12100-1HC0A
SOFT
DJN12-10001
The 12100-1HC0A connecting rod is a critical engine component designed as a direct replacement for the original Nissan part with the same OE number. The original Nissan 12100-1HC0A connecting rod has been discontinued, and this SOFT-branded aftermarket part provides a standardized solution for commercial procurement and engine maintenance needs. It is engineered to match the specifications of Nissan HR-series engines, delivering consistent performance in daily vehicle operations. This component serves as the "power bridge" within internal combustion engines, transferring combustion pressure and converting linear piston motion into rotational crankshaft motion.
This connecting rod is primarily designed for the Nissan HR16DE 1.6L inline-four gasoline engine. It also demonstrates compatibility with other engines in the Nissan HR12 series that share the same connecting rod specifications. The HR16DE engine, developed through the Nissan-Renault alliance, is widely used in entry-level passenger vehicles and light commercial applications.
The 12100-1HC0A connecting rod fits the following vehicle models equipped with the HR16DE engine:
Nissan March (K13 generation)
Nissan Versa (2009-2019 model years)
Nissan Tiida (C11 generation)
Nissan Livina
Nissan Qashqai (J10 generation)
This broad compatibility makes the part suitable for independent repair workshops, commercial fleet maintenance operations, and engine remanufacturing projects.
This connecting rod is manufactured using the cracking process, the same production method employed for the original Nissan HR16DE connecting rods. The process involves one-piece casting followed by precise fracturing to separate the connecting rod cap from the rod body. This method creates a unique, irregular mating surface between the two components, resulting in higher assembly accuracy compared to traditional cutting methods. The precision fit ensures proper alignment during engine operation and maintains structural integrity under varying load conditions.
The connecting rod features an I-beam cross-section, a design that balances structural strength and weight reduction. The piston pin end has a diameter of 19mm, classified in the industry as a "19mm-straight" type connecting rod. The lightweight construction reduces engine rotational inertia, which contributes to improved throttle response and allows the engine to reach higher rotational speeds. These design characteristics align with the original engine's performance parameters.

For commercial users engaged in vehicle maintenance and engine repair operations, this aftermarket connecting rod addresses key supply chain challenges. The discontinuation of the original Nissan part has created supply gaps in many markets, and this replacement component offers a consistent supply source for both small and large order volumes.
The part is manufactured to match the dimensional and performance specifications of the original component, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of compatibility issues. Standardized packaging ensures proper protection during transportation and storage, which is particularly important for bulk orders intended for commercial fleet maintenance programs.
This connecting rod is compatible with most naturally aspirated HR16DE engine variants used in the vehicle models listed above. For specific engine variants produced for regional markets, we recommend verifying the OE number of your existing connecting rod before placing an order.
This replacement part follows the same design specifications and manufacturing process (cracking process) as the original Nissan 12100-1HC0A connecting rod. The primary difference is the brand and manufacturing origin. It is intended as a functional replacement for the discontinued original part.
We offer flexible order quantities to accommodate different commercial needs, from single units for small repair jobs to bulk orders for large-scale fleet maintenance and engine remanufacturing projects. Standard packaging is provided for all orders, and custom packaging options are available for volume purchases upon request.
