JR16WP-3SC(71) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JR16WP-3SC(71) is a 3-position circular connector plug housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications with female socket compatibility. This connector features a threaded coupling nut, backshell, aluminum alloy shell with chrome finish, and IP67/IP68 ingress protection rating. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and component sourcing where original inventory is depleted.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The C091 11D003 000 2 manufactured by Amphenol Tuchel Industrial qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug housing for female sockets
• Number of positions: 3
• Contact type: Crimp
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Orientation: Keyed
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Ingress protection: IP65/IP67/IP69K (exceeds minimum IP67/IP68 requirement)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 100°C (encompasses -25°C ~ 85°C)

Allowable Variations:

• Shell size designation differs (M16-3 vs. 16) but represents equivalent mechanical interface
• Contact size: 1.5mm vs. 1.6mm (minor variation within acceptable tolerance for this connector class)
• Shell material: Die cast vs. aluminum alloy (functionally equivalent for mechanical and environmental performance)
• Shell finish: Nickel vs. chrome (both provide corrosion resistance)
• Housing color: Silver vs. black (cosmetic difference, no functional impact)
• Additional features: Cable clamp included in substitute (additive feature, does not prevent compatibility)
• Shielding: Substitute is shielded vs. unshielded main part (enhanced EMI protection, backward compatible)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C091 11D003 000 2 is a direct functional substitute for the JR16WP-3SC(71). The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for connector compatibility while offering enhanced environmental protection (IP69K capability) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C vs. -25°C to 85°C). The substitute is classified as active product status with RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance. The minor contact size variation (1.5mm vs. 1.6mm) and shell material difference (die cast vs. aluminum alloy) remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for this connector class and do not compromise functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the C091 11D003 000 2 be used as a direct replacement for the JR16WP-3SC(71)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, position count, contact type, mounting configuration, fastening method, and orientation. The substitute meets or exceeds all environmental and thermal specifications of the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the contact size difference (1.5mm vs. 1.6mm)?

A: Contact size variation of 0.1mm falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for this connector class. Both sizes are compatible with standard crimp tooling and mating interfaces for 3-position circular connectors in this shell size category.

Q: Does the shielding difference affect compatibility?

A: The substitute includes shielding while the original is unshielded. Shielding provides enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and is functionally backward compatible. No compatibility issues arise from this enhancement.

Q: Why is the substitute part listed as active while the original is obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturing discontinuation by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. The Amphenol Tuchel Industrial substitute remains in active production, ensuring continued availability for system maintenance and new installations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part is listed with unspecified packaging, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The C091 11D003 000 2 carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component distribution and use.
