Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SP16M1G5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact Size: 16
• Wire Gauge Range: 16-18 AWG (0.75 ~ 1.5 mm²)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 5.00 µin (0.127 µm)
• Features: Insulation Support
• Series: ecomate® Aquarius™
• Manufacturer: Amphenol Sine Systems Corp

The SP16M2G5 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete SP16M1G5. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging configuration and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SP16M2G5 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete SP16M1G5. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp within the ecomate® Aquarius™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications subject to environmental directives.

Product Status Consideration: The SP16M1G5 is classified as obsolete, while SP16M2G5 is active. Selection of the active SP16M2G5 ensures long-term supply availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Packaging Difference: The SP16M1G5 is supplied in bulk packaging, while SP16M2G5 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This packaging difference does not affect component functionality or electrical performance. Tape & Reel packaging provides advantages in automated assembly processes and component handling efficiency.
