Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HARTING 60030680255 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: 68 positions (primary functional requirement)
• Connector Type: D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors (form factor compatibility)
• Accessory Classification: Backshell and cover assembly (functional role)
• Shielding: Shielded configuration (electrical performance)
• Cable Exit Angle: 180° (mechanical orientation)
• Material Composition: Metal shell construction (durability and EMI performance)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification (legal and environmental requirements)
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 787229-1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on alignment across all specified parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 787229-1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete HARTING 60030680255. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original component.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and EAR99 classification. This ensures no regulatory barriers to substitution in existing or new applications.

Moisture Sensitivity Compatibility: Both components share MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical handling, storage, and environmental requirements throughout the supply chain and field deployment.

Functional Specifications: The 68-position D-Sub connector category and shielded metal construction of the substitute part align with the original component's electrical and mechanical performance requirements.

Tariff Classification: Identical HTSUS coding (8538.90.8180) confirms equivalent trade classification and regulatory treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the HARTING 60030680255 being discontinued? A: The part is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The TE Connectivity 787229-1 provides functional equivalence for 68-position D-Sub connector applications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the TE Connectivity 787229-1 for the HARTING 60030680255? A: Both parts share identical position count (68), connector category (D-Sub), regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). The substitute part is designed for 180° cable exit with shielded metal construction, which aligns with standard D-Sub backshell specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the two parts? A: The primary difference is manufacturer and product status. The HARTING part is obsolete, while the TE Connectivity part is active. The TE Connectivity part is specified as a two-piece backshell and cover assembly with 180° cable exit and shielded metal construction.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level? A: Yes. Both the HARTING 60030680255 and TE Connectivity 787229-1 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for handling, storage, or deployment.

Q: Are the regulatory certifications identical? A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both share the same HTSUS tariff code (8538.90.8180).

Q: What is the current inventory status of the substitute part? A: The TE Connectivity 787229-1 has 1441 pieces in new original stock, providing immediate availability for procurement.
