Amphenol ICC 863012 D-Sub Backshell Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 863012 is a 25-position one-piece backshell connector with 180° cable exit, designed for D-Sub applications. This component features shielded construction with yellow chromate over cadmium plating and is compatible with both 25-position and HD44-position D-Sub shells in size B configuration.

The 863012 is classified as obsolete. Locating active production alternatives is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity and support for new designs or maintenance applications requiring equivalent functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 863012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: One Piece Backshell (identical construction method)
• Number of Positions: 25 (exact pin count match)
• Compatible Shell Size: B (mechanical fit requirement)
• Compatible D-Sub Size: 25pos and HD44pos (connector family compatibility)
• Cable Exit Angle: 180° (cable routing specification)
• Shielding: Shielded (electromagnetic protection requirement)
• Material and Plating: Steel with Yellow Chromate over Cadmium (corrosion resistance and environmental specification)

The substitute part 863012A maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, establishing direct functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 863012A is the direct substitute for the obsolete 863012. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction is product status: the 863012 is obsolete, while the 863012A is active production. The 863012A is supplied in bulk packaging, which may require adjustment to procurement workflows designed for the original part's packaging configuration.

Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant status and are subject to the same regulatory classifications (ECCN and HTSUS codes differ due to product status designation, but this reflects administrative classification rather than functional difference).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 863012A be used as a direct replacement for 863012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 863012A maintains identical specifications for all functional parameters: 25-position configuration, shell size B compatibility, 180° cable exit, shielded construction, and material/plating specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting 863012A for 863012?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for the connector interface itself. The 863012A is compatible with the same D-Sub connector families (25pos and HD44pos) and maintains identical mechanical fit. Packaging differences (bulk vs. unspecified) may affect procurement and handling procedures but do not impact functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The obsolete status of 863012 indicates end-of-life production. The 863012A's active status ensures ongoing availability, supply chain reliability, and manufacturer support. This transition is the primary reason for substitution.

Q: Are the RoHS compliance statuses identical?

A: Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant designation. This status is consistent across the substitution and does not introduce new compliance considerations.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of 863012A affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects logistics and handling only. Electrical and mechanical performance specifications remain identical regardless of packaging configuration.
