LAPP 100720C0 Heavy Duty Connector Base – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LAPP 100720C0 is an active, ROHS3-compliant panel mount connector base designed for bottom entry applications in the EPIC® HB series. This heavy duty connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The connector features an aluminum alloy housing with powder coat finish and accommodates HB16 size contacts with dual locking clips positioned on the base bottom. Substitute parts are identified to provide equivalent functional performance when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative connector series compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LAPP 100720C0 are qualified based on functional equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Base – Panel Mount configuration
• Entry Style: Bottom Entry orientation
• Ingress Protection: IP65 rating (dust tight, water resistant)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material & Finish: Aluminum construction with powder coat finish
• Lock Mechanism: Dual locking clips on base bottom
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The HARTING 09300160301ML qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical functional and environmental parameters. While the size designation differs (16B versus HB16), both connectors operate within identical electrical and mechanical specifications for panel mount base applications with bottom entry configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LAPP 100720C0 (Primary Part)

The LAPP 100720C0 remains the primary selection for applications requiring EPIC® HB series connector compatibility. This part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. The connector delivers IP65 environmental protection with aluminum alloy construction and operates reliably across the -40°C to 125°C industrial temperature range. Current inventory of 707 pieces supports immediate availability.

HARTING 09300160301ML (Substitute Part)

The HARTING 09300160301ML serves as a functional equivalent when EPIC® HB series compatibility is not required or when Han® B series integration is preferred. This substitute maintains identical ingress protection, operating temperature range, and regulatory compliance status. The connector features die-cast aluminum construction and demonstrates equivalent mechanical and environmental performance. Higher inventory availability (1,070 pieces) supports supply chain flexibility. Dimensional variance is minimal, with width and height differences of 0.016" (0.40 mm) and 0.044" (1.10 mm) respectively, which do not impact panel mount installation or functional performance.

Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether the HARTING 09300160301ML can substitute for the LAPP 100720C0?

A: Substitution is based on matching critical functional parameters: panel mount base configuration, bottom entry style, IP65 ingress protection, -40°C to 125°C operating temperature, aluminum housing with powder coat finish, dual locking clip mechanism, and identical regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). Both connectors meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in connector series compatibility?

A: Yes. The LAPP 100720C0 belongs to the EPIC® HB series, while the HARTING 09300160301ML belongs to the Han® B series. These are distinct connector families. Substitution is appropriate only when the application does not require specific series-dependent contact or insert compatibility.

Q: How do the physical dimensions compare?

A: Both connectors share identical length (4.449" / 113.00 mm). The HARTING part is slightly wider (0.016" / 0.40 mm) and taller (0.044" / 1.10 mm). These minor variations do not affect panel mount installation or functional performance in standard applications.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The LAPP 100720C0 has 707 pieces in stock, and the HARTING 09300160301ML has 1,070 pieces in stock. Both are active products.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated for IP65 ingress protection. Both operate across -40°C to 125°C and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8538.90.8180.

Q: What is the housing material difference?

A: The LAPP 100720C0 uses aluminum alloy construction, while the HARTING 09300160301ML uses die-cast aluminum. Both materials provide equivalent structural integrity and environmental protection for panel mount applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability depends on whether the design specifies EPIC® HB or Han® B series contacts and inserts. The base connectors themselves are functionally equivalent for panel mount, bottom entry applications. Contact compatibility must be verified separately based on design requirements.
