Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PT06E-20-16P is based on the following critical parameters derived from the provided data:

• Connector Type: Plug configuration with male pins
• Number of Positions: 16-position contact arrangement
• Shell Size - Insert: 20-16 specification
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Fastening Type: Bayonet lock mechanism
• Mounting Type: Free hanging (in-line) configuration
• Product Status: Active status ensuring ongoing availability and support

The substitute part MSW06E20-16P from Milspecwest, LLC matches these core parameters, establishing functional and mechanical equivalence for applications requiring 16-position circular connector plugs with solder termination and bayonet fastening.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PT06E-20-16P and MSW06E20-16P maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and component availability. The MSW06E20-16P provides documented electrical specifications (13A current rating, 800V voltage rating) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), which are critical for applications in military and industrial environments. The MSW06E20-16P is classified as RoHS non-compliant, consistent with military-grade connector specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements, compliance mandates, and supply chain preferences, with both options providing equivalent mechanical and electrical connectivity for 16-position circular connector plug applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes MSW06E20-16P a valid substitute for PT06E-20-16P?

A: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 16-position plug configuration, 20-16 shell size, solder termination, bayonet fastening, and free-hanging mounting type. These parameters define functional and mechanical equivalence for circular connector applications.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Yes. The PT06E-20-16P is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the MSW06E20-16P is supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging selection depends on inventory management and handling requirements for your manufacturing process.

Q: What is the significance of the Series designation for MSW06E20-16P?

A: The MSW06E20-16P is classified as a 26482 Style Connector, indicating conformance to military connector standards. This designation ensures compatibility with systems designed to 26482 specifications.

Q: How do the electrical ratings compare?

A: The MSW06E20-16P specifies 13A current rating and 800V voltage rating with an operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C. The PT06E-20-16P does not provide these specifications in the available data. Verify that the MSW06E20-16P ratings meet your application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance status?

A: The MSW06E20-16P is RoHS non-compliant, which is typical for military-grade connectors. Confirm RoHS requirements for your specific application before component selection.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Both parts are Active status. Selection should be based on your application's electrical requirements, environmental specifications, compliance mandates, and supply chain availability. Consult your system design specifications and procurement policies.
