Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PT00E-20-16P is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle configuration
• Number of Positions: 16-position contact arrangement
• Shell Size - Insert: 20-16 dimensional specification
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock mechanism
• Category: Circular Connectors

The substitute part MSW00E20-16P meets these core substitution criteria. Both components share identical position count, shell size designation, and bayonet locking fastening type. Both are classified as circular connector receptacles and maintain Active product status, ensuring current manufacturing support and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PT00E-20-16P and MSW00E20-16P are Active product status components, indicating current manufacturing support and ongoing availability. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Amphenol PT00E-20-16P: Primary choice when Amphenol Industrial Operations sourcing is specified or preferred. Active status confirms continued production and supply chain reliability.

Milspecwest MSW00E20-16P: Valid substitute when equivalent 16-position, 20-16 shell size, bayonet-lock circular connector receptacles are required. Active status and higher current inventory (875 units) provide alternative sourcing flexibility. This part is classified as RoHS non-compliant; compliance requirements must be evaluated against application specifications.

Both components share identical core mechanical and electrical interface parameters necessary for substitution in 16-position circular connector receptacle applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes MSW00E20-16P a valid substitute for PT00E-20-16P?

A: Both components are 16-position circular connector receptacles with identical shell size (20-16) and bayonet lock fastening type. These parameters define the mechanical and electrical interface compatibility required for substitution in receptacle applications.

Q: Are there differences in termination methods between these parts?

A: MSW00E20-16P specifies solder termination. PT00E-20-16P termination method is not specified in available documentation. Termination compatibility must be verified against application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: PT00E-20-16P is supplied in Bulk packaging, while MSW00E20-16P is supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and ordering quantities but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: MSW00E20-16P is specified for military applications. PT00E-20-16P application classification is not specified in available documentation. Application suitability must be confirmed against specific military or environmental requirements.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance status of these parts?

A: MSW00E20-16P is RoHS non-compliant. PT00E-20-16P RoHS status is not specified in available documentation. RoHS compliance requirements must be evaluated against application and regulatory specifications before selection.
