HARTING 73000005664 M12 Circular Connector Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HARTING 73000005664 is a 4-position circular connector plug with male pins and wire leads, designed for M12-4 shell size applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 4A current rating and 250VDC voltage rating with IP67 ingress protection suitable for dust-tight and waterproof applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HARTING 73000005664 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 4
• Shell Size - Insert: M12-4
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Ingress Protection: IP67 - Dust Tight, Waterproof
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 70°C

Allowable Variations:

• Termination method (Wire Leads vs. Solder Cup) is permitted when system integration accommodates the connection method
• Current and voltage ratings may differ provided the substitute meets or exceeds the original specification
• Orientation keying may vary based on connector series design
• Shell material and finish specifications may vary within the M12-4 standard

The substitute part XS2M-D424-2 from Omron Automation and Safety satisfies all mandatory matching parameters while maintaining functional equivalence for M12 circular connector applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Omron XS2M-D424-2 serves as a functional substitute for the obsolete HARTING 73000005664 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The original HARTING component is obsolete, necessitating transition to an equivalent alternative.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming regulatory alignment for industrial applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical M12-4 shell size, panel mount configuration with bulkhead front side nut, and threaded fastening ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in existing mounting structures.

Environmental Performance: Both connectors maintain IP67 ingress protection and identical operating temperature ranges (-25°C to 70°C), confirming suitability for equivalent environmental conditions.

Electrical Considerations: The substitute part operates at 3A current rating and 125VDC voltage rating, which are lower than the original 4A/250VDC specification. System design must confirm that application requirements do not exceed the substitute part's electrical ratings.

Termination Method Transition: The substitute employs solder cup termination versus wire leads on the original. System integration must accommodate this connection method change through appropriate wiring and assembly procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Omron XS2M-D424-2 directly replace the HARTING 73000005664 in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical and environmental compatibility is confirmed through matching M12-4 shell size, panel mount configuration, IP67 rating, and operating temperature range. However, the termination method differs (solder cup vs. wire leads), requiring assembly procedure modification. Additionally, electrical ratings are lower (3A/125VDC vs. 4A/250VDC), necessitating verification that application requirements do not exceed substitute specifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by: connector type (plug, male pins), position count (4), shell size (M12-4), mounting configuration (panel mount with bulkhead front side nut), fastening method (threaded), ingress protection (IP67), and operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C). Variations in termination method, orientation keying, and electrical ratings are allowable when system design accommodates these differences.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. The original HARTING part is REACH Unaffected, while the Omron substitute is REACH Affected. System compliance requirements must be evaluated based on application jurisdiction and regulatory framework.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the substitute part?

A: The Omron XS2M-D424-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, differing from the original part's packaging specification. Procurement and inventory management procedures should account for this packaging format.

Q: How do the electrical ratings compare, and does this affect substitution?

A: The original HARTING part is rated 4A at 250VDC, while the Omron substitute is rated 3A at 125VDC. The substitute has lower electrical ratings. Substitution is valid only when application current and voltage requirements do not exceed 3A and 125VDC respectively. System design review is required to confirm compatibility with these lower ratings.
