Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GT10-16DP-DS(71) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the GT10 series from Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface alignment
• Connector Type and Contact Configuration: Maintenance of header type with male pin contacts
• Pitch and Position Specifications: Identical mating pitch of 0.079" (2.00mm) and 16-position configuration
• Mounting and Termination Method: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Equivalent current and voltage handling capacity
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating compatibility

The GT10-16DP-DS(70) qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters, with the distinction that it maintains active product status while the original part is obsolete.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GT10-16DP-DS(70) be used as a direct replacement for GT10-16DP-DS(71)?

A: Yes. Both parts share the GT10 series designation, identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch specifications (0.079" / 2.00mm), 16-position layout, and through-hole right-angle mounting. The substitute maintains active product status while the original is obsolete.

Q: What are the key compatibility parameters for this substitution?

A: Compatibility is determined by connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (16), mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (through-hole right-angle), and termination type (solder). Both parts satisfy these parameters.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical ratings between these parts?

A: The substitute GT10-16DP-DS(70) specifies a current rating of 3A and voltage rating of 250VAC/DC. Detailed electrical specifications for the obsolete GT10-16DP-DS(71) were not provided in the original documentation.

Q: Does the substitute have shrouding?

A: Yes. The GT10-16DP-DS(70) features 4-wall shrouding, which provides additional mechanical protection and contact isolation compared to unshrouded configurations.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute?

A: The GT10-16DP-DS(70) operates across -55°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications within this thermal envelope.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the obsolete GT10-16DP-DS(71) and the active substitute GT10-16DP-DS(70) maintain RoHS compliance status.
