Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 241A16670X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Must be 26-position D-Sub, high density format with identical shell size (2 DA/A) and 3-row arrangement
• Gender and Pin Type: Must be male pins in plug configuration
• Mounting and Termination: Must support through-hole mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: Current rating (3A) and voltage rating (100V) must be maintained or exceeded
• Contact and Shell Materials: Gold-plated contacts and tin-plated steel shell ensure identical signal integrity and environmental protection
• Compliance Requirements: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and IP20 ingress protection rating

The substitute part 24-010993 from Amphenol CONEC satisfies all parameters specified for the obsolete 241A16670X, providing functional and mechanical interchangeability with active supply status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 241A16670X is classified as obsolete and has limited long-term availability. The substitute part 24-010993 is recommended for new designs and ongoing production requirements due to its active product status and current availability (1135 pcs in stock versus 904 pcs for the original).

Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and compliance certifications. The substitute provides equivalent performance across all specified parameters while ensuring continued supply chain access.

For existing designs utilizing the 241A16670X, substitution with 24-010993 requires validation only of mechanical mounting clearances and PCB layout compatibility; no electrical redesign is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the 24-010993 a direct drop-in replacement for the 241A16670X? A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pinout, shell size (2 DA/A high density), mounting type (through-hole), and electrical ratings (3A, 100V). Substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible without circuit redesign.

Q: What determines compatibility between D-Sub high density connectors? A: Compatibility is determined by position count (26), row arrangement (3 rows), shell size designator (2 DA/A), gender (male plug), contact finish (gold), and electrical ratings (3A, 100V, 100V maximum). Deviation in any of these parameters requires engineering evaluation.

Q: Why is the original 241A16670X classified as obsolete? A: Obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The active substitute 24-010993 ensures design continuity and supply availability. Amphenol CONEC maintains both parts within the same product family, confirming functional equivalence.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and IP20 ingress protection. Compliance certifications are identical.

Q: What solder termination specifications apply to both connectors? A: Both connectors use standard D-Sub solder termination on through-hole mounting pins. Standard PCB assembly processes and temperature profiles apply without modification.
