Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SP20M1T 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: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Features: Insulation Support
• Series: ecomate® Aquarius™
• Manufacturer: Amphenol Sine Systems Corp

The SP20M2T meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction between these components is packaging configuration and product status, with SP20M2T available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and classified as Active product status, whereas SP20M1T is Obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SP20M2T is the direct equivalent substitute for the SP20M1T. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp within the ecomate® Aquarius™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all contact parameters, wire gauge ratings, and termination characteristics.

The SP20M2T is classified as Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

The primary operational difference is packaging format: SP20M2T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, which is standard for high-volume automated assembly processes. This packaging change does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Selection of SP20M2T over the Obsolete SP20M1T is appropriate for new designs, procurement of replacement inventory, and applications requiring assured long-term component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SP20M2T be used as a direct replacement for SP20M1T in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The SP20M2T is electrically and mechanically equivalent to SP20M1T. Both components feature identical contact size (16), wire gauge range (20-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), material composition (copper alloy), and finish (tin). The components are interchangeable at the functional level.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between SP20M1T and SP20M2T?

A: SP20M1T uses standard packaging, while SP20M2T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and high-volume production environments. The contact specifications and performance characteristics remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Why is SP20M1T listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. SP20M2T, classified as Active, represents the current production equivalent and is the recommended selection for ongoing procurement and new applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these components?

A: No. Both SP20M1T and SP20M2T maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental requirements are satisfied equally by both components.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these pin contacts?

A: Both components accommodate wire gauges of 20-22 AWG, equivalent to 0.34 ~ 0.5mm² in metric specification. Crimp termination is the specified connection method for this wire gauge range.
