243A10140X D-Sub 50 Pin Adapter Connector

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC 243A10140X is a D-Sub adapter connector that converts between a 50-pin male D-Sub connector and a 50-pin female D-Sub connector. This connector saver adapter is designed for free-hanging (in-line) installation and includes integrated filtration. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating the identification of active substitute components for continued procurement and deployment in applications requiring compatible D-Sub adapter functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the 243A10140X is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 100 V minimum
• Current rating: 7.5 A minimum
• Contact finish: Gold plating to ensure signal integrity and corrosion resistance

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector type: D-Sub adapter configuration
• Pin count: 50-pin configuration
• Orientation: Female-to-Male conversion (D-Sub 50 Pin Female to D-Sub 50 Pin Male)
• Mounting style: Free hanging (in-line) installation
• Features: Integrated filter capability
• Shell material: Steel with tin plating for durability
• Number of rows: 3-row configuration

Compliance & Environmental Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 105°C
• Ingress protection: IP20 minimum

The substitute part 24-004293 meets these critical parameters and maintains functional equivalence as an active Amphenol CONEC product.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol CONEC 24-004293 is the recommended active substitute for the obsolete 243A10140X. The primary advantage of selecting 24-004293 is its active product status, ensuring long-term procurement availability and manufacturer support. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and share identical functional specifications for D-Sub 50-pin adapter applications.

The transition from 243A10140X to 24-004293 is supported by equivalent electrical performance, RoHS3 compliance, and identical connector architecture. Both components maintain the same operating temperature range, voltage and current ratings, and connector configuration necessary for direct substitution in applications requiring D-Sub 50-pin female-to-male adapter functionality with integrated filtration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 243A10140X no longer recommended? A: The 243A10140X has been classified as an obsolete product. The 24-004293 is the active equivalent that provides the same functional capability with ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability.

Q: Can the 24-004293 be used as a direct replacement for the 243A10140X? A: Yes. Both parts are Amphenol CONEC D-Sub 50-pin adapter connectors with identical connector styles, pin configurations, and rated electrical specifications. No circuit or mechanical modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there differences in compliance between these parts? A: Both the 243A10140X and 24-004293 maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications in restricted substance environments.

Q: What is the significance of the "Connector Saver" style? A: Connector saver adapters extend the operational life of primary connectors by providing a sacrificial interface point. The free-hanging (in-line) configuration allows the adapter to be inserted and removed from mated connectors without subjecting the primary connector contacts to repeated mechanical stress.

Q: Does the integrated filter affect substitution considerations? A: The filter feature is integral to both the 243A10140X and 24-004293 specifications. No modification or additional filtering components are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What are the procurement implications of transitioning to the substitute part? A: The 24-004293 maintains active production status with inventory availability of 696 units. Procurement planning should transition new designs and restocking orders to the 24-004293 to maintain supply chain continuity.
