Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol CONEC 243A12260X is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters:

  • Adapter conversion configuration: D-Sub 25-pin male to D-Sub 25-pin female
  • Connector style: Connector saver
  • Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
  • Number of rows: 2

Electrical Parameters:

  • Voltage rating: 100 V
  • Current rating: 7.5 A
  • Contact finish: Gold

Physical Parameters:

  • Shell material and finish: Steel, tin plated
  • Ingress protection: IP20
  • Housing color: Silver

Compliance Parameters:

  • Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
