PT00E20-16P-SR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PT00E20-16P-SR is a 16-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, conforming to MIL-DTL-26482 Series I specifications. This panel-mount connector features male pins with solder cup termination, bayonet lock fastening, and environment-sealed ingress protection. The connector is actively produced and maintains 769 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when procurement requirements necessitate qualified alternatives meeting equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PT00E20-16P-SR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Receptacle type with male pins, 16-position contact arrangement
• Mechanical Interface: Shell size 20-16, panel-mount flange configuration, bayonet lock fastening
• Termination Method: Solder-based connection (solder cup or solder termination)
• Environmental Rating: Environment sealed or environment resistant classification
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C range capability
• Series Compliance: MIL-DTL-26482 or equivalent 26482-style connector standard

The MSW00E20-16P-SR qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. Both connectors share identical position count, shell size, mounting configuration, fastening mechanism, and operating temperature specifications. Both maintain compliance with MIL-DTL-26482 standards and provide equivalent environmental protection suitable for aerospace, communication, industrial, and instrumentation applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PT00E20-16P-SR and MSW00E20-16P-SR maintain active product status and are currently in production. Selection between these connectors should be based on the following factors:

PT00E20-16P-SR (Amphenol): Primary selection when Amphenol sourcing is preferred or contractually specified. Offers environment-sealed classification and includes integrated backshell, cable clamp, and strain relief features. Suitable for applications requiring maximum environmental protection.

MSW00E20-16P-SR (Milspecwest): Qualified alternative when Amphenol availability is constrained. Provides environment-resistant classification with strain relief. Includes published electrical ratings (13A current, 800V voltage) not specified for the primary part. Suitable for military applications with equivalent MIL-DTL-26482 compliance.

Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and classified under EAR99 export control. Neither part carries moisture sensitivity level restrictions beyond standard handling. Selection should confirm application-specific requirements for environmental sealing level, feature set, and sourcing constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSW00E20-16P-SR directly replace PT00E20-16P-SR in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require the specific features included with the Amphenol part (backshell, cable clamp). Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, pin configurations, and operating temperature ranges. Verify that environment-resistant classification meets application requirements where environment-sealed classification was originally specified.

Q: What is the difference between "environment sealed" and "environment resistant"?

A: Environment sealed provides a higher degree of protection against moisture and contaminant ingress. Environment resistant offers protection suitable for most industrial and military applications but may not provide equivalent sealing in extreme moisture conditions. Application requirements determine which classification is acceptable.

Q: Are these connectors interchangeable with other MIL-DTL-26482 16-position connectors?

A: Interchangeability is limited to connectors matching all specified parameters: 16-position configuration, shell size 20-16, panel-mount flange, bayonet lock fastening, and solder termination. Connectors with different shell sizes, position counts, or fastening mechanisms are not interchangeable despite MIL-DTL-26482 compliance.

Q: What packaging is provided with each part?

A: PT00E20-16P-SR packaging is not specified in available documentation. MSW00E20-16P-SR is supplied in bag packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications before finalizing supplier selection.

Q: Are there RoHS-compliant alternatives available?

A: Both listed parts are RoHS non-compliant. RoHS-compliant 16-position MIL-DTL-26482 circular connectors with equivalent specifications are not included in this substitute list. Consult with manufacturers for RoHS-compliant options if regulatory compliance is required.
