Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Amphenol CONEC 17-300730 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for connector style, duplex configuration, singlemode mode, cable diameter, mounting type, fastening mechanism, housing and boot colors, ingress protection rating, operating temperature range, material composition, and regulatory compliance status.

The Amphenol CONEC 17-300410 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• LC connector style with duplex configuration
• Singlemode fiber optic transmission mode
• 8.0 mm cable diameter accommodation
• Free-hanging, in-line mounting orientation
• Bayonet lock fastening mechanism
• Blue housing with black boot
• IP67 ingress protection rating
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
• Identical material specifications (Zinc Die Cast Nickel Plated housing, Brass Nickel Plated ferrule, PEI body)
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction is product status: 17-300410 is active and currently in production, whereas 17-300730 is obsolete.
