Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MA1RAP1601 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle Housing
• Number of Positions: 16
• Shell Size - Insert: M23-16
• Contact Type: Crimp
• Contact Size: 1.0mm
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Right Angle
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Shell Material: Zinc Die Cast
• Shell Finish: Nickel
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 130°C
• Shielding: Shielded
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The MA7RAP1601 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all mandatory parameters while offering an active product status and enhanced feature set through the inclusion of a backshell component. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and belong to the M23 circular connector family with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For MA1RAP1601 Replacement:

The MA7RAP1601 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MA1RAP1601. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, contact configuration, mounting orientation, and environmental ratings.

Product Status Consideration:

The MA1RAP1601 carries obsolete status, which indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited long-term availability. The MA7RAP1601 maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support, documented supply chain availability, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Compliance and Certification:

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both achieve UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and IP67 ingress protection. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at MSL 1 (unlimited), indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Functional Differentiation:

The MA7RAP1601 includes an integrated backshell feature in addition to the rotatable configuration present in the MA1RAP1601. This enhancement provides additional cable strain relief and environmental sealing without altering the core connector interface or electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MA7RAP1601 directly replace MA1RAP1601 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MA7RAP1601 maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. The connector interface, pin configuration, mounting footprint, and environmental ratings are identical. The addition of a backshell feature in the MA7RAP1601 provides enhanced cable management without affecting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the backshell feature in MA7RAP1601?

A: The backshell is an integrated component that provides additional strain relief for connected cables and enhances environmental sealing. This feature does not alter the connector's electrical performance or mechanical interface compatibility with the MA1RAP1601.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MA1RAP1601 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The MA7RAP1601 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications before finalizing the substitution.

Q: Do both parts require separate contact procurement?

A: Yes. Both the MA1RAP1601 and MA7RAP1601 are supplied as housing assemblies without contacts included. Crimp contacts with 1.0mm size must be procured separately for both parts.

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

A: Both the MA1RAP1601 and MA7RAP1601 operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 130°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for IP67-rated applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors achieve IP67 ingress protection rating, indicating dust-tight and waterproof performance. This rating applies to both the standard MA1RAP1601 and the backshell-equipped MA7RAP1601.

Q: What is the difference between the MotionGrade™ M23 Signal Standard Series and MotionGrade™ Elite M23 Signal Series?

A: The MA1RAP1601 belongs to the standard series, while the MA7RAP1601 belongs to the elite series. Both series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the M23-16 connector configuration. The elite designation reflects the enhanced feature set and active product status of the MA7RAP1601.
