Conta-Clip 5741.2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Conta-Clip 5741.2 is a 15-position male Sub-D interface module classified as a terminal block connector. This component serves as a process-side interface adapter, converting screw terminal connections to D-Sub male connectors for industrial control applications.

The 5741.2 has reached obsolete product status, making it necessary to identify active equivalent components that maintain functional compatibility. Substitute parts must preserve the 15-position configuration, D-Sub male interface, and electrical ratings to ensure seamless integration into existing systems.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5741.2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 15-position D-Sub male interface on the control side
• Process Connection Type: Screw terminal block connection
• Electrical Specifications: 125VAC/DC voltage rating and 1.5 A per-contact current capacity
• Wire Compatibility: 12-24 AWG wire gauge acceptance
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating

The Conta-Clip 15296.2 meets all substitution criteria as an active product offering identical functional parameters and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Conta-Clip 15296.2 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 5741.2. Both components share identical electrical specifications, connector configurations, and compliance certifications. The 15296.2 is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (871 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity.

The substitution is based on functional equivalence: identical 15-position D-Sub male interface, screw terminal block process connection, 125VAC/DC voltage rating, and 1.5 A per-contact current capacity. Both components maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings.

The 15296.2 provides additional specification documentation including operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 50°C), physical dimensions, and jackscrew socket cable retainer specification, which were not provided for the original 5741.2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 15296.2 directly replace the 5741.2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (125VAC/DC, 1.5 A per contact), connector configuration (15-position D-Sub male), process connection type (screw terminal blocks), and wire gauge compatibility (12-24 AWG). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between the two parts?

A: The 15296.2 specifies physical dimensions (1.850" length × 2.008" width). Dimensions for the 5741.2 were not provided in the original documentation. Verify mounting space compatibility in your application before installation.

Q: What is the significance of the jackscrew socket on the 15296.2?

A: The jackscrew socket is a cable retainer feature on the D-Sub male connector side of the 15296.2. This provides mechanical strain relief and secure mating with D-Sub female connectors. This feature was not specified for the 5741.2.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5741.2 and 15296.2 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting industrial environmental standards.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these components?

A: The 15296.2 operates across -20°C to 50°C. Operating temperature specification for the 5741.2 was not provided in the original documentation.
