Amphenol CONEC 241A10080X D-Sub 37-Position Plug Connector

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC 241A10080X is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector with male pins, designed for through-hole solder termination. This connector features a vertical orientation, steel shell with tin plating, and gold-plated contacts. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and legacy equipment support. The connector is rated for 7.5A at 100V and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 105°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 241A10080X is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type and Position Count: Substitute parts must be D-Sub plugs with 37 positions and male pins to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating receptacles.
• Shell Size and Configuration: Shell size 4 (DC, C) with 2-row configuration is mandatory for proper fit and pin alignment.
• Termination Method: Solder termination is required to match the through-hole assembly process of the original design.
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 7.5A and voltage rating of 100V establish the minimum performance threshold.
• Contact and Shell Materials: Gold-plated contacts and tin-plated steel shell ensure equivalent signal integrity and corrosion resistance.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C must be maintained.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: manufacturer-recommended equivalents from Amphenol CONEC and functionally compatible alternatives from other qualified manufacturers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol CONEC 24-003183: This part is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent from Amphenol CONEC. As an active product from the original equipment manufacturer, it provides the highest assurance of form, fit, and function compatibility. The 24-003183 is the preferred selection for applications requiring direct replacement of the obsolete 241A10080X, particularly where supply chain continuity and manufacturer support are critical factors.

JAE Electronics DC-37PF-T-N: This alternative provides a 37-position D-Sub plug connector with solder termination from a qualified alternative manufacturer. The DC-37PF-T-N is specified as panel mount, which differs from the through-hole mounting of the original part. This substitution is applicable only in applications where panel mounting is compatible with the existing mechanical design. Verification of mounting compatibility with the circuit board layout is required before selection.

For new designs and applications where the original 241A10080X is no longer available, the Amphenol CONEC 24-003183 is the primary selection. The JAE Electronics DC-37PF-T-N serves as a secondary option when mounting configuration differences are acceptable to the system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 24-003183 directly replace the 241A10080X in existing assemblies?

A: The 24-003183 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent and is designed for direct replacement. Both parts are 37-position D-Sub plugs with solder termination from Amphenol CONEC. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is assured for applications using the original connector.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 241A10080X and the DC-37PF-T-N?

A: The DC-37PF-T-N is specified as panel mount, whereas the 241A10080X is through-hole mounted. This mounting type difference affects how the connector is installed on the circuit board. Panel mount connectors are secured to the board edge, while through-hole connectors are soldered through the board. Mounting compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: Are all three connectors electrically equivalent?

A: All three connectors are 37-position D-Sub plugs with male pins and solder termination, providing electrical compatibility at the connector interface level. However, the 241A10080X specifies 7.5A current rating and 100V voltage rating. Equivalent electrical performance for the substitute parts is not explicitly documented in the provided specifications. Electrical ratings should be confirmed with the manufacturer before selection for applications with specific power requirements.

Q: Why is the 241A10080X classified as obsolete?

A: The 241A10080X is an older connector design from the 241A series. Amphenol CONEC has transitioned to newer product lines, with the 24-003183 representing the current active equivalent. Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production, making substitution necessary for ongoing support of legacy equipment.

Q: Can the DC-37PF-T-N be used in applications originally designed for through-hole mounting?

A: The DC-37PF-T-N panel mount configuration is mechanically different from through-hole mounting. Direct substitution in through-hole applications is not possible without circuit board redesign. The panel mount design requires the connector to be mounted on the board edge rather than through the board surface. Mechanical compatibility assessment is mandatory before considering this substitution.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these connectors?

A: The 241A10080X is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance status for the substitute parts is not specified in the provided documentation. Compliance verification should be obtained from the respective manufacturers before final selection for regulated applications.
