73002722 Circular Connector Insert - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LAPP 73002722 is a 12-position circular connector insert featuring female sockets with solder termination in the EPIC® M23 series. This component serves as the contact carrier assembly for M23 circular connector systems used in automotive and industrial applications. The insert is actively manufactured and maintained in production status, with 736 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and termination characteristics align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement within system designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LAPP 73002722 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count: 12-position configuration is mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility within M23 connector systems.

Shell Size: M23 standard ensures physical fit within mating shells and backshells designed for this form factor.

Connector Type: Female socket inserts are required to maintain gender compatibility in the connector pair.

Termination Method: Solder termination enables equivalent PCB assembly and rework procedures.

Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (7A minimum, 100V minimum) to ensure safe operation under design load conditions.

Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces provides equivalent corrosion resistance and contact reliability.

Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating ensures equivalent material safety performance in end-use applications.

Shielding Configuration: Unshielded topology must be maintained to preserve EMI characteristics of the original design.

The HARTING 09151122702 meets these substitution criteria across all critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: LAPP 73002722 remains the specified component when original part availability and supply chain continuity are established. Active production status and current inventory (736 units) support standard procurement timelines.

Substitute Selection: HARTING 09151122702 is qualified as a direct functional substitute when LAPP 73002722 availability is constrained or supply lead times exceed project requirements. The substitute demonstrates equivalent or superior performance across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Current rating of 8A exceeds the 7A requirement
• Voltage rating of 200V exceeds the 100V requirement
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C extends the lower temperature limit
• UL94 V-0 flammability compliance matches the original specification
• Gold contact finish and 12-position M23 configuration ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility

Both components carry active product status and comply with applicable trade regulations (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4020).

Compliance Considerations: HARTING 09151122702 carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Verify end-use application requirements for regulatory compliance before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HARTING 09151122702 be used as a direct replacement for LAPP 73002722 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are 12-position M23 female socket inserts with solder termination, gold-plated contacts, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The HARTING substitute meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between "Solder" and "Solder Cup" termination?

A: Both termination methods use solder as the connection medium. Solder Cup specifically describes a cup-shaped contact geometry designed to accept solder. Both are compatible with standard PCB solder assembly processes.

Q: Are there any mechanical differences between M23 and M23-12 designations?

A: M23-12 is the full designation indicating M23 shell size with 12 positions. Both parts use the same M23 form factor and are mechanically compatible with M23 shells and backshells.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of HARTING 09151122702 (200V vs. 100V) affect circuit design?

A: No. Higher voltage ratings indicate greater dielectric strength and safety margin. The substitute part operates safely at the original design voltage of 100V and below.

Q: What is the significance of the extended temperature range (-40°C vs. -25°C) in HARTING 09151122702?

A: The extended lower temperature limit provides operational capability in colder environments. For applications limited to -25°C minimum, both parts perform equivalently.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: LAPP 73002722 product status does not specify RoHS compliance in the provided data. HARTING 09151122702 is explicitly RoHS3 compliant. Verify RoHS requirements for your application before selection.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for LAPP 73002722?

A: MSL data is not provided for the LAPP component. HARTING 09151122702 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these inserts be used interchangeably with other M23 connector series?

A: Compatibility depends on the specific shell and backshell design. Both EPIC® (LAPP) and Han® M23 (HARTING) series use standard M23 form factors. Verify mechanical fit with your specific connector shells before assembly.
