LAPP 101170 Hood Connector Top Entry PG29 HB24 IP65 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LAPP 101170 is a heavy duty hood connector accessory designed for top entry applications with PG29 thread size and HB24 form factor. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection, making it suitable for dust-tight and water-resistant installations in industrial environments. The part is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and system compatibility for maintenance and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LAPP 101170 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Size: HB24
• Thread Size: PG29
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP65
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Series designation (EPIC® HB vs. EPIC® H-B)
• Overall length dimension (within mechanical envelope constraints)
• Maximum operating temperature (substitute may have lower upper limit)
• Product status (Active status preferred over Last Time Buy)
• Inventory availability

The substitute part 10117000 maintains all mandatory matching parameters while offering Active product status and improved availability, making it a direct functional equivalent despite minor dimensional and temperature rating differences.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LAPP 10117000

The LAPP 10117000 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the LAPP 101170 for applications requiring a PG29 threaded hood connector with HB24 form factor and IP65 ingress protection. Both parts are manufactured from identical materials (aluminum alloy with powder coat finish) and maintain equivalent mechanical and environmental protection specifications.

Status Consideration: The substitute part 10117000 holds Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and long-term availability. The main part 101170 is designated Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate for new designs and long-term system maintenance planning.

Temperature Rating Differential: The substitute part operates to a maximum of 100°C compared to the main part's 125°C upper limit. This 25°C reduction is acceptable for applications where the connector operates within the 100°C threshold. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C must retain the original part number 101170 or identify alternative solutions.

Dimensional Compatibility: The substitute part exhibits a 1.051" (26.70mm) increase in length dimension. Mechanical envelope constraints must be evaluated to confirm this dimensional change does not conflict with installation space requirements or adjacent component placement.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory and trade compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LAPP 10117000 be used as a direct replacement for LAPP 101170 in existing installations?

A: Yes, provided the installation environment does not require sustained connector operation above 100°C and the increased length dimension (120.00mm vs. 93.30mm) does not conflict with mechanical space constraints. Both parts maintain identical connector type, entry style, thread size, and IP65 protection rating.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from EPIC® HB to EPIC® H-B?

A: The series designation change reflects LAPP's product line evolution. Both designations refer to the same EPIC heavy duty connector family. The functional and mechanical specifications remain equivalent for the specified form factors and thread sizes.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with existing mating connectors?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both the main part and substitute maintain identical PG29 thread size, HB24 form factor, and locking clip configuration. Existing mating connectors designed for LAPP 101170 will function identically with LAPP 10117000.

Q: What should be considered when selecting between these two parts for new system designs?

A: For new designs, LAPP 10117000 is the preferred selection due to its Active product status and assured long-term availability. The main part 101170 should be selected only when the application specifically requires the extended 125°C operating temperature capability.

Q: How do the inventory levels affect part selection?

A: Both parts maintain adequate stock levels (1079 units for 101170 and 928 units for 10117000). Inventory availability should not be the primary selection criterion. Product status and application requirements should drive the selection decision.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. Both parts are connector accessories (hoods) without active electrical components. Performance is determined by the mating connector contacts and internal wiring, not the hood accessory itself.
