Feasibility of Replacing Other Circular Connectors with M16

Replacement Conditions

  • Mechanical Compatibility: Thread and mounting dimensions must match the equipment interface
  • Electrical Compatibility: Rated current, voltage and pin configuration must meet application requirements

Key Considerations for Replacement

Electrical Parameter Verification

Verify rated current/voltage, insulation resistance and contact resistance to ensure they meet the original connector's specifications.

Protection & Locking Check

Match IP protection rating (e.g., IP67/IP68) and locking mechanism (threaded/bayonet) with the application environment.

Pin Definition Confirmation

Ensure pin assignment and wiring definition are identical to avoid electrical misconnection and equipment damage.

Mechanical Fit Check

Confirm equipment interface compatibility to avoid mechanical interference; check cable exit direction and strain relief compatibility.

Technical Note: After replacement, conduct electrical testing (continuity, insulation resistance) and mechanical durability testing to validate the performance of M16 connectors in actual operating conditions.
