Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CA02COML18-1PB are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle with male pins
• Number of positions: 10
• Shell size - insert: 18-1
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-5015
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact material: Copper alloy with silver mating finish
• Ingress protection: IP67 or equivalent environmental resistance

Acceptable Variations:

• Termination method: Solder or solder cup
• Fastening type: Reverse bayonet lock or threaded
• Shell finish: Nickel or olive drab chromate
• Insert material: Polychloroprene or neoprene
• Packaging configuration: Bulk or standard

The MS3102R-18-1P meets these criteria and is qualified as a substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CA02COML18-1PB and MS3102R-18-1P are active production parts with equivalent MIL-DTL-5015 series compliance. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

CA02COML18-1PB is the primary specification when:

• Reverse bayonet lock fastening is required
• Solder termination is specified in the design
• Nickel shell finish is required for corrosion resistance in specific environments
• Polychloroprene insert material is specified

MS3102R-18-1P is suitable as a substitute when:

• Threaded fastening is acceptable in the application
• Solder cup termination is compatible with assembly processes
• Olive drab chromate finish meets environmental requirements
• Neoprene insert material is acceptable
• Military applications with standard MIL-DTL-5015 compliance are required

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance with 22A current rating capability, copper alloy contacts with silver mating finish, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Both are RoHS non-compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MS3102R-18-1P be used as a direct replacement for CA02COML18-1PB?

A: MS3102R-18-1P is functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 10-position, 18-1 shell size circular connector receptacle with male pins and MIL-DTL-5015 compliance. However, differences in fastening type (threaded vs. reverse bayonet lock) and termination method (solder cup vs. solder) must be evaluated against specific design requirements. Mechanical fit and assembly compatibility must be verified for the application.

Q: What are the key differences in termination between these parts?

A: CA02COML18-1PB uses solder termination, requiring direct solder connection to PCB pads or wire leads. MS3102R-18-1P uses solder cup termination, which provides a cup-shaped contact for wire insertion and soldering. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical performance but differ in assembly procedure and mechanical interface.

Q: Are the shell finishes interchangeable?

A: Shell finish differences (nickel vs. olive drab chromate over cadmium) affect corrosion resistance and environmental performance. Nickel finish provides superior corrosion resistance in general industrial environments. Olive drab chromate finish is standard for military applications. Selection depends on the specific environmental exposure and application requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental protection standards?

A: CA02COML18-1PB specifies IP67 (dust tight, waterproof). MS3102R-18-1P specifies environment resistant. Both parts are designed for harsh environmental conditions and maintain equivalent operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). Specific environmental testing requirements should be verified against application specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the insert material difference?

A: CA02COML18-1PB uses polychloroprene insert material, while MS3102R-18-1P uses neoprene. Both materials provide equivalent electrical insulation and mechanical support for the 10-position contact arrangement. Material selection is based on manufacturing process and environmental compatibility. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: CA02COML18-1PB has 1046 units in stock. MS3102R-18-1P has 1151 units in stock. Both parts are in active production with adequate inventory availability for procurement planning.
