Amphenol CONEC 164C17229X-S2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC 164C17229X-S2 is a 44-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for through-hole solder termination applications. This connector features a board-side flange with 4-40 mounting holes and operates across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary component becomes unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative connector configurations, such as panel-mount capabilities or enhanced current ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 164C17229X-S2 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style: D-Sub, High Density
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 44
• Number of rows: 3
• Shell size and layout: 3 (DB, B) High Density
• Contact type: Signal
• Termination method: Solder
• Flange feature: Board Side (4-40)

Allowable Variations:

• Mounting type may include panel mount in addition to through-hole
• Shell material finish may differ (tin plated vs. nickel plated)
• Contact finish thickness may vary (standard vs. flash)
• Operating temperature range may differ within industrial specifications
• Current rating may exceed the primary part specification
• Dielectric material composition may vary
• Contact material composition may differ

The substitute parts NorComp Inc. 180-044-213R911 and 180-M44-213R021 maintain all core compatibility parameters while offering alternative mounting configurations and enhanced electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 164C17229X-S2 (Amphenol CONEC)

Use this part when through-hole mounting is the sole requirement and tin-plated shell finish is specified. This connector maintains the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Substitute Part: 180-M44-213R021 (NorComp Inc.)

This part provides the closest functional equivalence to the primary component. It maintains identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), supports both panel-mount and through-hole configurations, and offers enhanced current rating (5A). The part is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Select this substitute when panel-mount capability is beneficial or when higher current capacity is required.

Substitute Part: 180-044-213R911 (NorComp Inc.)

This part offers panel-mount and through-hole mounting flexibility with additional mating-side female screwlock features. Operating temperature range is -50°C to 100°C, which is narrower than the primary part. Current rating is 3A. This connector includes board lock and shielding features. Select this substitute when panel-mount configuration is essential and the reduced temperature range is acceptable for the application.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the primary component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 180-M44-213R021 directly replace the Amphenol 164C17229X-S2 in a through-hole application?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core specifications: 44-position D-Sub high-density receptacle with female sockets, 3-row configuration, solder termination, and board-side 4-40 flange. The NorComp part adds panel-mount capability without compromising through-hole compatibility. Operating temperature ranges are identical (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: What is the primary difference between the two NorComp substitute parts?

A: The 180-044-213R911 includes mating-side female screwlock features and board lock functionality, with a 3A current rating and -50°C to 100°C operating range. The 180-M44-213R021 offers a 5A current rating and maintains the full -55°C to 125°C operating range without screwlock features. Select based on required current capacity and temperature operating envelope.

Q: Are all three connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Amphenol 164C17229X-S2 and both NorComp substitutes (180-044-213R911 and 180-M44-213R021) are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: Does shell material finish affect connector performance?

A: Shell material finish differs between parts: the primary Amphenol connector uses tin plating, while both NorComp substitutes use nickel plating. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for standard industrial environments. Selection should align with existing assembly specifications and environmental requirements.

Q: Can the 180-044-213R911 operate across the full temperature range of the primary part?

A: No. The 180-044-213R911 operates from -50°C to 100°C, which is narrower than the primary part's -55°C to 125°C range. Use this substitute only when the application does not require operation below -50°C or above 100°C.

Q: What mounting configurations are supported by each connector?

A: The Amphenol 164C17229X-S2 supports through-hole mounting only. Both NorComp substitutes (180-044-213R911 and 180-M44-213R021) support both panel-mount and through-hole configurations, providing greater design flexibility.

Q: Are contact materials identical across all three connectors?

A: No. The primary Amphenol part does not specify contact material. The NorComp 180-044-213R911 uses brass contacts, while the 180-M44-213R021 uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for signal-level applications with gold plating.
