Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KPT08F20-16S is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Plug configuration with 16 female sockets
• Shell Size - Insert: 20-16 specification for mechanical compatibility
• Fastening Type: Bayonet lock mechanism
• Mounting Type: Free hanging (in-line) and right angle configurations
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 13A and voltage rating compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Termination Method: Solder-based connection (solder cup or solder termination)
• Ingress Protection: Environment resistant classification

The MSW08E20-16S-SR manufactured by Milspecwest, LLC meets these substitution criteria across all specified parameters, establishing it as an equivalent alternative for the KPT08F20-16S in applications where these electrical and mechanical requirements are maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the KPT08F20-16S and MSW08E20-16S-SR maintain active product status and share identical RoHS non-compliance classification. Selection between these parts should be based on application voltage requirements and inventory availability. The KPT08F20-16S provides higher voltage rating specifications (1000VAC, 1400VDC) compared to the MSW08E20-16S-SR (800V), making it suitable for applications requiring maximum voltage headroom. The MSW08E20-16S-SR remains functionally equivalent for applications operating within its 800V specification. Current inventory levels show 745 units of the KPT08F20-16S and 1134 units of the MSW08E20-16S-SR available, supporting component selection based on delivery and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if MSW08E20-16S-SR can replace KPT08F20-16S?

A: Substitution is valid when the application operates within the MSW08E20-16S-SR voltage specification of 800V. All other critical parameters—connector type, position count, shell size, fastening mechanism, mounting configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range—are equivalent between the two parts.

Q: Are there differences in termination between these connectors?

A: The KPT08F20-16S features solder cup termination, while the MSW08E20-16S-SR uses solder termination. Both are solder-based connection methods compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the voltage limitation when using MSW08E20-16S-SR?

A: The MSW08E20-16S-SR is rated for 800V maximum, which is lower than the KPT08F20-16S rating of 1000VAC/1400VDC. Applications requiring voltage ratings above 800V must use the KPT08F20-16S.

Q: Do both connectors support the same mounting configurations?

A: Yes. Both the KPT08F20-16S and MSW08E20-16S-SR support free hanging (in-line) and right angle mounting types with identical bayonet lock fastening.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both connectors operate across -55°C to 125°C, providing identical thermal performance specifications.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for component selection?

A: The KPT08F20-16S is supplied in bulk packaging, while the MSW08E20-16S-SR is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and should be selected based on inventory management and assembly process requirements.
