Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ND3FR16P-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Hexadecimal circuit configuration (16 positions)
• 100mA current rating at 5VDC
• Rotary tool actuator type
• Surface mount gull wing termination
• Beryllium copper contacts with gold finish
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• Operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C
• Mechanical and electrical life rating of 20,000 steps

The FD02FR16P-R qualifies as a substitute part based on matching the core electrical specifications (hexadecimal configuration, 100mA at 5VDC) and mechanical compatibility (rotary actuator, surface mount termination). Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain equivalent contact material and finish specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FD02FR16P-R is the recommended substitute for the ND3FR16P-R based on the following criteria:

• Both components are manufactured by NKK Switches, ensuring consistent design philosophy and quality standards
• Electrical specifications are identical: hexadecimal 16-position configuration, 100mA current rating, 5VDC operation
• Mechanical compatibility is maintained through matching surface mount gull wing termination and rotary actuator design
• The FD02FR16P-R maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability
• Both components comply with ROHS3 requirements, supporting modern environmental and regulatory standards

The transition from ND3FR16P-R (Last Time Buy) to FD02FR16P-R (Active) provides design continuity while securing long-term component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the FD02FR16P-R compatible with the ND3FR16P-R?

A: Both components share identical electrical specifications (hexadecimal 16-position, 100mA, 5VDC), matching actuator types (rotary), and equivalent termination styles (surface mount gull wing). These parameters define functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The provided specifications confirm matching pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and termination style. Detailed dimensional data for the FD02FR16P-R was not provided in the reference parameters; physical verification is necessary if board layout constraints are critical.

Q: Why is the ND3FR16P-R classified as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The FD02FR16P-R, classified as Active, represents the current production alternative from NKK Switches for this functional category.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The ND3FR16P-R is confirmed ROHS3 compliant. Compliance status for the FD02FR16P-R was not explicitly provided in the reference parameters.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for the substitute part?

A: The FD02FR16P-R moisture sensitivity level was not provided in the reference parameters. The ND3FR16P-R is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited).
