Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching mechanical and electrical parameters present in the data for rectangular connectors. These parameters are: connector type, contact type, number of rows, pitch (mating), row spacing (mating), mounting type, termination, fastening type, contact shape, insulation color, and MSL. Only parts matching these key parameters are included for substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PRT-15874 is obsolete. Substitute part PRT-16581 is currently active and meets RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 status. Based on the available information, selection may be determined by the product status and compliance fields.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What criteria are used for substituting PRT-15874 with PRT-16581?
A1: Substitution is determined strictly using the following documented parameters: connector type, contact type, number of rows, pitch (mating), row spacing (mating), mounting type, termination, fastening type, contact shape, insulation color, and MSL.

Q2: Are there significant electrical or mechanical differences between PRT-15874 and PRT-16581?
A2: All substitution decisions are based only on the explicitly provided parameters. Both parts share the same basic mechanical configuration, but differ in number of positions.

Q3: Are package and compliance statuses considered?
A3: Yes, the selection table notes both MSL (1, Unlimited) and RoHS3 status for PRT-16581. PRT-15874 is obsolete, while PRT-16581 is active.

Q4: What should be checked for connector compatibility?
A4: Compatibility is determined by matching key parameters: pitch, row spacing, number of rows, contact type, and mechanical mounting attributes as provided.

Q5: How important is part status for substituting obsolete connectors?
A5: Obsolete status restricts supply availability. Substitute parts should be active and maintain compliance with required certifications and parameters as documented.

Q6: Do both parts support the same mounting methodology?
A6: Both support through hole mounting and solder termination as specified.
