Amphenol CONEC 243A12230X D-Sub Adapter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC 243A12230X is a D-Sub adapter connector that converts between a 37-pin male D-Sub connector and a 37-pin female D-Sub connector. This connector saver adapter is designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications and includes integrated filtering with a tin-plated steel shell and gold-plated contacts.

The 243A12230X is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new production applications where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol CONEC 243A12230X is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters:

• D-Sub connector type with 37-pin configuration
• Female-to-male adapter conversion function
• Free-hanging (in-line) mounting orientation

Electrical Parameters:

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

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C
• IP20 ingress protection classification
• ROHS3 compliance
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Physical Parameters:

• Steel shell with tin plating
• 2-row pin arrangement
• Connector saver design with integrated filter

The substitute part must maintain compatibility across all these parameters to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 243A12230X is classified as obsolete, while the substitute part 24-012153 maintains active product status with Amphenol CONEC. Active status indicates ongoing manufacturer support, availability assurance, and compliance maintenance.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC and fall within the D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors category. The substitute part 24-012153 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent, indicating full functional and electrical compatibility.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part 24-012153 is currently available with 1151 pieces in stock, providing supply continuity for applications requiring this adapter connector type.

Selection Basis: Selection of the 24-012153 as a substitute for the obsolete 243A12230X is supported by manufacturer recommendation, active product status, and confirmed inventory availability. Both parts serve identical functional roles as D-Sub adapter connectors with 37-pin female-to-male conversion in free-hanging configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the functional difference between the 243A12230X and the 24-012153?

A: Both parts are D-Sub adapter connectors that convert between 37-pin male and 37-pin female D-Sub connectors in free-hanging (in-line) mounting configurations. They are functionally equivalent for adapter applications.

Q: Why is the 243A12230X classified as obsolete?

A: The 243A12230X has reached end-of-life status with the manufacturer. The 24-012153 is the active equivalent part that replaces it in the product line.

Q: Can the 24-012153 be used as a direct replacement for the 243A12230X?
