Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3-2271124-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series designation (M12)
• Number of positions (4)
• Shell size - insert (M12-4)
• Termination method (Screw)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Orientation (B)
• Current rating (4A)
• Voltage rating (250V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)

The substitute part T4113401041-000 satisfies these parameters with the following distinction: it functions as a receptacle connector with male pins rather than a plug configuration. This represents a mating pair relationship within the M12 circular connector family, enabling system-level compatibility through proper connector pairing in applications requiring both plug and receptacle interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part T4113401041-000 is classified as active product status, providing continued availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete 3-2271124-1. The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for new system designs and procurement cycles.

Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications within the M12 series, including current capacity, voltage rating, temperature operating range, and IP67 environmental protection. The gold contact finish on mating surfaces ensures consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across both components.

Selection of T4113401041-000 for new applications or replacement inventory is supported by its active product status and regulatory compliance posture. The receptacle configuration of the substitute enables proper mating pair functionality when paired with plug-type connectors in system-level implementations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the T4113401041-000 receptacle directly replace the 3-2271124-1 plug in existing applications?

A: No. The T4113401041-000 is a receptacle connector, while the 3-2271124-1 is a plug connector. These components function as mating pairs within the M12 circular connector system. Direct replacement requires the complementary connector type. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters within the M12-4 specification.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility for M12 circular connectors?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: series designation (M12), position count (4), shell size (M12-4), termination method (screw), fastening type (threaded), orientation (B), current rating (4A), voltage rating (250V minimum), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), ingress protection (IP67), and contact finish (gold).

Q: Why is the 3-2271124-1 classified as obsolete?

A: The 3-2271124-1 is designated obsolete by the manufacturer. The active substitute T4113401041-000 provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The 3-2271124-1 is supplied in standard packaging, while the T4113401041-000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical connector specifications and performance characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the gold contact finish on both connectors?

A: The gold plating on mating contact surfaces provides corrosion resistance and ensures reliable electrical conductivity across the operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and environmental conditions (IP67 rating). This finish is consistent across both the main part and substitute.

Q: Can these M12 connectors be used interchangeably in automotive and industrial applications?

A: Both connectors are rated for automotive and industrial applications with identical electrical specifications (4A at 250VAC/DC) and environmental protection (IP67). Application compatibility depends on the specific connector type required (plug versus receptacle) within the system architecture.
