Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MS3116F16-23P is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute candidates:

• Connector Type: Plug configuration with male pins
• Number of Positions: 23-position contact arrangement
• Shell Size Classification: 16-23 insert specification
• Termination Method: Solder termination capability
• Fastening Mechanism: Bayonet lock coupling system
• Environmental Rating: Environment-resistant ingress protection
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings suitable for the application
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C operational envelope
• Application Domain: Military-grade specifications

The MSW06E16-23P-SR from Milspecwest, LLC qualifies as a substitute based on matching these core parameters within the 26482 Style Connectors series classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MS3116F16-23P and MSW06E16-23P-SR maintain active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The MSW06E16-23P-SR is classified as RoHS non-compliant and carries ECCN designation EAR99, consistent with military-grade circular connector specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply chain requirements and inventory availability
• Packaging format compatibility (Bulk versus Bag)
• Compliance requirements specific to the end application
• Procurement lead times and cost considerations

Both parts are suitable for military applications and operate within the specified environmental and electrical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes MSW06E16-23P-SR a valid substitute for MS3116F16-23P?

A: The MSW06E16-23P-SR matches the core functional parameters: 23-position circular connector plug configuration, bayonet lock fastening, solder termination, aluminum shell construction, environment-resistant ingress protection, and military-grade application suitability. Both parts operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The MS3116F16-23P is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the MSW06E16-23P-SR is supplied in Bag packaging. This distinction may affect handling, storage, and procurement workflows but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The MS3116F16-23P has 1,039 units in stock, while the MSW06E16-23P-SR has 913 units in stock. Both are classified as new original components.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these substitutes?

A: The MSW06E16-23P-SR is designated as RoHS non-compliant with REACH status listed as Vendor Undefined. Compliance requirements should be verified against specific application and regulatory mandates before final selection.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Substitution compatibility depends on the specific design requirements, including mechanical mounting constraints, electrical load specifications, and environmental exposure conditions. The 23-position configuration and bayonet lock mechanism are consistent between parts, supporting direct substitution in applications where the specified electrical and environmental parameters are met.
