TE Connectivity Erni 024912 D-Sub HD Female Screw Lock Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Erni 024912 is a D-Sub HD (High Density) female connector with screw lock mechanism, classified as a D-Shaped connector for industrial and commercial applications. This component is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for new designs and field replacements. The obsolete status requires engineers to transition to functionally equivalent active alternatives that maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Erni 024912 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: D-Sub HD (High Density) female configuration
• Locking Mechanism: Screw lock (jackscrew socket)
• Electrical Category: D-Shaped connector classification
• Mechanical Interface: Female socket connector

The identified substitute part 1-829261-4 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors satisfies all substitution requirements through identical functional classification and mechanical specifications. This part maintains the same D-Sub HD female screw lock architecture while offering active product status and full compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-829261-4

The part 1-829261-4 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 024912. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The substitute maintains active product status with 1018 pieces in current inventory, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The EAR99 ECCN classification provides standard export control compliance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts function as D-Sub HD female screw lock connectors within the AMPLIMITE HD series architecture, maintaining identical mechanical interface specifications for jackscrew socket applications.

Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity protection, suitable for standard storage and handling conditions without special environmental controls.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity Erni 024912 listed as obsolete?

A: The 024912 has reached end-of-life status within TE Connectivity's product portfolio. While limited inventory remains available (816 pieces), the manufacturer no longer produces this component. The AMP Connectors division has consolidated D-Sub HD connector offerings under the AMPLIMITE HD series, with part 1-829261-4 serving as the active equivalent.

Q: Are the 024912 and 1-829261-4 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Both parts are D-Sub HD female screw lock connectors with identical functional classification. The 1-829261-4 is specifically designated as a jackscrew socket for AMPLIMITE Series HD applications, maintaining the same mechanical interface specifications required for D-Sub HD female connector assemblies.

Q: What is the difference between these parts in terms of compliance?

A: The substitute part 1-829261-4 carries active RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected certifications with EAR99 export classification. The original 024912 does not have specified compliance documentation due to its obsolete status. For new designs and procurement, the 1-829261-4 meets current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Can I continue using the 024912 in existing inventory?

A: The 024912 remains functionally valid for existing applications. However, for new production runs, field replacements, and design updates, transition to the 1-829261-4 is recommended to ensure compliance with current standards and maintain supply chain continuity.

Q: What is the MSL 1 rating on the substitute part?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates the component has unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. This means the part does not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions and can be handled under standard warehouse and manufacturing environments without risk of moisture-induced damage.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 024912 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1-829261-4 is supplied in bulk packaging, standard for D-Sub connector components. Confirm specific packaging requirements with your procurement department for integration into assembly workflows.
