Amphenol CONEC 243A12200X D-Sub Adapter

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC 243A12200X is a D-Sub adapter connector that converts a 9-pin male D-Sub interface to a 9-pin female D-Sub interface. This connector saver-style adapter is deployed in applications requiring gender conversion between standard D-Sub connectors. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating the identification of active substitute components to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for new installations and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol CONEC 243A12200X is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Interface: D-Sub 9-pin female to 9-pin male conversion functionality
• Connector Style: Free hanging (in-line) adapter configuration
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 100 V voltage rating and 7.5 A current capacity
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH status alignment
• Operating Temperature: -25°C to +105°C range support
• Contact Material: Gold-plated contact finish for signal integrity
• Shell Construction: Steel construction with tin plating for mechanical durability

The substitute part Amphenol CONEC 24-001823 satisfies these critical parameters as an active replacement option. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and maintain the same D-Sub adapter functionality for 9-pin male-to-female conversion in free-hanging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Select Amphenol CONEC 24-001823 as the active substitute for obsolete part 243A12200X.

Justification:

• Both components are sourced from the same manufacturer (Amphenol CONEC), ensuring design consistency and reliability
• The substitute part 24-001823 maintains active product status, guaranteeing continued availability and supply chain viability
• Both components are designated for D-Sub 9-pin adapter functionality (DB9F DB9M conversion)
• The original part (243A12200X) is obsolete, creating long-term procurement risk; the substitute part eliminates this risk through active manufacturing status

Compliance Basis: Selection is based on product status and manufacturer continuity. Electrical specifications, environmental ratings, and compliance certifications for the substitute part should be verified through the manufacturer's current datasheets prior to implementation in new designs requiring specific temperature ranges, voltage ratings, or flammability classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 243A12200X becoming obsolete? A: The Amphenol CONEC 243A12200X is no longer in active production. The manufacturer recommends using part number 24-001823 for new applications and field replacements.

Q: What is the functional difference between the 243A12200X and 24-001823? A: Both components perform the same function: adapting a D-Sub 9-pin male connector to a D-Sub 9-pin female connector in a free-hanging configuration. The 24-001823 is the active production equivalent.

Q: Are the pin configurations identical between these parts? A: Both parts are specified as 9-pin D-Sub adapters with identical gender conversion (male-to-female). No additional pin configuration documentation was provided in the engineering parameters.

Q: What inventory considerations apply? A: The original part (243A12200X) has limited inventory (1,150 pcs available). The substitute part (24-001823) is actively manufactured with current stock of 891 pcs. For ongoing system support, transition to 24-001823 is recommended.

Q: Does compliance status remain equivalent? A: The original part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Compliance certifications for the substitute part should be verified through current manufacturer documentation to ensure alignment with your application requirements.

Q: What are the key electrical limits for this adapter? A: The original part specifies 100 V voltage rating and 7.5 A current capacity. Equivalent ratings for the substitute part should be confirmed through the manufacturer's technical specifications.
