SP20M1G5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SP20M1G5 is a pin contact for circular connectors manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp, designed for 20-22 AWG wire applications in Size 16 crimp terminations. This component is part of the ecomate® Aquarius™ series and is classified as a signal, stamped pin contact with gold finish.

The SP20M1G5 has reached obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements for applications utilizing this contact type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SP20M1G5 are determined by compatibility across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Contact Type and Configuration: Pin contact, signal type, stamped design
• Contact Size: Size 16 (mechanical fit requirement)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 20-22 AWG (0.34 ~ 0.5mm²)
• Termination Method: Crimp termination only
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper alloy with gold plating, 5.00µin thickness
• Series Alignment: ecomate® Aquarius™ series
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Substitute parts must match all critical parameters to ensure proper mechanical fit, electrical performance, and compliance with applicable standards. Parts differing in contact size, wire gauge, termination type, or series cannot be used interchangeably.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SP20M2G5 is a direct substitute for the obsolete SP20M1G5. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical contact parameters.

The primary differentiation between SP20M1G5 and SP20M2G5 is product status and packaging. The SP20M1G5 has reached end-of-life status, while SP20M2G5 remains in active production with Tape & Reel packaging. From a compliance perspective, both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making SP20M2G5 suitable for new designs and ongoing production support.

For applications currently specified with SP20M1G5, SP20M2G5 provides equivalent functional and electrical performance without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SP20M2G5 be used as a direct replacement for SP20M1G5?

A: Yes. SP20M2G5 is electrically and mechanically identical to SP20M1G5. Both parts feature identical contact size (16), wire gauge (20-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), material composition (copper alloy), finish (gold at 5.00µin), and series designation (ecomate® Aquarius™). The primary difference is product lifecycle status: SP20M1G5 is obsolete while SP20M2G5 is active in production.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Substitutes must match: contact type (pin, stamped, signal), contact size (16), wire gauge range (20-22 AWG / 0.34-0.5mm²), termination method (crimp), contact material (copper alloy), finish material and thickness (gold, 5.00µin), and series (ecomate® Aquarius™). Deviations in any of these parameters result in incompatibility.

Q: Does packaging affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Packaging (Tape & Reel versus other formats) affects supply chain logistics, handling, and automation compatibility but does not impact the electrical or mechanical performance of the contact itself. Component selection can proceed based on packaging availability and manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are there RoHS and REACH compliance differences between the parts?

A: No. Both SP20M1G5 and SP20M2G5 maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Environmental and regulatory compliance is identical between the two parts.

Q: Why is SP20M1G5 now obsolete?

A: SP20M1G5 has reached end-of-life status in the Amphenol product portfolio. SP20M2G5 supersedes it with identical specifications and active production availability.
