Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for D-Sub jackscrew assemblies is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Thread size (must match: 4-40)
• Accessory type (must match: Jackscrew, Slotted)
• Application compatibility (must be for D-Sub connectors)
• Retention feature (must include clip)

The substitute part 160-000-001R031 meets all functional substitution criteria. Both parts share identical thread specifications, accessory classification, and intended application. The primary differences are in plating material (chrome versus nickel), physical dimensions, and product status (obsolete versus active).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 160-000-001R031 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 160-000-001-041. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 160-000-001R031 is classified as active, ensuring continued availability and support, whereas the 160-000-001-041 is obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: The 160-000-001R031 meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The original part is RoHS non-compliant.

Dimensional Variance: The substitute part exhibits slightly longer dimensions in both threaded and overall length measurements. Verification of mechanical fit within the target D-Sub connector assembly is necessary prior to production implementation.

Material Specification: The nickel plating on the substitute part provides equivalent corrosion resistance to the chrome plating of the original part in standard operating environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 160-000-001R031 be used as a direct replacement for 160-000-001-041?

A: Yes, both parts share identical thread size (4-40), accessory type (slotted jackscrew), and retention features (clip). The substitute is functionally compatible for D-Sub connector applications. Dimensional differences are minor and typically do not affect assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the dimension differences between these parts?

A: The 160-000-001R031 has a threaded portion 0.011" longer and an overall length 0.045" longer than the 160-000-001-041. These differences should be evaluated within the specific D-Sub connector housing design to ensure proper fit and function.

Q: Does the change from chrome to nickel plating affect performance?

A: Both chrome and nickel plating provide adequate corrosion resistance for standard D-Sub connector applications. The nickel plating on the substitute part is functionally equivalent in typical operating environments.

Q: Why should I select the active part over the obsolete part?

A: The 160-000-001R031 is actively manufactured and stocked, ensuring long-term availability. The 160-000-001-041 is obsolete and will eventually become unavailable. Additionally, the substitute meets current RoHS3 compliance standards.

Q: Are there any packaging differences I should consider?

A: The 160-000-001R031 is supplied in box packaging with higher inventory availability (2075 pcs versus 860 pcs). This may provide advantages for procurement and logistics planning.
