Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 97-3057-24 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series designation (97)
• Shell Size - Insert (36)
• Thread Size (2-18)
• Cable Opening (1.375" / 34.93mm)
• Cable Exit angle (180°)
• Material composition (Zinc Die Cast)
• Functional features (Clamp Screws)
• Package contents (5 pcs - 3 pc Cable Clamp, 2 Screws)

The substitute part 97-3057-1024 maintains all critical dimensional and functional specifications required for direct substitution. Variations in plating, color, and packaging format do not affect mechanical compatibility or performance in the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 97-3057-1024 is the direct substitute for the discontinued 97-3057-24. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations and maintain identical mechanical and dimensional specifications for MIL-5015 Series 97 Size 36 cable clamp applications.

Selection of the 97-3057-1024 is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability
• Identical cable opening, thread size, and shell size specifications
• Matching material composition and functional features
• Equivalent MSL rating and RoHS compliance status
• Identical package contents and quantity

The chromate plating and olive color of the 97-3057-1024 represent manufacturing refinements that do not compromise mechanical performance or compatibility with jacketed cables or wires protected by tubing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 97-3057-1024 be used as a direct replacement for the 97-3057-24?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for shell size (36), thread size (2-18), cable opening (1.375"), cable exit angle (180°), and material composition (Zinc Die Cast). The dimensional and functional equivalence permits direct substitution without modification to connector assemblies or cable configurations.

Q: What is the difference between the bagged and bulk packaging options?

A: The 97-3057-24 is supplied in bag packaging, while the 97-3057-1024 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both contain identical quantities (5 pcs - 3 pc Cable Clamp, 2 Screws). Packaging format does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Does the chromate plating on the 97-3057-1024 affect compatibility?

A: No. Chromate plating is a corrosion protection treatment applied to the zinc die cast material. It does not alter the mechanical dimensions, thread specifications, or functional performance of the cable clamp. The plating is compatible with standard connector assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the 97-3057-24 and 97-3057-1024 are RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must identify alternative components from the manufacturer's product line.

Q: What applications are these cable clamps designed for?

A: These clamps are designed for use with jacketed cables or wires protected by tubing in MIL-5015 Series 97 circular connector assemblies. The 180° cable exit configuration and 2-18 thread size are specific to this connector series and application category.

Q: Is the 97-3057-1024 currently in stock?

A: Yes. The 97-3057-1024 maintains active product status with documented inventory availability, unlike the discontinued 97-3057-24. Procurement of the substitute part is recommended for new designs and replenishment orders.
