The QR/P-16P-C(21) meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging configuration and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The QR/P-16P-C(21) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete QR/P-16P-C(01). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, pitch, row arrangement, and mounting characteristics. The QR/P-16P-C(21) carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and carry MSL rating 1, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. Selection of the QR/P-16P-C(21) eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full design compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the QR/P-16P-C(21) directly replace the QR/P-16P-C(01) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and connector style. The QR/P-16P-C(21) is a direct substitute with no design modifications required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The QR/P-16P-C(01) is obsolete with standard packaging, while the QR/P-16P-C(21) is active with bulk packaging. All functional and electrical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance status and MSL rating 1. Certifications and regulatory classifications (ECCN, HTSUS) are equivalent.

Q: Does packaging affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: No. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The bulk packaging of the QR/P-16P-C(21) is a logistics consideration only and does not impact connector functionality or interchangeability.

Q: Why is the QR/P-16P-C(01) listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The QR/P-16P-C(21) represents the active continuation within the QR/P series, ensuring long-term availability and support.
