Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MA2RAP1601 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the M23-16 circular connector family. The substitute part MA5RAP1601 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 16-position configuration, M23-16 shell size, 1.0mm crimp contact size, panel mount right-angle orientation, push-twist fastening, zinc die-cast nickel-finished housing, IP67 ingress protection rating, and -20°C to 130°C operating temperature range. Both parts are shielded receptacle housings with rotatable backshells and polyamide insert material. The primary distinction is product status: MA2RAP1601 is obsolete while MA5RAP1601 is active, making the latter the direct functional equivalent for ongoing procurement and design applications.
