Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes PV72L14-4P a suitable substitute for AFD58-14-4PN?

A: Both parts are classified as circular connectors with 4-position configurations. They share identical RoHS non-compliant status, MSL Level 1 rating, and HTSUS tariff code 8536.69.4020, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for military and aerospace applications.

Q: Are there documented differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: The provided specifications do not include voltage rating or cable opening dimensions for either part. Current rating (23A) is specified for the AFD58-14-4PN. Detailed electrical performance comparison requires manufacturer datasheets.

Q: What is the significance of the shell size designation 14-4?

A: The shell size 14-4 designation indicates a 4-position insert within a size 14 shell per MIL-DTL-26482 specifications. This parameter is not specified for the PV72L14-4P substitute.

Q: Why is the AFD58-14-4PN being discontinued?

A: Product discontinuation at DiGi Electronics reflects distribution decisions. The part remains available through existing inventory channels. Identifying active substitute parts ensures design continuity.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Both parts are circular connectors with 4-position configurations and identical compliance classifications. Physical compatibility and mating interface alignment require verification against mechanical drawings and connector interface specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant, carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, and are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.4020, indicating equivalent regulatory status for military and aerospace applications.

Q: Is there a difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The AFD58-14-4PN packaging is not specified. The PV72L14-4P is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed with procurement specifications.
