Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PC-1624 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 24
• Number of Rows: 3
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Features: Flange
• Insulation Material: Resin
• Series: Sumicon 1600
• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd

The PC-1624(10) satisfies all substitution criteria. The only variation is color (Black instead of Blue), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts share identical connector architecture, contact configuration, and termination methodology within the Sumicon 1600 series.

Parameter Comparison
