Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of D-Sub high-density connectors is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish whether a substitute part is functionally equivalent to the 241A16640X:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector category: D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors
• Connector style: High Density configuration
• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Position count: 44 positions
• Row configuration: 3-row layout
• Shell size and layout: Size 3 (DB, B) high density
• Mounting method: Through-hole capability
• Termination method: Solder termination
• Current rating: 3A minimum
• Voltage rating: 100V minimum
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 85°C minimum
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Flange configuration: Board-side mounting with 4-40 fastener holes

The substitute part 24-011003 from Amphenol CONEC is identified as a manufacturer-recommended alternative. This part maintains the same connector category, D-Sub high-density classification, and solder termination method as the original 241A16640X. The substitute is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 241A16640X is classified as obsolete, indicating that Amphenol CONEC has discontinued active manufacturing and support for this part number. The substitute part 24-011003 carries an active product status, confirming current manufacturing availability and ongoing technical support from the manufacturer.

Compliance and Certification: Both the original 241A16640X and substitute 24-011003 are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and fall within the D-Sub, D-Shaped Connector category with solder termination. The original part carries UL94 V-0 material flammability certification. Selection between the original and substitute should be based on design requirements, inventory availability, and long-term supply chain considerations.

Inventory Availability: Current stock of the original 241A16640X is 1099 pieces. The substitute 24-011003 maintains 911 pieces in inventory. For applications requiring immediate component procurement or long-term production support, the active status of the substitute part provides greater assurance of continued availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a valid substitute for the 241A16640X D-Sub connector?

A: A valid substitute must maintain the same D-Sub high-density connector category, 44-position configuration with 3-row layout, plug connector type with male pins, through-hole mounting capability, solder termination method, and electrical ratings (3A current, 100V voltage). The substitute must support the operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and maintain gold-plated contact finish specifications.

Q: Why is the 241A16640X classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete classification indicates that Amphenol CONEC has discontinued active manufacturing of this part number. This typically occurs when product lines are consolidated, designs are updated, or market demand shifts to newer connector configurations. Obsolete status does not affect the performance or reliability of existing inventory.

Q: Is the 24-011003 substitute fully compatible with the 241A16640X?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC within the D-Sub, D-Shaped Connector category with solder termination. Compatibility is established through matching connector style, connector type, and termination method. Design verification should confirm that all electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the original and substitute part numbers?

A: The 241A16640X is an obsolete part number, while 24-011003 is an active part number from the same manufacturer. The active status of 24-011003 ensures ongoing manufacturing support, technical documentation availability, and supply chain continuity.

Q: How should I select between using remaining 241A16640X inventory and transitioning to 24-011003?

A: Selection depends on production timeline, inventory depletion rate, and long-term supply requirements. For immediate production needs, existing 241A16640X inventory (1099 pieces) may be utilized. For ongoing or future production, the active status of 24-011003 provides assurance of continued component availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any packaging or form factor differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are D-Sub high-density connectors with solder termination. Packaging information for both parts is not specified in the available technical data. Detailed packaging specifications should be obtained from Amphenol CONEC technical documentation for specific application requirements.
