Reading the part number. NASM16491TYPE3CL2SIZE5 is a NASM number: when the Defense Department cancelled most MS hardware sheets, the National Aerospace Standards Committee adopted them as NASM standards, so NASM16491 is the direct successor to MS16491 and the parts are interchangeable. The suffix TYPE3CL2SIZE5 selects the size or configuration variant from the standard's tables.
