gold contact finish is required for enhanced corrosion resistance

Compliance Considerations: The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS directives. The MS3452W16-10P is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, requiring evaluation against specific regulatory requirements of the end application.

Current Rating Consideration: The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 supports 41A, while the MS3452W16-10P supports 23A. Circuit design must account for this difference when selecting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MS3452W16-10P directly replace CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application tolerates the following differences: threaded fastening instead of reverse bayonet lock, 23A current capacity instead of 41A, olive drab cadmium finish instead of nickel, gold contact finish instead of silver, and RoHS non-compliance. The substitute part supports higher operating temperatures (-55°C ~ 175°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the primary difference in fastening mechanism between these parts?

A: The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 uses reverse bayonet lock fastening, while the MS3452W16-10P uses threaded fastening. These are mechanically distinct connection methods and are not interchangeable without mating connector modification.

Q: Are both parts MIL-DTL-5015 qualified?

A: Yes, both the CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 and MS3452W16-10P are qualified to MIL-DTL-5015 specification. This qualification ensures compatibility with military-grade circular connector standards.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference?

A: The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 features silver contact finish, while the MS3452W16-10P features gold contact finish. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and is preferred in high-reliability applications. Silver is suitable for standard industrial and military applications.

Q: How does the current rating difference affect part selection?

A: The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 is rated for 41A, while the MS3452W16-10P is rated for 23A. Applications requiring current transmission above 23A must use the CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01. Applications with maximum current requirements below 23A can use either part.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for these parts?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the part contains no restricted hazardous substances as defined by the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 is RoHS compliant; the MS3452W16-10P is not. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature environments?

A: No. The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the MS3452W16-10P operates from -55°C to 175°C. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must use the MS3452W16-10P.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings?

A: The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 provides IP67 protection (dust tight and waterproof), while the MS3452W16-10P provides fluid resistance. IP67 is a more stringent specification suitable for submersion and high-pressure wash environments.

Q: Are both parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: The CA02COM-E16-10P-B-01 has 1084 units in stock (bag packaging), while the MS3452W16-10P has 950 units in stock (bulk packaging). Packaging format differs between suppliers.
