Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GT16-1P-H(P) is determined by the following criteria:

• Identical connector category: Coaxial Connectors (RF)
• Matching form factor: Pin header PCB right-angle configuration
• Equivalent RoHS compliance status
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classification
• Same base product family (GT16 series)

The GT16-1P-H(P)(55) meets all substitution criteria as an active equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active, with improved moisture sensitivity level specification (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GT16-1P-H(P)(55) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete GT16-1P-H(P). Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance and export classification (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4010), ensuring regulatory and trade compliance equivalence.

The substitute part carries active product status with defined moisture sensitivity specification (MSL 1), providing superior supply chain stability and documented environmental handling requirements. Selection of the active equivalent is appropriate for new designs and production continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are GT16-1P-H(P) and GT16-1P-H(P)(55) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Both parts share identical form factor specifications as pin header PCB right-angle coaxial connectors within the GT16 series, maintaining mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the MSL specification difference affect substitution?

A: The original part lists MSL as Not Applicable, while the substitute specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited). This represents clarified environmental handling documentation for the active part and does not restrict substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both GT16-1P-H(P) and GT16-1P-H(P)(55) are RoHS compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The GT16-1P-H(P)(55) represents the active continuation within the same product family.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: GT16-1P-H(P) has 674 pieces in stock (obsolete status). GT16-1P-H(P)(55) has 1025 pieces in stock (active status).
