Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol CONEC 242A10170X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Architecture Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E)

Electrical Performance Parameters:

• Current rating: 7.5A
• Voltage rating: 100V
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Contact finish: Gold with flash thickness

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Flange feature: Board side (4-40)
• Shell material and finish: Steel, tin plated
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 105°C
• Ingress protection: IP20

Regulatory and Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level)

Substitute parts must maintain equivalence across all listed parameters. The transition from obsolete to active product status does not alter the electrical or mechanical substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol CONEC 24-003213 is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete 242A10170X. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and maintain identical connector architecture, electrical ratings, and mechanical specifications. The 24-003213 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (914 pieces in stock), whereas the 242A10170X is classified as obsolete with limited remaining stock (1088 pieces).

For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 24-003213 should be specified. For existing systems currently utilizing the 242A10170X, the 24-003213 provides direct functional equivalence without design modification. Both parts comply with ROHS3 and maintain REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment across product transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 24-003213 be used as a direct replacement for the 242A10170X in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 9-position D-Sub receptacles with identical electrical ratings (7.5A, 100V), mechanical mounting specifications (through-hole solder termination), and environmental operating parameters (-25°C ~ 105°C). The 24-003213 is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 242A10170X is classified as obsolete. The 24-003213 is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued component availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any differences in connector layout or pin configuration?

A: Both parts maintain the same shell size (1, DE/E configuration) and 9-position, 2-row layout. No PCB redesign or connector interface modification is required.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 242A10170X and 24-003213 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (unlimited) for both parts.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: The 242A10170X has 1088 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The 24-003213 has 914 pieces in stock (active status). For new procurement, the 24-003213 should be specified.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature copper alloy contacts with gold flash finish, 7.5A current rating, 100V voltage rating, and IP20 ingress protection. Operating temperature range is -25°C ~ 105°C for both parts.
