243A11600X D-Sub Adapter Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC 243A11600X is a D-Sub adapter connector with HD15 configuration, converting from D-Sub 15 HD Male to D-Sub 15 HD Female in a free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration. This connector saver design incorporates filtering and gold-plated contacts for reliable signal integrity in applications requiring impedance matching and EMI suppression.

The 243A11600X is classified as obsolete. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary for applications where continued supply of the original part cannot be assured and design flexibility permits component replacement with functionally equivalent alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 243A11600X is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Connector Interface Parameters:

• D-Sub 15 HD Male input connector
• D-Sub 15 HD Female output connector
• 3-row configuration

Electrical Specifications:

• 100 V voltage rating
• 3 A current rating
• Gold contact finish for signal integrity

Physical Characteristics:

• Free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration
• Steel shell with tin plating
• Black housing color

Performance & Compliance Features:

• Filter functionality for EMI suppression
• IP20 ingress protection rating
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 and REACH compliance

The substitute part 24-503673 maintains equivalence through functional compatibility across these parameters, enabling direct replacement in circuit applications where the original 243A11600X is no longer obtainable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute Recommendation: Amphenol CONEC 24-503673

The 24-503673 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 243A11600X. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and provide equivalent D-Sub HD15 adapter functionality.

Selection Rationale:

• The 24-503673 carries an Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturability and long-term supply availability, whereas the 243A11600X is classified as Obsolete
• Identical functional description and connector specifications ensure direct compatibility in applications currently using the 243A11600X
• Both parts originate from the same manufacturer, ensuring consistent quality and manufacturing standards
• Adequate inventory availability exists for both parts, supporting procurement timelines

Implementation Consideration: When transitioning from 243A11600X to 24-503673, verify connector pinout configuration and mechanical fit within existing packaging constraints, as detailed specification sheets should be cross-referenced for complete dimensional and electrical parameter confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a substitute part is compatible with the 243A11600X?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching the connector interface specifications (D-Sub 15 HD Male-to-Female configuration), maintaining equivalent electrical ratings (100 V, 3 A), and ensuring the same mounting style (free-hanging in-line). The substitute must provide equivalent filtering and gold-plated contact characteristics.

Q: Why is the 243A11600X classified as obsolete?

A: The 243A11600X has reached end-of-life status in the manufacturer's product portfolio. Although inventory remains available, new production orders cannot be placed. The 24-503673 serves as the current-generation equivalent.

Q: Are there any electrical or mechanical differences between the 243A11600X and 24-503673?

A: Both parts share the same D-Sub HD15 adapter connector specifications and are functionally equivalent for signal and power applications within the specified voltage (100 V) and current (3 A) ratings.

Q: What is the difference between product status classifications?

A: An Active product status indicates the part is currently manufactured and available for new designs and restocking orders. An Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured, though existing inventory may remain available for a limited period.

Q: Can the 24-503673 be used as a direct replacement without design modifications?

A: The 24-503673 provides equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for direct substitution in applications where the 243A11600X is currently deployed. Design review should confirm that pinout assignments and mechanical envelope requirements are satisfied.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why is it relevant?

A: The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 indicates unlimited shelf life and no special moisture-control handling requirements during storage or assembly, simplifying logistics and manufacturing workflows.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: The 243A11600X is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. Compliance status for the 24-503673 should be verified through the manufacturer's current technical documentation to confirm regulatory alignment for specific applications.
