Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AFD50-12-10PN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 10
• Shell Size - Insert: 12-10
• Connector Type: Receptacle for Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount with Flange
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 200°C
• Insert Material: Plastic
• Ingress Protection: Environment Resistant

The substitute parts PV70W12-10PL and PV70L12-10PL from ITT Cannon, LLC meet all mandatory matching parameters. Both are receptacle housings designed for 10-position male pin configurations with identical shell sizing, panel mount flanges, bayonet fastening, and crimp contact compatibility. Both operate across the full -55°C to 200°C temperature range and maintain environment-resistant ingress protection.

The primary differences between substitutes relate to shell finish and housing color, which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for connector mating and termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PV70L12-10PL Selection Criteria: The PV70L12-10PL maintains silver housing color matching the original AFD50-12-10PN and features electroless nickel shell finish. This substitute is suitable for applications where color coding or finish consistency with existing connector inventories is required. The part is currently active with 1071 units in stock, ensuring supply continuity.

PV70W12-10PL Selection Criteria: The PV70W12-10PL features olive drab housing color and chromate over cadmium shell finish, making it suitable for military applications requiring specific color identification or corrosion resistance specifications. This substitute is currently active with 733 units in stock.

Both substitutes are non-compliant with RoHS regulations, matching the compliance status of the discontinued AFD50-12-10PN. Selection between PV70L12-10PL and PV70W12-10PL should be based on application-specific requirements for housing color and shell finish rather than electrical or mechanical performance, as both provide equivalent functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PV70L12-10PL and PV70W12-10PL electrically equivalent to AFD50-12-10PN?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 10-position configuration, crimp termination compatibility, bayonet fastening, and -55°C to 200°C operating temperature range. The substitutes are receptacle housings designed for male pins, providing equivalent mating functionality.

Q: What is the difference between PV70L12-10PL and PV70W12-10PL?

A: The primary differences are shell finish and housing color. PV70L12-10PL features electroless nickel finish with silver housing, while PV70W12-10PL features chromate over cadmium finish with olive drab housing. Both maintain identical mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. Both PV70L12-10PL and PV70W12-10PL are receptacle housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped according to connector specifications.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with existing AFD50-12-10PN mating connectors?

A: Yes. The 10-position shell size 12-10 configuration, bayonet fastening, and normal orientation ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating connectors designed for the AFD50-12-10PN.

Q: What is the current availability status of these substitutes?

A: Both PV70L12-10PL (1071 units) and PV70W12-10PL (733 units) are active products with current inventory. The original AFD50-12-10PN is discontinued at DiGi Electronics.

Q: Do the substitutes meet the same environmental specifications?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain environment-resistant ingress protection, plastic insert material, and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), matching the environmental specifications of the AFD50-12-10PN.
