Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 863013A is identified as the manufacturer-recommended equivalent for the obsolete 863013LF. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters:

• Base Product Number alignment (863013)
• D-Sub connector category classification
• Metal construction and shielding capability
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• Amphenol ICC (FCI) manufacturer continuity

The 863013A represents an active product within the same connector family, sharing the foundational design lineage through the common base product number 863013. This substitution maintains compatibility within D-Sub connector applications while transitioning from an obsolete to an active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the main part and substitute should be based on the following engineering criteria:

The 863013LF is obsolete and no longer recommended for new designs. The 863013A is the active manufacturer-recommended substitute, carrying Active product status and full availability (982 pcs in stock). Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) and share the same base product number, ensuring design continuity.

The 863013A is classified as RoHS non-compliant, consistent with legacy D-Sub connector standards. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, alternative connector families should be evaluated outside this substitution group.

The 863013A is designated as a 37 Position One Piece Backshell Connector with 180° cable exit and shielded configuration, providing enhanced electromagnetic interference protection compared to unshielded alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 863013A directly replace the 863013LF in existing applications?

A: The 863013A is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 863013LF. Both parts share the base product number 863013 and identical MSL ratings. Compatibility depends on your specific application requirements regarding position count, cable exit angle, and shielding specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number 863013?

A: The base product number 863013 identifies the core connector family. Both the obsolete 863013LF and active 863013A derive from this family designation, establishing their substitution relationship within Amphenol ICC's D-Sub connector portfolio.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 863013LF packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 863013A is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: What does the shielded configuration of the 863013A provide?

A: The 863013A incorporates shielding, which provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. This is relevant for applications operating in electrically noisy environments or requiring signal integrity assurance.

Q: Is the 863013A suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The 863013A carries Active product status and is in current production. It is appropriate for new designs requiring D-Sub 37-position connectors with 180° cable exit and shielded configuration.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
