Amphenol ICC 5740360 D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 5740360 is a 36-position receptacle connector with free hanging (in-line) mounting and solder cup termination. This connector features outer shroud contacts, gold-plated contact finish, and bail lock functionality. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and legacy equipment support. The connector operates within the D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors category and maintains RoHS compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution analysis for the Amphenol ICC 5740360 is constrained by several critical parameters that define functional compatibility. The primary substitute identified is the NorComp Inc. 111-024-103L001, which shares the following allowable substitution criteria:

Shared Substitution Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination Method: Solder Cup
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Connector Style Category: D-Sub family connectors
• Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)
• RoHS Compliance: Both parts maintain environmental compliance standards

Critical Differences Affecting Substitution: The substitute part differs in position count (24 positions versus 36 positions), connector type (plug versus receptacle), and connector style (center strip contacts versus outer shroud contacts). These differences indicate that direct one-to-one substitution is not applicable for all applications. The substitute part operates within the same general connector family and shares core termination and mounting characteristics, but application-specific requirements must be evaluated based on position count and connector gender requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NorComp Inc. 111-024-103L001 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the Amphenol ICC 5740360 is obsolete. From a compliance perspective, both parts maintain RoHS environmental standards, with the NorComp part meeting the more recent ROHS3 specification. The NorComp part carries REACH Unaffected status, indicating no regulatory restrictions on its use.

Selection between these parts must account for the position count differential (36 versus 24 positions) and connector gender requirements (receptacle versus plug). The substitute part is suitable only for applications where the reduced position count and plug configuration align with system requirements. Both parts employ solder cup termination and free hanging mounting, supporting equivalent assembly processes. The contact finish specifications differ in thickness measurement methodology, with the Amphenol part specifying 20.0µin and the NorComp part specifying flash plating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 111-024-103L001 directly replace the Amphenol 5740360 in all applications?

A: No. While both connectors share solder cup termination and free hanging mounting characteristics, the NorComp part has 24 positions compared to the Amphenol part's 36 positions. Additionally, the NorComp part is a plug connector while the Amphenol part is a receptacle. Direct substitution is only possible in applications where the reduced position count and plug configuration are compatible with the system design.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The Amphenol 5740360 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The NorComp 111-024-103L001 is active, meaning it is currently manufactured and readily available. For new designs or long-term supply requirements, the active part is preferable. For legacy system repairs, the obsolete part may still be sourced from existing inventory.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Amphenol 5740360 is RoHS Compliant, and the NorComp 111-024-103L001 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts meet environmental regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish specifications?

A: The Amphenol 5740360 specifies a contact finish thickness of 20.0µin (0.51µm), while the NorComp 111-024-103L001 specifies flash plating. Flash plating represents a minimal gold coating applied to the contact surface. The Amphenol specification provides a thicker, more durable gold layer.

Q: What packaging format is available for the NorComp substitute part?

A: The NorComp 111-024-103L001 is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the Amphenol 5740360 packaging format is not specified in the available data.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for these connectors?

A: The Amphenol 5740360 has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The NorComp 111-024-103L001 lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating the part does not require moisture sensitivity handling protocols.
