Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol CONEC 243A10040X is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent across equivalent components:

Functional Parameters:

• Connector type conversion: D-Sub 37-pin male to D-Sub 37-pin female
• Connector style: Connector saver (adapter configuration)
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Pin count and row configuration: 37 pins, 2 rows

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 100 V minimum
• Current rating: 7.5 A minimum
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Contact finish thickness: 8.00µin (0.203µm)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 105°C
• Ingress protection: IP20 minimum
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 compliant
• REACH status: REACH unaffected

Physical Parameters:

• Shell material and finish: Steel with tin plating
• Housing color: Black
• Features: Integrated filter

The substitute part must satisfy all functional, electrical, environmental, and compliance parameters to ensure direct compatibility and performance equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol CONEC 24-012183 serves as the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete 243A10040X. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and perform identical functional conversions between D-Sub 37-pin male and female connectors in a connector saver adapter configuration.

Selection Basis:

The 24-012183 is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The obsolete status of the 243A10040X necessitates transition to the active equivalent for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Both parts maintain compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, supporting regulatory obligations in current manufacturing environments. The connector saver design in both parts provides equivalent protection against connector wear through repeated mating cycles.

For applications currently utilizing the 243A10040X, direct substitution with the 24-012183 is supported based on identical functional specifications and manufacturer lineage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 24-012183 directly replace the 243A10040X in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components perform identical D-Sub 37-pin male-to-female adapter functions with matching connector saver configurations and free-hanging mounting types. The 24-012183 is the active equivalent manufactured by the same supplier.

Q: Why is the 243A10040X classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects the manufacturer's discontinuation of this part number. The 24-012183 represents the current active offering for this adapter function.

Q: Are there electrical or environmental differences between these parts?

A: The provided specifications confirm both parts share identical functional and electrical parameters, including voltage rating, current rating, operating temperature range, and contact finish specifications.

Q: What is the connector saver design feature?

A: The connector saver design protects the mating connectors on both ends of the cable assembly by concentrating wear on the adapter rather than on the primary connectors, extending overall system lifespan.

Q: Is the 24-012183 available in the same packaging configuration?

A: Both parts are supplied with identical connector configurations: one adapter connector and two jack screws included per unit.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 24-012183 maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, consistent with the original part specifications.
