Amphenol CONEC 243A10120X D-Sub Adapter Connector

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC model 243A10120X is a D-Sub adapter connector that converts between D-Sub 37-pin female and D-Sub 37-pin male configurations. This connector saver style adapter operates in a free-hanging (in-line) configuration and is designed for applications requiring gender conversion in D-Sub connector installations.

The 243A10120X carries an obsolete product status. Identifying suitable substitute components is essential for ongoing system support and procurement continuity when original inventory becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 243A10120X requires verification of identical functional specifications and electrical characteristics. The critical parameters that determine substitutability are:

• Connector type and pin configuration: D-Sub, 37-pin adapter
• Gender conversion: Female to Male
• Connector style: Connector Saver
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Electrical ratings: 100 V voltage, 7.5 A current
• Contact material and finish: Gold plated contacts
• Shell construction: Steel with tin plate finish
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 105°C
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3, UL94 V-0

The identified substitute part (Amphenol CONEC 24-012193) maintains functional equivalence as a D-Sub 37-pin female to male adapter connector in the same category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol CONEC 24-012193 represents the recommended substitute for the obsolete 243A10120X model. The substitute maintains D-Sub 37-pin adapter functionality with matching electrical and connector specifications.

The 24-012193 carries active product status, ensuring availability for current and future procurement. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and provide equivalent D-Sub adapter capability for converting between 37-pin female and male connector configurations.

Selection should be based on product availability, current compliance requirements, and application-specific environmental conditions within the specified -25°C to 105°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary functional difference between the main part and the substitute? A: Both the 243A10120X and 24-012193 serve the same function as D-Sub 37-pin female to male adapter connectors. The primary difference is product status: the original model is obsolete while the substitute is active.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between the parts? A: Both parts share equivalent electrical specifications for D-Sub 37-pin adapter applications. The voltage rating of 100 V and current rating of 7.5 A are the applicable design parameters for this connector category.

Q: What mounting configuration do these adapters use? A: The 243A10120X employs free-hanging (in-line) mounting, which allows the adapter to extend connections without requiring panel or chassis mounting. The 24-012193 is specified as a D-Sub adapter connector in the same functional configuration.

Q: Are these adapters suitable for high-temperature applications? A: The operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C accommodates most industrial and commercial applications. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector solutions.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts? A: The 243A10120X meets ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, carries MSL1 moisture sensitivity, and is REACH unaffected. Compliance verification for the 24-012193 should be confirmed based on application requirements.
