Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The KPT07E16-26P from ITT Cannon, LLC qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• 26-position connector configuration
• Shell size 16-26 compatibility
• Panel mount with bulkhead front-side nut mounting feature
• Bayonet lock fastening type
• 7.5A current rating
• Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C
• Environment resistant ingress protection
• Aluminum alloy shell material
• Solder termination method

Substitution Logic: Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical current capacity, and environmental operating specifications. The KPT07E16-26P operates at 600VAC/850VDC, which encompasses the MSW07E16-26P 800V rating within acceptable parameters for most military applications. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The MSW07E16-26P remains the specified component when original manufacturer continuity and exact cadmium contact finish specifications are required for military procurement documentation.

Substitute Part Selection: The KPT07E16-26P from ITT Cannon, LLC is suitable for applications where:

• Connector mechanical interface compatibility is the primary requirement
• Gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to cadmium
• Solder cup termination is compatible with existing assembly processes
• Voltage rating of 850VDC maximum meets or exceeds application requirements
• Both parts maintain identical current capacity and temperature operating range

Both parts are active products with current manufacturing status and equivalent inventory availability. Neither part carries RoHS compliance certification, and both are classified under the same export control category (EAR99).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KPT07E16-26P directly replace the MSW07E16-26P in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for the 26-position, 16-26 shell size configuration with bayonet lock fastening. The substitute maintains identical current rating (7.5A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and panel mount bulkhead configuration. Verification of contact finish compatibility (gold versus cadmium) and termination method (solder cup versus solder) with existing mating connectors is required before implementation.

Q: What is the voltage rating difference between these connectors?

A: The MSW07E16-26P is rated at 800V. The KPT07E16-26P is rated at 600VAC or 850VDC. For DC applications, the KPT07E16-26P 850VDC rating exceeds the MSW07E16-26P specification. For AC applications, the MSW07E16-26P 800V rating is higher than the KPT07E16-26P 600VAC rating.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish that affect substitution?

A: The MSW07E16-26P features cadmium contact finish on mating surfaces. The KPT07E16-26P features gold contact finish. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance. Cadmium offers different environmental and cost characteristics. Mating connector specifications must be reviewed to ensure compatibility with either finish type.

Q: What is the difference between solder and solder cup termination?

A: Both connectors use solder-based termination methods. The MSW07E16-26P uses direct solder termination. The KPT07E16-26P uses solder cup termination, which provides a defined cup geometry for wire insertion before soldering. Both methods are compatible with standard PCB assembly and wire harness processes.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Both the MSW07E16-26P and KPT07E16-26P are RoHS non-compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both parts maintain active production status. Regulatory compliance requirements for specific applications must be evaluated independently.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The MSW07E16-26P has 698 units in stock. The KPT07E16-26P has 702 units in stock. Both parts are available as new original components.
