ITT Cannon 980-2000-346 D-Sub Backshell Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ITT Cannon 980-2000-346 is a 15-position two-piece backshell connector with 180° cable exit and shielding for D-Sub applications. This component is classified as an active product and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 980-2000-346 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 15
• Compatible Shell Size: Must be A
• Compatible D-Sub Size: Must support 15pos and HD26pos
• Cable Exit Angle: Must be 180°
• Shielding: Must be Shielded
• Accessory Type: Must be Two Piece Backshell
• Cable Type: Must be Round
• Product Status: Must be Active
• RoHS Compliance: Must be ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part 980-2000-351 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Variations in primary material composition (metal zinc versus thermoplastic), plating specification (zinc clear versus nickel), and hardware configuration (mating screws versus cable clamp) do not affect functional compatibility within the D-Sub backshell application scope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 980-2000-346 and 980-2000-351 are active products manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on material and hardware requirements specific to the application:

The 980-2000-346 features metal construction with zinc clear plating and mating screws, suitable for applications requiring enhanced EMI shielding performance and mechanical robustness.

The 980-2000-351 features thermoplastic construction with nickel plating and cable clamp hardware, suitable for applications where material flexibility and alternative fastening mechanisms are acceptable.

Both parts satisfy the core functional requirements for 15-position D-Sub backshell applications with 180° cable exit and shielding. Selection should be based on material compatibility, environmental exposure, and mechanical interface requirements within the target assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 980-2000-351 directly replace 980-2000-346 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application does not impose specific material or plating requirements. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical compatibility for 15-position D-Sub connectors with 180° cable exit and shielding.

Q: What is the significance of the material difference between the two parts?

A: The 980-2000-346 uses metal (zinc) construction, while the 980-2000-351 uses thermoplastic construction. This affects mechanical durability, EMI shielding characteristics, and environmental resistance. Material selection should align with application-specific environmental and performance requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same D-Sub connector sizes?

A: Yes. Both parts are compatible with 15pos and HD26pos D-Sub sizes and maintain shell size A compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in hardware configuration?

A: The 980-2000-346 includes mating screws and grommets, while the 980-2000-351 includes a cable clamp. Both configurations provide secure cable retention; selection depends on assembly methodology and mechanical interface requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain active product status with ITT Cannon, LLC.
