Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the EnerBee™ DF22 series to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Contact Type: Socket configuration must be maintained
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG specification must be preserved
• Termination Method: Crimp termination is required
• Base Product Number: DF22A designation ensures connector family compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status must be maintained or upgraded

The substitute part DF22A-1416SCFA meets all these criteria while offering an upgraded contact finish material (gold instead of tin), which provides enhanced corrosion resistance and electrical performance characteristics within the same mechanical envelope and functional specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22A-1416SCFA is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF22A-1416SCF. Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility and electrical specifications within the EnerBee™ DF22 connector family. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

The transition from tin to gold contact finish in the substitute part represents an upgrade in material specification. Both finishes are compatible with the same crimp termination process and wire gauge range. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the original part, ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF22A-1416SCF and DF22A-1416SCFA mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share the same base product number (DF22A), series designation (EnerBee™ DF22), socket configuration, wire gauge (14-16 AWG), and crimp termination method. They are designed for direct substitution within the same connector assembly.

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

A: The contact finish material affects corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance compared to tin. Both finishes are compatible with the specified 14-16 AWG crimp termination process.

Q: Is the DF22A-1416SCFA available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the original part and substitute are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, maintaining consistency with existing procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the regulatory compliance status of the substitute part?

A: The DF22A-1416SCFA carries ROHS3 compliance, which represents current regulatory alignment. The original part's RoHS compliance is superseded by this upgraded certification level.

Q: Can I use DF22A-1416SCFA as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the 14-16 AWG wire gauge range and crimp termination method. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for both parts?

A: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
