Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol CONEC 24-004103 is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 242A12930X. The primary advantage of this substitution is the transition from obsolete to active product status, ensuring long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and share identical functional specifications for D-Sub 37-position receptacle applications. The 24-004103 maintains the same electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and solder termination method required for direct replacement in existing designs.

The substitute part is suitable for new production designs and field service replacements where the 242A12930X is no longer available. No design modifications are required for implementation of this substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 24-004103 be used as a direct replacement for the 242A12930X in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 37-position D-Sub receptacles with identical mounting configuration (through-hole, right angle), termination method (solder), and electrical ratings. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 242A12930X?

A: The 242A12930X is classified as obsolete. The 24-004103 is the active equivalent part, ensuring ongoing availability for production and field service applications.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these connectors?

A: Both connectors share the same shell size (Size 4, DC/C layout) and mounting configuration. Physical interchangeability is maintained.

Q: What is the current availability status of each part?

A: The 242A12930X has 1,158 pieces in stock but is obsolete. The 24-004103 is active with 948 pieces in stock, providing a sustainable long-term supply source.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 242A12930X is ROHS3 compliant. The 24-004103 is the manufacturer-recommended active substitute and maintains equivalent compliance standards.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both connectors are configured for through-hole, right-angle solder termination with identical position counts and row configuration, supporting footprint compatibility.
