Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AFD50-14-4PN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Shell size and insert designation (14-4)
• Panel mount configuration with flange mounting feature
• Bayonet lock fastening mechanism
• 4-position connector architecture
• Normal orientation

Electrical Compatibility:

• Crimp termination method
• 23A current rating capability
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 200°C
• Gold-plated mating contact finish
• Copper alloy contact material
• Environment resistant ingress protection

Environmental & Regulatory:

• RoHS non-compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Military and aerospace application suitability

The PV70W14-4PL from ITT Cannon, LLC meets all critical substitution criteria within the circular connector receptacle category. Both components share identical shell size designation, position count, mounting configuration, fastening type, and operating temperature specifications. The substitute maintains equivalent electrical performance through matching crimp contact termination and environment-resistant design.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: PV70W14-4PL

The PV70W14-4PL is the qualified substitute for the discontinued AFD50-14-4PN based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Equivalence: All critical mechanical parameters align precisely. Both connectors feature identical shell size designation (14-4), 4-position architecture, panel mount configuration with flange mounting, and bayonet lock fastening. The normal orientation specification is maintained across both components.

Electrical Performance: Both components support crimp termination and operate within the identical temperature range (-55°C to 200°C). The substitute maintains environment-resistant ingress protection required for aerospace, automotive, and military applications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components share RoHS non-compliant status and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ensuring consistent compliance posture in applications where these specifications are required.

Product Availability: The PV70W14-4PL maintains active product status with 1036 pieces in stock, providing immediate supply chain continuity for the discontinued AFD50-14-4PN.

Design Consideration: The PV70W14-4PL is supplied as a housing component without integrated contacts. Verify that contact specifications (material, finish, and size) for the substitute housing are compatible with your application requirements and existing contact inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PV70W14-4PL directly replace the AFD50-14-4PN in existing designs?

A: The PV70W14-4PL is mechanically and electrically compatible as a housing substitute. Both components share identical shell size (14-4), position count (4), mounting configuration (panel mount flange), fastening type (bayonet lock), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 200°C). Verify that contact specifications match your application requirements, as the PV70W14-4PL is supplied as a housing without integrated contacts.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in shell size designation, number of positions, mounting type and feature, fastening mechanism, termination method, operating temperature range, and ingress protection rating. Both the AFD50-14-4PN and PV70W14-4PL meet all these criteria.

Q: Are there any differences in shell material between these connectors?

A: The AFD50-14-4PN features an aluminum shell with nickel finish, while the PV70W14-4PL uses aluminum alloy with chromate over cadmium finish. Both materials provide equivalent structural and environmental protection for the specified operating conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the PV70W14-4PL being supplied without contacts?

A: The PV70W14-4PL is a housing component. Contacts must be selected and installed separately. Ensure that replacement contacts match the original contact specifications in material, finish, size, and crimp termination compatibility.

Q: Do both connectors meet military and aerospace standards?

A: Both connectors are designed for aviation, automotive, and military applications. The AFD50-14-4PN references MIL-DTL-26482 G Series II compliance. Verify specific military or aerospace standard requirements for your application before final selection.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The AFD50-14-4PN is rated for 23A. The PV70W14-4PL current rating is contact-dependent and must be verified based on the specific contacts selected for installation in the housing.

Q: Are there any RoHS compliance considerations?

A: Both connectors are RoHS non-compliant. If your application requires RoHS compliance, alternative connector families must be evaluated.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these components?

A: Both connectors have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
