Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF22-1416PC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Series: Both parts must belong to the EnerBee™ DF22 series
• Contact Type: Pin configuration required
• Termination Method: Crimp termination only
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 14-16 AWG wire gauge range
• Connector Category: Rectangular connectors
• Manufacturing Process: Stamped contact construction

The DF22-1416PCA qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. The primary difference is the contact finish material: the substitute uses gold plating instead of tin, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved electrical performance in demanding environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22-1416PCA is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF22-1416PC. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical compatibility within the EnerBee™ DF22 connector system.

The DF22-1416PCA offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The gold contact finish provides superior performance characteristics compared to tin, including enhanced corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance over extended operational life.

Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. The DF22-1416PCA meets the more recent ROHS3 standard, while the original part meets RoHS Compliant specification. Both components maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF22-1416PCA be used as a direct replacement for DF22-1416PC in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pin configuration, wire gauge compatibility, and crimp termination specifications within the EnerBee™ DF22 series. The gold contact finish of the substitute provides equivalent or superior electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between tin and gold?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Gold plating provides enhanced protection against oxidation and maintains lower contact resistance over time, making it suitable for applications requiring extended service life or exposure to corrosive environments.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The DF22-1416PC packaging is not specified in available documentation. The DF22-1416PCA is supplied in bag packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness specification affect compatibility?

A: The DF22-1416PCA specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm) gold plating thickness. This specification ensures consistent electrical and corrosion resistance performance. The original DF22-1416PC does not include finish thickness documentation.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The DF22-1416PCA meets the more recent ROHS3 standard. The DF22-1416PC meets RoHS Compliant specification. Both satisfy MSL 1 requirements with unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance.
