CA02COM-E20-27P Circular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CA02COM-E20-27P is a 14-position circular connector receptacle with male pins manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC. This connector is designed for panel mount applications with threaded fastening and solder cup termination. The part is currently active in production with 1100 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent connectors share the same critical functional parameters: connector type, number of positions, shell size, mounting configuration, and termination method. Identifying suitable alternatives ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and component availability across manufacturing environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CA02COM-E20-27P is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with male pins
• Number of positions: 14
• Shell size designation: 20-27
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening mechanism: Threaded
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-5015

The substitute part MS3102R-20-27P meets all critical parameters. Both connectors are 14-position receptacles with male pins, shell size 20-27, panel mount flange configuration, solder cup termination, and threaded fastening. Both conform to MIL-DTL-5015 military specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CA02COM-E20-27P Selection Criteria:

• Select when RoHS compliance is required for the application
• Select when IP65 ingress protection specification is mandatory
• Select when current rating of 22A and voltage rating of 50V are specified requirements
• Active production status with 1100 units in current inventory

MS3102R-20-27P Selection Criteria:

• Select when military heritage and MIL-DTL-5015 compliance alone satisfy application requirements
• Select when RoHS compliance is not a design constraint
• Active production status with 817 units in current inventory
• Note: RoHS non-compliant status and REACH affected designation require evaluation against end-use regulations

Both parts maintain identical connector functionality, mechanical compatibility, and operating temperature range. Selection between these substitutes depends on regulatory compliance requirements and electrical specification constraints specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MS3102R-20-27P directly replace CA02COM-E20-27P in all applications?

A: Both connectors share identical mechanical and functional parameters: 14-position receptacle, male pins, shell size 20-27, panel mount flange, solder cup termination, and threaded fastening. However, regulatory compliance differs. CA02COM-E20-27P is RoHS compliant; MS3102R-20-27P is RoHS non-compliant. Verify application regulatory requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the differences in electrical ratings?

A: CA02COM-E20-27P specifies 22A current rating and 50V voltage rating. MS3102R-20-27P does not provide current or voltage ratings in available documentation. Applications requiring specific electrical performance parameters should reference CA02COM-E20-27P specifications.

Q: Are the insert materials interchangeable?

A: CA02COM-E20-27P uses polychloroprene insert material; MS3102R-20-27P uses neoprene. Both materials function within the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Material selection depends on specific environmental exposure and chemical compatibility requirements of the application.

Q: What is the difference in shell finish?

A: CA02COM-E20-27P features nickel finish on aluminum alloy and zinc die cast shell. MS3102R-20-27P features olive drab chromate over cadmium finish on aluminum alloy shell. Finish selection affects corrosion resistance and environmental durability characteristics.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Both connectors conform to MIL-DTL-5015 military specifications. CA02COM-E20-27P is designated for automotive, aviation, industrial, instrumentation, military, and telecom applications. MS3102R-20-27P is designated for marine and military applications. Application-specific military standards should be reviewed for final selection.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: CA02COM-E20-27P has 1100 units in stock. MS3102R-20-27P has 817 units in stock. Both parts maintain active production status.
