SP20M1N Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SP20M1N is a pin contact component manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp, designed for the ecomate® Aquarius™ series of circular connectors. This component is classified as a signal, stamped pin contact with a size 16 specification, accommodating wire gauges of 20-22 AWG (0.34 ~ 0.5mm²) through crimp termination. The SP20M1N is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing applications requiring this contact specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete SP20M1N is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Contact Type: Pin, Signal, Stamped
• Contact Size: 16
• Wire Gauge Range: 20-22 AWG (0.34 ~ 0.5mm²)
• Contact Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Nickel
• Series Compatibility: ecomate® Aquarius™
• Manufacturer: Amphenol Sine Systems Corp

The SP20M1N is directly substitutable with SP20M2N. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the ecomate® Aquarius™ series. The primary distinction is product status: SP20M1N is obsolete, while SP20M2N maintains active production status with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SP20M2N is the direct equivalent for SP20M1N applications. Selection of SP20M2N is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental and safety standards.

Product Lifecycle: SP20M2N is in active production status with documented inventory availability (830 Pcs New Original In Stock), providing supply chain reliability. SP20M1N, classified as obsolete, presents supply discontinuity risk.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All functional parameters—contact type, size, wire gauge accommodation, termination method, material composition, and finish specification—are identical between the two components.

Packaging Consideration: SP20M2N is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which is standard for automated assembly operations and provides cost efficiency for volume applications.

For new designs or component replenishment, SP20M2N should be specified in place of SP20M1N to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturing continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SP20M2N be used as a direct replacement for SP20M1N in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. SP20M2N is electrically and mechanically equivalent to SP20M1N across all specified parameters. Both components are identical in contact type, size, wire gauge range, termination method, material, and finish. The components are interchangeable within the ecomate® Aquarius™ series.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting SP20M1N with SP20M2N?

A: SP20M1N is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. SP20M2N is the active equivalent component currently manufactured and stocked by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp, ensuring supply chain continuity and availability for ongoing applications.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between SP20M1N and SP20M2N?

A: SP20M2N is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The original packaging specification for SP20M1N was not provided in the technical data. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and offers handling and storage advantages for production environments.

Q: Do both components meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SP20M1N and SP20M2N are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. They meet identical environmental and safety regulatory requirements.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by SP20M2N?

A: SP20M2N accommodates wire gauges of 20-22 AWG, equivalent to 0.34 ~ 0.5mm² in metric specification. This range is identical to SP20M1N.

Q: Is SP20M2N suitable for signal applications?

A: Yes. SP20M2N is classified as a signal contact type with stamped construction, identical to SP20M1N. Both components are designed for signal transmission applications within circular connector assemblies.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for SP20M2N?

A: SP20M2N carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage and handling do not require controlled humidity environments.
