T3P16MC1LZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The T3P16MC1LZ is a machined pin contact manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, designed for crimp termination applications with 16 AWG wire. This component is part of the Trident T3P series and features gold plating on brass material. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement in connector assemblies without redesign of mating interfaces.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MP16M23F from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Contact Type: Pin (identical function)
• Contact Termination: Crimp (identical termination method)
• Contact Finish: Gold Flash (identical surface treatment)
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 16-18 AWG range (encompasses 16 AWG specification)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equivalent regulatory compliance)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical moisture sensitivity classification)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (identical export control status)
• HTSUS Code: 8536.90.4000 (identical tariff classification)

The MP16M23F accommodates wire gauges from 16-18 AWG, with the 16 AWG specification of the T3P16MC1LZ falling within this acceptable range. Both contacts feature crimp termination with gold flash finish on conductive base materials, enabling functional equivalence in circular connector applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

T3P16MC1LZ Selection Criteria:

• Primary application in Trident T3P series connector systems
• Specified for 16 AWG wire gauge applications
• Brass contact material with gold flash finish
• Active product status with established supply chain (859 Pcs in stock)

MP16M23F Selection Criteria:

• Alternative source for pin contacts in 16 AWG applications
• Broader wire gauge range (16-18 AWG) accommodates 16 AWG specification
• Copper alloy base material with equivalent gold flash finish
• Active product status with higher inventory availability (43,051 Pcs in stock)
• Suitable for ecomate® Aquarius™ series connector assemblies

Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and export control classification. Selection between these parts depends on connector series compatibility and supply chain requirements. The MP16M23F provides expanded wire gauge accommodation within the 16 AWG specification range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MP16M23F directly replace T3P16MC1LZ in existing assemblies?

A: Functional replacement is supported when the connector housing and mating interface are compatible with both the Trident T3P and ecomate® Aquarius™ series specifications. Contact geometry and insertion force characteristics must be verified against the specific connector design.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The T3P16MC1LZ is specified for 16 AWG wire exclusively. The MP16M23F accommodates 16-18 AWG (0.75-1.5 mm²), meaning it can accept 16 AWG wire within its design parameters. The 16 AWG specification of the original part falls within the acceptable range of the substitute.

Q: Are there material differences between the contacts?

A: The T3P16MC1LZ uses brass as the base contact material, while the MP16M23F uses copper alloy. Both materials are conductive and support gold flash plating. The functional electrical characteristics remain equivalent for crimp termination applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both T3P16MC1LZ and MP16M23F are supplied in Bulk packaging format.

Q: How do I verify compatibility with my connector system?

A: Confirm that your connector housing accepts both the Trident T3P series (for T3P16MC1LZ) or ecomate® Aquarius™ series (for MP16M23F) contact specifications. Verify contact size, insertion force, and mating interface geometry against the connector assembly documentation.
