Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF22A-1416SC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series compatibility: EnerBee™ DF22
• Contact configuration: Socket type
• Termination method: Crimp
• Wire gauge range: 14-16 AWG
• Connector type: Stamped construction
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status

The DF22A-1416SCA qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all functional and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is the contact finish material (Gold versus Tin) and product status transition from obsolete to active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22A-1416SCA is the designated substitute for the obsolete DF22A-1416SC. Selection is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance exceeding the RoHS compliance of the original part

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF22A-1416SCA be used as a direct replacement for DF22A-1416SC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge (14-16 AWG), termination method (crimp), contact type (socket), and series designation (EnerBee™ DF22). The substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

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

A: Contact finish is specified in the provided parameters. Tin finish is present on the original part; gold finish is present on the substitute. Selection between these finishes depends on application-specific requirements not addressed in this reference.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The DF22A-1416SC packaging is not specified in the provided data. The DF22A-1416SCA is supplied in bag packaging.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: Product status is provided as obsolete. The DF22A-1416SCA represents the active equivalent within the EnerBee™ DF22 series.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: The DF22A-1416SC is RoHS Compliant. The DF22A-1416SCA is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more current regulatory standard.
