Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T3P22FC1LZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The main part accepts 22 AWG wire. Substitute parts must accommodate 22 AWG within their specified wire gauge range. The MS20M23F accepts 20-22 AWG (0.34 ~ 0.5mm²), which includes 22 AWG within its operational range.

Contact Termination Method: Both the main part and substitute use crimp termination, ensuring compatible assembly processes and tooling requirements.

Contact Finish Specification: Both parts feature gold flash plating, providing equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Contact Material Base: The main part uses brass; the substitute uses copper alloy. Both materials provide suitable electrical and mechanical properties for socket contact applications.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating identical storage and handling requirements with unlimited shelf life under standard conditions.

Product Status and Compliance: Both parts are actively manufactured and RoHS compliant, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: T3P22FC1LZ remains the specified component when connector assemblies are designed specifically for the Trident T3P series and ITT Cannon manufacturing standards.

Substitute Selection: MS20M23F is functionally equivalent for applications requiring 22 AWG socket contacts with crimp termination and gold flash plating. The substitute accommodates the specified wire gauge within its 20-22 AWG range and maintains identical MSL and RoHS compliance levels.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts satisfy RoHS requirements. The main part carries RoHS Compliant status; the substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant status, both meeting current regulatory standards. The MS20M23F additionally carries REACH Unaffected designation.

Availability Consideration: MS20M23F maintains higher inventory levels (11,145 pcs) compared to T3P22FC1LZ (743 pcs), which may influence supply chain decisions for high-volume applications.

Contact Size Specification: MS20M23F specifies Contact Size 16, which represents the physical contact cavity size within the ecomate® Aquarius™ connector series. This parameter must align with the mating connector cavity specifications in the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MS20M23F directly replace T3P22FC1LZ in existing connector assemblies?

A: MS20M23F is electrically and mechanically equivalent for 22 AWG crimp socket contact applications. However, physical compatibility depends on the connector body design. The MS20M23F is sized for ecomate® Aquarius™ series connectors (Contact Size 16), while T3P22FC1LZ is designed for Trident T3P series connectors. Verify that the substitute contact size matches the mating connector cavity specifications before implementation.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on: wire gauge compatibility (22 AWG), contact type (socket), termination method (crimp), contact finish (gold flash), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Both parts meet these criteria. Contact size and connector series compatibility must be verified separately.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part uses brass; the substitute uses copper alloy. Both materials provide suitable electrical conductivity and mechanical properties for socket contact applications. The gold flash finish on both parts provides the primary corrosion resistance and electrical interface characteristics.

Q: Do both parts have identical storage and handling requirements?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. No special moisture control measures are required for either component.

Q: What is the significance of Contact Size 16 specified for MS20M23F?

A: Contact Size 16 refers to the physical cavity size within the ecomate® Aquarius™ connector body. This dimension must match the connector cavity specifications in your application. Verify this parameter against your connector assembly design before selecting the substitute.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Both T3P22FC1LZ and MS20M23F are listed as Active products, indicating current manufacturing availability from their respective manufacturers.
