Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of D-Sub jackscrew components is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Thread Size: Must match 4-40 specification for mechanical compatibility with D-Sub connector mounting holes
• Accessory Type: Must be a slotted jackscrew for D-Sub connectors
• Features: Clip feature must be present for proper connector assembly
• For Use With/Related Products: Must be designated for D-Sub connector applications

The substitute part 160X10259X meets these criteria. While dimensional variations exist in overall length below head (0.299" vs. 0.327"), both parts function as compatible jackscrews for D-Sub connector assemblies with identical thread specifications and clip features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 160X10259X represents the primary substitute for the obsolete 863025A. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The 160X10259X is active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 863025A.

Compliance: The 160X10259X is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The 863025A is RoHS non-compliant and should be phased out in new designs subject to RoHS directives.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts share identical thread size (4-40), accessory type (slotted jackscrew), and clip features required for D-Sub connector assembly. The 0.028" (0.70mm) difference in overall length below head falls within typical mechanical tolerances for D-Sub connector mounting applications.

Certifications: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 160X10259X directly replace the 863025A in existing D-Sub connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are slotted jackscrews with 4-40 thread size and clip features designed for D-Sub connectors. The minor dimensional difference (0.028" in overall length) is compatible with standard D-Sub connector mounting specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 863025A is RoHS non-compliant while the 160X10259X is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives (primarily in EU markets and regulated industries), the 160X10259X is the required choice. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, either part functions identically.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 863025A packaging is not specified in available data. The 160X10259X is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Why is the 863025A listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence typically results from manufacturer discontinuation. The 160X10259X, as an active Amphenol CONEC product with superior compliance status, represents the current production equivalent.

Q: Do both parts have identical thread specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 4-40 thread size, ensuring mechanical compatibility with D-Sub connector mounting holes.
