AFD50-20-39PN Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AFD50-20-39PN is a 39-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This connector features male pins with crimp termination, panel mount configuration with bayonet lock fastening, and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 200°C. The connector is constructed with an aluminum shell finished in nickel, gold-plated mating contacts, and is rated for 7.5A and 13A current applications. The AFD50-20-39PN is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing procurement and system integration requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AFD50-20-39PN are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Circular connector category classification
• 39-position configuration
• Shell size designation 20-39
• Receptacle connector type with male pins
• Crimp termination method
• Panel mount with flange configuration
• Bayonet lock fastening mechanism
• RoHS non-compliant status
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN classification EAR99
• HTSUS code 8536.69.4020

The substitute parts PV70L20-39P and PV70W20-39P, both manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, are classified as equivalent alternatives based on their shared circular connector category, identical shell size designation (20-39), and matching regulatory compliance parameters (RoHS non-compliant, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4020). Both substitute parts maintain active product status, ensuring continued availability for procurement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AFD50-20-39PN (Primary Part - Discontinued)

The AFD50-20-39PN remains available through existing inventory channels with 825 pieces in stock. However, the discontinued status at DiGi Electronics indicates limited future procurement viability. This part is suitable for immediate replacement applications or legacy system maintenance where existing stock is accessible.

PV70L20-39P (ITT Cannon - Active Substitute)

The PV70L20-39P is an active product with 849 pieces available in inventory. This substitute maintains identical regulatory compliance (RoHS non-compliant, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4020) and shares the critical shell size designation 20-39. Active product status ensures continued procurement availability for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

PV70W20-39P (ITT Cannon - Active Substitute)

The PV70W20-39P is an active product with 930 pieces available in inventory, representing the highest stock level among all three options. This substitute maintains identical regulatory compliance parameters and shell size designation. The elevated inventory level provides extended procurement security for high-volume applications.

Selection Basis:

Component selection should prioritize active products (PV70L20-39P or PV70W20-39P) for new designs and long-term production planning. The distinction between PV70L20-39P and PV70W20-39P variants relates to specific mechanical or electrical configurations not detailed in the provided parameters; engineering documentation from ITT Cannon should be consulted to determine the appropriate variant for the specific application requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the AFD50-20-39PN discontinued, and what are the implications?

A: The AFD50-20-39PN is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating that the manufacturer has ceased active production or distribution through this channel. Existing inventory (825 pieces) remains available for immediate procurement, but future availability is not guaranteed. For ongoing production requirements, transition to an active substitute part is recommended.

Q: What parameters determine compatibility between the AFD50-20-39PN and its substitutes?

A: Compatibility is established through matching circular connector category, 39-position configuration, shell size designation 20-39, and identical regulatory compliance parameters (RoHS non-compliant, MSL 1, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4020). These parameters ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified application domain.

Q: Are PV70L20-39P and PV70W20-39P interchangeable?

A: Both PV70L20-39P and PV70W20-39P share identical regulatory compliance, shell size designation, and category classification. The specific differences between these variants are not detailed in the available parameters. Detailed technical specifications from ITT Cannon should be reviewed to determine application-specific suitability.

Q: What is the significance of the shell size designation 20-39?

A: The shell size designation 20-39 is a critical parameter that defines the physical and electrical interface characteristics of the connector. This designation must match exactly between the primary part and any substitute to ensure mechanical fit and proper mating with corresponding plug connectors.

Q: How does product status affect component selection?

A: Active product status (PV70L20-39P and PV70W20-39P) ensures continued manufacturer support, availability through distribution channels, and compliance with current production standards. Discontinued status (AFD50-20-39PN) limits future procurement options and should be considered a temporary solution for legacy system support only.

Q: What role does inventory availability play in component selection?

A: Inventory levels indicate immediate procurement capacity. PV70W20-39P offers the highest inventory (930 pieces), followed by PV70L20-39P (849 pieces) and AFD50-20-39PN (825 pieces). For high-volume or time-sensitive applications, higher inventory levels provide procurement security and reduced lead times.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when substituting these parts?

A: All three parts share identical compliance parameters: RoHS non-compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8536.69.4020. Substitution does not introduce compliance changes. Applications subject to specific regulatory requirements should verify that these compliance parameters align with system-level requirements.
