Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol CONEC 243A10080X is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: D-Sub adapter configuration
• Pin count and gender conversion: 37 Pin Male to 37 Pin Female
• Mounting style: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Electrical ratings: Voltage (100 V) and Current (7.5 A)
• Contact finish specification: Gold plating
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 105°C
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part identified is Amphenol CONEC 24-012203, which maintains functional equivalence through alignment with these core parameters. Both parts serve the identical function of D-Sub 37 Pin gender conversion in connector saver applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary functional difference between the 243A10080X and 24-012203?

A: There is no functional difference. Both parts are D-Sub 37 Pin adapter connectors that convert Male connections to Female connections in a free-hanging configuration. The 24-012203 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 243A10080X.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain 100 V voltage rating and 7.5 A current rating specifications, ensuring compatibility in equivalent circuit applications.

Q: Can the 24-012203 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 24-012203 maintains identical connector geometry, pin configuration, mounting style, and electrical specifications as the 243A10080X, enabling direct substitution in existing designs.

Q: What is the significance of the "Connector Saver" designation?

A: The Connector Saver style indicates that this adapter is designed to protect primary connectors from repeated mating cycles by serving as an intermediate connection point, extending the operational life of more expensive or critical connectors.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance for applications requiring these certifications.

Q: Why is the 243A10080X classified as Obsolete?

A: The 243A10080X has been superseded by the 24-012203 in Amphenol CONEC's product portfolio. The newer part number maintains all functional specifications while providing improved availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the 243A10080X and 24-012203 operate across the temperature range of -25°C to 105°C, supporting applications in standard industrial and commercial environments.
