CA02COM-E18-1P-B Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CA02COM-E18-1P-B is a 10-position circular connector receptacle with male pins and solder cup termination, manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC. This connector conforms to MIL-DTL-5015 military specifications and is designed for panel mount applications with reverse bayonet lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1303 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are available from alternative manufacturers. Substitution becomes necessary due to supply chain considerations, lead time requirements, or inventory availability while maintaining compliance with the same performance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CA02COM-E18-1P-B is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 10
• Shell Size - Insert: 18-1
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Contact Finish - Mating: Silver
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Series Compliance: MIL-DTL-5015

The MS3102R-18-1P manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations meets all mandatory matching parameters. Both connectors are 10-position circular receptacles with male pins, solder cup termination, silver contact finish, and operate within the same temperature range under MIL-DTL-5015 specifications. Both feature panel mount flanged configurations with unshielded designs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: CA02COM-E18-1P-B

The CA02COM-E18-1P-B is the specified part and maintains active production status. This connector is RoHS compliant, which is a critical consideration for applications subject to environmental regulations. The nickel shell finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for automotive, aviation, industrial, instrumentation, military, and telecom applications. The reverse bayonet lock fastening mechanism is specified for this configuration.

Substitute Selection: MS3102R-18-1P

The MS3102R-18-1P is functionally equivalent for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement. This part is suitable for military and marine applications where the olive drab chromate over cadmium finish is acceptable. The threaded fastening mechanism differs from the primary part's reverse bayonet lock design. The neoprene insert material is functionally equivalent to polychloroprene for the specified temperature range.

Compliance Considerations:

• The CA02COM-E18-1P-B is RoHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance.
• The MS3102R-18-1P is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, limiting its use in regulated environments.
• Both parts conform to MIL-DTL-5015 military specifications and operate across the same temperature range.
• Both parts are currently in active production with adequate inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MS3102R-18-1P be used as a direct replacement for CA02COM-E18-1P-B?

A: The MS3102R-18-1P is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications where RoHS compliance is not required. Both connectors share identical pin count (10), shell size (18-1), termination method (solder cup), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). However, the fastening mechanism differs: CA02COM-E18-1P-B uses reverse bayonet lock while MS3102R-18-1P uses threaded fastening. The shell finish and material composition also differ.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) RoHS compliance status—CA02COM-E18-1P-B is compliant, MS3102R-18-1P is not; (2) Shell finish—nickel versus olive drab chromate over cadmium; (3) Fastening type—reverse bayonet lock versus threaded; (4) Insert material—polychloroprene versus neoprene; (5) Packaging—bag versus bulk.

Q: Which connector should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The CA02COM-E18-1P-B is the appropriate selection for automotive applications due to its RoHS compliance and active production status. The nickel shell finish provides suitable corrosion resistance for automotive environments.

Q: Are both connectors rated for the same current and voltage?

A: The CA02COM-E18-1P-B specifies 22A current rating and 50V voltage rating. The MS3102R-18-1P does not provide current and voltage ratings in the available documentation. For applications requiring specific electrical performance verification, the CA02COM-E18-1P-B is the recommended selection.

Q: What is the difference in insert material between these connectors?

A: The CA02COM-E18-1P-B uses polychloroprene insert material, while the MS3102R-18-1P uses neoprene. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C and provide equivalent functional performance for this connector category.

Q: How do the packaging options affect ordering?

A: The CA02COM-E18-1P-B is supplied in bag packaging with 1303 units in stock. The MS3102R-18-1P is supplied in bulk packaging with 1151 units in stock. Packaging selection depends on assembly requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Is the MS3102R-18-1P suitable for military applications?

A: The MS3102R-18-1P conforms to MIL-DTL-5015 specifications and is designated for military applications. However, its RoHS non-compliant status and REACH affected designation may restrict use in certain military procurement environments with environmental compliance requirements.
