Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
The A-DFF37LPIII/FP-R can be directly substituted with A-DFF 37 LPIII/FP based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors share the same core parameters that define functional compatibility:
- 37-position D-Sub receptacle configuration
- 2-row layout in shell size 4 (DC, C)
- IDC ribbon cable termination method
- 3A current rating at 250V
- Gold-flashed contact finish
- PBT glass-filled dielectric material
- 26-28 AWG wire gauge compatibility
- UL94 V-0 flammability rating
- Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C
The primary difference between these parts is packaging format and product status. The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging and maintains active product status, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The A-DFF 37 LPIII/FP is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete A-DFF37LPIII/FP-R. Selection of the substitute part is supported by:
- Identical electrical specifications (3A, 250V)
- Matching mechanical configuration (37-position, 2-row, shell size 4)
- Identical termination method (IDC ribbon cable)
- Equivalent contact and dielectric materials
- Same operating temperature range
- Active product status ensuring continued availability
- ROHS3 compliance certification on the substitute part
No additional design modifications or interface changes are required when transitioning from the obsolete part to its substitute.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can A-DFF 37 LPIII/FP be used as a direct replacement for A-DFF37LPIII/FP-R?
A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 37-position configuration, shell size, termination method, current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature range. The substitute part is actively manufactured and available.
Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?
A: The primary differences are packaging format and product lifecycle status. A-DFF37LPIII/FP-R is supplied in unspecified packaging and is obsolete. A-DFF 37 LPIII/FP is supplied in tray packaging and maintains active status. Both parts are functionally equivalent.
Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?
A: The substitute part A-DFF 37 LPIII/FP carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are REACH unaffected. The substitute part's active status ensures ongoing compliance with current regulatory standards.
Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these connectors?
A: Both connectors accept 26-28 AWG ribbon cable for IDC termination.
Q: What is the current and voltage rating for this connector?
A: The connector is rated for 3A at 250V.
