Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 243A11640X with the Amphenol CONEC 24-012273 is based on functional equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Connector Category: Both are D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors
• Adapter Function: Both convert between D-Sub 15 HD male and female configurations
• Mounting Style: Both employ free hanging (in-line) design
• Contact Configuration: Both maintain 3-row, 15-position HD pin layout
• Electrical Specifications: Voltage and current ratings remain within equivalent operational ranges
• Environmental Compliance: Both meet RoHS3 and REACH requirements for regulatory compliance

The substitute part 24-012273 remains in active production status, ensuring continued availability and support compared to the obsolete 243A11640X. Selection between these parts depends on inventory availability, procurement lead times, and any application-specific requirements tied to the original manufacturer specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The original part number 243A11640X carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The substitute part 24-012273 maintains active production status, providing assurance of continued supply and manufacturer technical support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements, meeting current environmental and material restriction standards applicable to D-Sub connector assemblies.

Substitution Viability: The 24-012273 serves as a functional equivalent where D-Sub 15 HD male-to-female adapter functionality is required. Selection of this substitute eliminates procurement risks associated with obsolete component sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified operational parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes these parts functionally equivalent? Both the 243A11640X and 24-012273 are D-Sub 15 HD adapter connectors that convert between male and female D-Sub 15 HD configurations using free hanging (in-line) mounting. Both meet the same electrical ratings (100 V, 3 A) and environmental compliance standards.

Q: Can I substitute the 24-012273 for the 243A11640X in existing designs? Yes. The substitute part maintains functional equivalence for D-Sub 15 HD adapter applications. Verify that your application does not specify undetailed characteristics unique to the original part number, such as specific mechanical mounting requirements not covered in the provided parameters.

Q: Why should I choose the 24-012273 over remaining inventory of the 243A11640X? The 24-012273 holds active product status with confirmed manufacturing support, while the 243A11640X is obsolete. For long-term projects or high-volume needs, the active substitute part provides supply chain assurance and consistent availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? Packaging information is not specified for the 24-012273. Contact the manufacturer for detailed packaging specifications if packaging compatibility is critical to your application or assembly process.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these adapters? The operating temperature range is -25°C to 85°C. This specification applies to both the original and substitute parts and determines suitability for your intended environmental conditions.
