LAPP 100240 Hood Connector Top Entry PG16 HB6 IP65 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LAPP 100240 is a heavy duty hood connector designed for top entry applications with PG16 thread size in the EPIC® HB series. This accessory provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The component features aluminum alloy housing with powder coat finish and employs a locking clip mechanism on the base bottom for secure installation.

The main part number 100240 carries a Last Time Buy product status, indicating discontinued production. Identification of functionally equivalent substitute components is necessary to ensure continued availability and system compatibility for new installations and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for LAPP 100240 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Size: HB6
• Thread Size: PG16
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP65
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated
• Physical Dimensions: 60.00mm L × 43.00mm W × 54.80mm H
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Housing Color: Gray

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum upper limit of 100°C (original specification 125°C)
• Series Designation: EPIC® H-B variant acceptable within EPIC® family
• Product Status: Active status preferred for discontinued Last Time Buy components

The substitute part 10024000 maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical connector geometry, thread engagement, ingress protection classification, and housing specifications. Series designation variation (EPIC® H-B versus EPIC® HB) represents a product line evolution within the same manufacturer family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LAPP 10024000

The LAPP 10024000 is the direct functional equivalent for LAPP 100240 applications. This substitute maintains identical mechanical interface specifications, electrical ingress protection classification, and physical form factor. The component is currently in Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the Last Time Buy designation of the original part.

Temperature Operating Range Consideration:

The substitute part 10024000 specifies a maximum operating temperature of 100°C, compared to 125°C for the original 100240. This represents a 25°C reduction in upper temperature limit. Selection of the substitute is appropriate for applications where the maximum ambient or operational temperature does not exceed 100°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C must retain the original part number 100240 or identify alternative solutions through the manufacturer.

Series Designation:

The series designation change from EPIC® HB to EPIC® H-B reflects product line evolution within the LAPP EPIC® connector family. Both designations represent the same mechanical and electrical interface standards. This variation does not affect interchangeability or performance in equivalent applications.

Compliance and Certification:

Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LAPP 10024000 be used as a direct replacement for LAPP 100240 in all applications?

A: The LAPP 10024000 provides direct mechanical and electrical substitution for LAPP 100240 in applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 100°C. The original part 100240 is required for applications requiring operation above 100°C up to 125°C.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on part 100240?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that LAPP has discontinued production of part number 100240. The substitute part 10024000 is in Active status, meaning it remains in current production and is available for new orders and long-term supply continuity.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between 100240 and 10024000?

A: Yes. Both components share identical dimensions of 60.00mm L × 43.00mm W × 54.80mm H, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing mounting and installation configurations.

Q: What does the series designation change from EPIC® HB to EPIC® H-B indicate?

A: The series designation represents a product line evolution within the LAPP EPIC® connector family. Both designations conform to the same mechanical and electrical interface standards and do not affect interchangeability or functional performance.

Q: Are there any differences in the locking mechanism between these parts?

A: No. Both components employ identical locking mechanisms: a single locking clip located on the base bottom, ensuring equivalent installation security and retention.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: LAPP 100240 has 732 pieces in stock (Last Time Buy status). LAPP 10024000 has 852 pieces in stock (Active status), providing greater long-term availability assurance.

Q: Do both parts carry the same ingress protection rating?

A: Yes. Both LAPP 100240 and LAPP 10024000 are rated IP65, providing identical dust-tight and water-resistant protection for heavy duty connector applications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: LAPP 100240 is supplied in Bulk packaging. LAPP 10024000 packaging information is not specified in the available data.
