Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between SS16M1G10 and SS16M2G10 is valid based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Contact Type & Size: Both parts are Size 16 socket contacts, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating pin contacts.
• Wire Gauge Range: Identical 16-18 AWG (0.75 ~ 1.5 mm²) specification allows equivalent wire termination capacity.
• Contact Termination Method: Both utilize crimp termination, maintaining process compatibility in assembly operations.
• Contact Material & Finish: Both use copper alloy with gold plating at 10.0 µin (0.25 µm), providing equivalent electrical properties and corrosion resistance.
• Features: Both include insulation support, ensuring consistent connector structural integrity.
• Series & Base Product: Both belong to the ecomate® Aquarius™ series with SS16 base product designation, confirming series-level compatibility.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: SS16M1G10 is Obsolete, while SS16M2G10 is Active.
