1616342-2

Overview

The 1616342-2 is a mechanical fastener manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. It is identified as a screw with the specification 2-56 thread size, 3/16 inch length, and broad head design. The component is classified under hardware for electronic assemblies and is RoHS compliant. This part serves as a structural or mounting element within larger connector or relay systems rather than an active electrical component.

Feature Summary

• Provides secure mechanical fastening for assembly integration
• Designed for use in aerospace and defense environments
• RoHS compliant material composition

Applications

• Mounting connectors in military avionics
• Securing relay housings in defense equipment
• General assembly of aerospace electronic modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact thread pitch and head style against the engineering drawing before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status with the supplier if specific regulatory documentation is required for the final assembly. Ensure the part number matches the current revision to avoid compatibility issues with mating components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2-56 thread standard is required for panel or chassis mounting. Consider the 3/16 inch length to ensure adequate engagement without protruding into sensitive areas. Verify that the broad head design meets the torque and surface area requirements of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the general hardware category within the TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine portfolio. It is often associated with circular connectors and high-power relays such as the D7AC series. It functions as a passive mechanical support element rather than a signal-carrying or switching device.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 2-56 x 3/16 broad head screws from qualified aerospace suppliers. Ensure material properties and corrosion resistance ratings match the original specification for environmental sealing.
