Amphenol CONEC 43-00101 Circular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol CONEC 43-00101 is a 5-position circular connector receptacle with male pins, designed for screw termination in free-hanging inline applications. This connector features gold-plated contacts, IP67 ingress protection, and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C with a 4A current rating at 60V.

The 43-00101 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new production applications where this connector specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 43-00101 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Male Pins)
• Number of positions (5)
• Current rating (4A minimum)
• Voltage rating (60V minimum)
• Contact finish (Gold plating for mating surfaces)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Shell size and insert designation (M12-5)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Termination method (Screw)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Orientation (A)

Environmental & Compliance:

• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C)
• RoHS3 compliance
• Material specifications (Polyamide PA6 shell, Copper Zinc contacts)

The substitute part 43-00102 maintains full equivalence across all critical parameters while offering improved product availability through active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol CONEC 43-00102 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 43-00101 model. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC within the same Series 43 product line and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Substitution Basis:

The 43-00102 provides full functional equivalence with the following advantages:

• Active Production Status: The 43-00102 is in active production, ensuring reliable long-term availability compared to the obsolete 43-00101.
• Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4020).
• Electrical Performance: Identical current rating (4A), voltage rating (60V), and contact finish (gold plating).
• Environmental Performance: Both connectors meet IP67 ingress protection and operate across the identical temperature range (-30°C to 85°C).
• Material Specifications: Identical shell material (Polyamide PA6, Glass Filled), contact material (Copper Zinc), and insert material.

Cable Opening Consideration:

The 43-00102 features a wider cable opening range (0.236" ~ 0.315" or 6.00mm ~ 8.00mm) compared to the 43-00101 (0.157" ~ 0.236" or 4.00mm ~ 6.00mm). This expanded range accommodates larger cable diameters while maintaining compatibility with the original specification range. Cable selection must remain within the application requirements.

Inventory Availability:

The 43-00102 is available in bulk packaging with 2,101 pieces in stock, providing superior availability compared to the 43-00101 (795 pieces, obsolete status).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 43-00102 directly replace the 43-00101 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 43-00102 maintains identical electrical ratings (4A at 60V), mechanical configuration (M12-5 shell size, 5-position, screw termination), and environmental specifications (IP67, -30°C to 85°C). Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol CONEC within the same Series 43 product line.

Q: What is the difference in cable opening specifications between these two parts?

A: The 43-00101 accepts cables with diameters of 0.157" to 0.236" (4.00mm to 6.00mm). The 43-00102 accepts cables with diameters of 0.236" to 0.315" (6.00mm to 8.00mm). The 43-00102 range is wider and encompasses the upper portion of the 43-00101 range. Cable selection must match the application requirements and the connector's cable opening specification.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both the 43-00101 and 43-00102 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4020). Both maintain UL94 material flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Why is the 43-00101 listed as obsolete?

A: The 43-00101 has been superseded by the 43-00102 in the Amphenol CONEC product line. The 43-00102 is the active production equivalent and is recommended for all new designs and procurement.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 43-00101 packaging is not specified in the product data. The 43-00102 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors use Copper Zinc contact material with gold plating on mating surfaces. Contact finish thickness specifications are not provided for either part.

Q: Can I use the 43-00102 in applications originally designed for the 43-00101?

A: Yes, provided the cable diameter falls within the 43-00102 cable opening range (6.00mm to 8.00mm). If the original application uses cables smaller than 6.00mm in diameter, the cable opening tolerance difference must be evaluated for the specific installation.
