Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 43-00093 is determined by critical electrical and mechanical parameters that ensure functional compatibility within the assembly:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector Type: Plug, Female Sockets (identical)
• Number of Positions: 5 (fixed requirement)
• Shell Size - Insert: M12-5 (physical mating interface)
• Termination Method: Screw (connection interface)
• Contact Finish: Gold (mating surface specification)
• Current Rating: 4A (electrical load capacity)
• Voltage Rating: 60V (electrical operating window)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (environmental sealing)
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 85°C (thermal envelope)

The substitute part 43-00094 maintains these critical parameters, with the single variance occurring in cable opening tolerance, which accommodates a wider range of cable sizes while preserving all electrical and sealing specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 43-00094 serves as the active production equivalent for the obsolete 43-00093. Both components achieve identical electrical and environmental specifications with current and voltage ratings of 4A and 60V respectively. The 43-00094 benefits from active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and component traceability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL-1 moisture sensitivity classification. The primary selection criterion between these parts is cable opening accommodation: the 43-00093 supports smaller gauge cables (4.00mm to 6.00mm), while the 43-00094 accommodates larger gauge cables (6.00mm to 8.00mm). Selection should be based on the cable diameter required for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 43-00094 directly replace 43-00093 in existing assemblies? Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (4A, 60V), connector configuration (5-position M12-5 plug with female sockets), sealing (IP67), and operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C). The primary difference is cable opening tolerance. Direct substitution is viable when cable diameter compatibility is confirmed against application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the cable opening difference between these parts? The cable opening specification defines the acceptable range of cable diameters that can be accommodated by the backshell. The 43-00093 supports cables from 4.00mm to 6.00mm outer diameter, while the 43-00094 accommodates cables from 6.00mm to 8.00mm. Verify your cable gauge against the appropriate part cable opening range before selection.

Q: Why is 43-00093 listed as obsolete? Product obsolescence reflects the manufacturer's decision to discontinue active production. The 43-00094 represents the current production equivalent, offering identical functional and electrical specifications while maintaining current manufacturing support and supply chain availability.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental and regulatory standards? Both the 43-00093 and 43-00094 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements. Both maintain MSL-1 moisture sensitivity classification, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: Does the cable opening difference affect mating or contact performance? No. The cable opening specification governs only the backshell opening size for cable entry and strain relief. All electrical mating, contact finishes, and sealing characteristics remain identical between the two components, with no impact to interface performance.
