Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PT01A-20-16S(SR) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle with Female Sockets configuration
• Number of Positions: Must be 16 positions
• Shell Size - Insert: Must be 20-16
• Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line) or cable-mount configuration
• Termination: Must be Solder
• Fastening Type: Must be Bayonet Lock

The substitute part MSW01A20-16S-SR meets all these criteria, qualifying it as a direct equivalent for the PT01A-20-16S(SR).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PT01A-20-16S(SR) and MSW01A20-16S-SR maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The MSW01A20-16S-SR provides documented electrical specifications (13A current rating, 800V voltage rating) and thermal operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C), which may be required for design verification in applications with defined environmental or electrical constraints. The MSW01A20-16S-SR is classified as RoHS non-compliant; compliance requirements must be evaluated against application specifications before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if MSW01A20-16S-SR can substitute for PT01A-20-16S(SR)?

A: Substitution is valid when the connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets), number of positions (16), shell size (20-16), mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line), termination method (Solder), and fastening type (Bayonet Lock) are identical. The MSW01A20-16S-SR meets all these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: The MSW01A20-16S-SR specifies 13A current rating and 800V voltage rating with operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C. The PT01A-20-16S(SR) does not provide these specifications in available documentation. Verify that the MSW01A20-16S-SR electrical characteristics meet application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between these manufacturers?

A: PT01A-20-16S(SR) is manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, a major circular connector supplier. MSW01A20-16S-SR is manufactured by Milspecwest, LLC. Both maintain Active product status and are qualified for military applications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution eligibility?

A: The MSW01A20-16S-SR is RoHS non-compliant. If the application requires RoHS compliance, this part is not suitable as a substitute. Verify compliance requirements against application specifications.

Q: Are packaging considerations relevant to substitution?

A: The PT01A-20-16S(SR) is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging type does not affect functional substitution but may impact procurement and inventory management processes.
