Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Base product number (DF22)
• Pin or socket configuration (Pin)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Wire gauge range (14-16 AWG)
• Connector type (Stamped rectangular connector)
• Series compatibility (EnerBee™ DF22)

The DF22-1416PCFA qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary distinction is the contact finish material, which changes from tin to gold with an increased contact finish thickness of 8.00µin (0.203µm). This upgrade in contact finish does not compromise compatibility and provides enhanced corrosion resistance and conductivity characteristics within the same connector footprint and termination specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22-1416PCFA is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF22-1416PCF. Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility, electrical specifications, and regulatory compliance status. The DF22-1416PCFA is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, whereas the DF22-1416PCF is obsolete with limited stock.

Selection of the DF22-1416PCFA is supported by:

• Identical base product architecture and connector series designation
• Matching wire gauge and crimp termination specifications
• Equivalent RoHS compliance and MSL rating
• Active product status ensuring long-term supply chain continuity
• Gold contact finish providing enhanced performance characteristics over tin

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF22-1416PCFA be used as a direct replacement for the DF22-1416PCF in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pin configurations, and crimp termination specifications. The gold contact finish of the DF22-1416PCFA is compatible with existing connector housings and mating interfaces designed for the DF22-1416PCF.

Q: What is the difference between the tin and gold contact finishes?

A: The DF22-1416PCF features a tin contact finish, while the DF22-1416PCFA features a gold contact finish with 8.00µin (0.203µm) thickness. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity compared to tin.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the DF22-1416PCF and DF22-1416PCFA are RoHS compliant and carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Why is the DF22-1416PCF classified as obsolete?

A: The DF22-1416PCF has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The DF22-1416PCFA represents the active production equivalent within the EnerBee™ DF22 series.

Q: What packaging is available for the DF22-1416PCFA?

A: The DF22-1416PCFA is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format.
