Equivalent & Substitute Parts for A-IE-S-DIP-R

Part Overview

The A-IE-S-DIP-R is a Firewire (IEEE 1394) Receptacle Connector manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This 6-position through-hole, right-angle connector is designed for legacy Firewire applications requiring board-mounted receptacle connectivity. The part is currently obsolete, making substitute components necessary for ongoing production, maintenance, or design updates. Two qualified substitute parts are available from active product lines that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the A-IE-S-DIP-R is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Type: Firewire (IEEE 1394)
• Gender: Receptacle
• Number of Contacts: 6
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: 1A
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Both substitute parts (A-IES-DIP-C and 929) meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical requirements. The A-IES-DIP-C is the direct successor from Assmann WSW Components with active product status. Part 929 from Keystone Electronics provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

A-IES-DIP-C is the primary substitute for A-IE-S-DIP-R. Both parts are manufactured by Assmann WSW Components, ensuring design continuity and material consistency. The A-IES-DIP-C carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance and defined operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C), making it suitable for production environments requiring regulatory compliance and long-term availability.

929 from Keystone Electronics serves as an alternative substitute when A-IES-DIP-C is unavailable. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters but operates within a narrower temperature range (0°C ~ 40°C) and uses steel shell material instead of brass. The 929 is ROHS3 compliant and specifies 1500 mating cycles, providing documented mechanical durability. Selection of 929 requires verification that the operating temperature and shell material are compatible with the target application.

Both substitutes are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes, matching the regulatory profile of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can A-IES-DIP-C directly replace A-IE-S-DIP-R without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (through hole, right angle), contact count (6), and termination method (solder). No PCB layout changes are required for mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between A-IES-DIP-C and 929?

A: Both are functionally equivalent Firewire receptacles. Key differences include manufacturer (Assmann vs. Keystone), operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C vs. 0°C ~ 40°C), shell material (brass vs. steel), and packaging format (tray vs. bulk). Selection depends on application temperature requirements and supply chain preferences.

Q: Is the A-IE-S-DIP-R still available for purchase?

A: A-IE-S-DIP-R is obsolete. A-IES-DIP-C (active, 934 units in stock) and 929 (active, 2064 units in stock) are the available alternatives.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both A-IES-DIP-C and 929 are ROHS3 compliant. The original A-IE-S-DIP-R RoHS status was not specified.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitutes?

A: A-IES-DIP-C is supplied in tray packaging. Part 929 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and cost considerations for high-volume applications.

Q: Are there temperature or voltage limitations I should consider?

A: A-IES-DIP-C operates from -20°C to 85°C at 30V rated voltage. Part 929 operates from 0°C to 40°C at 30VAC. Verify that your application falls within these ranges before final part selection.
