Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF22A-1416PC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the EnerBee™ DF22 series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility within the connector system.
• Contact Configuration: Pin contact type must be maintained for proper mating with corresponding socket contacts.
• Wire Gauge Specification: 14-16 AWG wire gauge range must be preserved to ensure proper crimp contact engagement and electrical performance.
• Termination Method: Crimp termination type must remain consistent for assembly compatibility.
• Contact Finish Material: While the primary part uses tin finish, alternative finishes within the same series may provide equivalent electrical performance with enhanced durability characteristics.
• Manufacturing Type: Stamped construction type ensures consistent mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances.

The DF22A-1416PCA qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters while offering an upgraded contact finish specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22A-1416PCA is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF22A-1416PC. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including series designation, contact configuration, wire gauge rating, and termination method.

The primary distinction between these components is the contact finish material: the substitute part features gold plating instead of tin. Both finishes comply with RoHS requirements and maintain equivalent MSL ratings. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Selection of the DF22A-1416PCA is appropriate for applications requiring direct replacement of the DF22A-1416PC, with the added benefit of extended product lifecycle support from the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF22A-1416PCA be used as a direct replacement for the DF22A-1416PC?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: series, pin configuration, wire gauge, termination method, and manufacturing type. The DF22A-1416PCA is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

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

A: The DF22A-1416PC uses tin contact finish, while the DF22A-1416PCA uses gold contact finish. Both finishes are RoHS compliant and suitable for the specified 14-16 AWG wire gauge applications. The contact finish material does not affect mechanical compatibility or crimp engagement characteristics.

Q: Why is the DF22A-1416PC classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The DF22A-1416PCA remains in active production and serves as the current equivalent component for this application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The DF22A-1416PC packaging specification is not provided. The DF22A-1416PCA is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Do both components meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the DF22A-1416PC and DF22A-1416PCA are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
