AMK-0222 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The AMK-0222 is a D-Sub to modular adapter connector manufactured by CUI Devices, converting a 25-pin female D-Sub interface to a 6p6c (RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, RJ25) female jack in black. This product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AMK-0222 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Interface Compatibility: Input connector must be D-Sub, 25 Pin Female; output connector must be Modular, Female Jack, 6p6c (RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, RJ25)
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance status and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating
• Export Classification: ECCN code must match for regulatory consistency

The AT-23053 manufactured by Assmann WSW Components qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical connector specifications and compatible compliance certifications. The primary distinction is color (beige versus black) and manufacturer series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AT-23053 is functionally equivalent to the AMK-0222 for applications requiring D-Sub 25-pin female to 6p6c modular jack conversion. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Product Availability: The AT-23053 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term procurement viability compared to the obsolete AMK-0222
• Compliance Certification: Both parts meet RoHS requirements and carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99), supporting regulatory consistency
• Environmental Rating: Identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited) confirm equivalent moisture tolerance for storage and handling
• Color Specification: Color difference (black versus beige) is the only functional distinction and should be evaluated against system integration requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AT-23053 replace the AMK-0222 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both adapters provide identical electrical and mechanical conversion from D-Sub 25-pin female to 6p6c modular female jack. The only difference is connector color (beige versus black).

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99). The AT-23053 carries ROHS3 certification, which represents a more recent compliance standard while maintaining backward compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or transport. This rating applies equally to both the AMK-0222 and AT-23053.

Q: Why is the AMK-0222 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer (CUI Devices) has discontinued production. The AT-23053 remains in active production, making it the recommended choice for new procurement and long-term system support.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (bag for AT-23053) does not affect functional compatibility. Packaging differences are relevant only for inventory management and handling procedures.
