Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 200ARS7 NC032 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug with female sockets
• Number of positions: 4
• Shell size: M12-4
• Termination method: Screw
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Orientation: Keyed
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Ingress protection rating: IP67
• Voltage rating: 250V minimum
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 90°C minimum
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Features: Backshell and coupling nut

The substitute part 1200710035 (Molex Brad Micro-Change 120071 series) meets all mandatory parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring the 200ARS7 NC032.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1200710035 (Molex) serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 200ARS7 NC032. Both connectors satisfy identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The Molex part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial applications. The Molex substitute provides enhanced voltage rating specifications (250VAC, 300VDC versus 250V) and documented current rating (4A), offering additional performance margin in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1200710035 directly replace the 200ARS7 NC032 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (M12-4), position count (4), termination method (screw), fastening type (threaded), keyed orientation, and IP67 ingress protection rating. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Alpha Wire versus Molex), shell material (stainless steel versus brass with nickel finish), backshell material (PBT versus PA/nylon), and contact finish (zinc versus silver). The 1200710035 provides specified current rating (4A) and expanded voltage rating (250VAC, 300VDC). The 200ARS7 NC032 is obsolete; the 1200710035 maintains active product status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 200ARS7 NC032 is supplied in standard packaging; the 1200710035 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are available in new original condition.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial component applications.

Q: What is the significance of the shell material difference?

A: The 200ARS7 NC032 uses stainless steel; the 1200710035 uses brass with nickel finish. Both materials provide corrosion resistance suitable for industrial environments. The choice between them depends on specific environmental exposure and mechanical durability requirements of the application.
