MS3112E20-16P Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MS3112E20-16P from ITT Cannon, LLC is a circular connector receptacle featuring 16 positions, male pins, and solder cup termination, designed for panel mount applications with a bayonet lock fastening system. It features an aluminum alloy shell with olive drab cadmium finish and gold-plated contacts. The product is environment-resistant but RoHS non-compliant, and capable of handling 13A at up to 1000VAC/1400VDC, with an operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C. It is currently active in bulk packaging with 1169 units in inventory.

When alternative models are necessary, it is typically due to requirements for compatible form factor, contact configuration, electrical ratings, or product availability. Identifying substitutes requires precise matching of critical parameters to maintain system integrity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for circular connector receptacles in this category is strictly determined by the following key parameters: number of positions, connector type, termination type, shell size, mounting features, mechanical orientation, current and voltage ratings, shell material and finish, contact finish, ingress protection, and operating temperature range. Only parts matching all the parameters listed above are considered valid substitutes. Packaging and RoHS status may be relevant based on compliance or inventory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

No substitute parts were identified with parameters matching those of the MS3112E20-16P.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MS3112E20-16P is active and available in inventory, with no qualified substitutes found based strictly on declared parameters. Selection should remain with this specific part number unless a component with all identical key parameters is identified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters are critical for substituting circular connectors in this category?
A1: Number of positions, connector type, shell size, mounting style, termination type, contact and shell material/finish, mechanical orientation, current and voltage ratings, ingress protection, and operating temperature must all match.

Q2: Can a RoHS compliant part be substituted if the main part is non-compliant?
A2: Substitution based on RoHS status is valid only if all other key parameters align exactly with the original part.

Q3: Are substitutes allowed if the part is active and in stock?
A3: Substitute selection is typically not required if the main part is active and available.

Q4: How does packaging impact substitute selection for this category?
A4: Packaging (e.g., bulk) is a secondary consideration and only relevant if process or logistics require a specific form.

Q5: What should be done if no substitutes are identified?
A5: Only specify a substitute if all required electrical and mechanical parameters are met as declared. If not, retain the original part.
