CONB14NF-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CONB14NF-A is a 4-position circular connector plug with female sockets and wire leads, manufactured by Carlo Gavazzi Inc. This M12-4 connector features gold-plated mating contacts, threaded fastening, and IP67 ingress protection suitable for industrial applications requiring dust-tight and waterproof connections. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CONB14NF-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both main and substitute parts must be 4-position plugs with female sockets
• Shell Size: M12-4 standard ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Termination Method: Wire leads termination must be maintained
• Fastening & Orientation: Threaded fastening with keyed orientation ensures proper mating
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating contacts for consistent electrical performance
• Ingress Protection: IP67 rating maintains environmental sealing requirements
• Electrical Ratings: Current (4A) and voltage (250VAC/DC) ratings must be met or exceeded
• Features: Backshell and coupling nut presence ensures mechanical integrity

The CONE14NF-A qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While certain material specifications and operating temperature ranges differ between the parts, the core functional and electrical parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CONE14NF-A is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete CONB14NF-A. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, fastening type, contact finish, ingress protection rating, and electrical ratings.

The CONE14NF-A offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 90°C) and holds active product status with current manufacturing availability. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial component sourcing.

Cable opening specification differs between parts (0.205" for CONE14NF-A versus 0.142" ~ 0.197" for CONB14NF-A), requiring verification of cable gauge compatibility during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CONE14NF-A directly replace CONB14NF-A in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, fastening type, orientation, contact finish, ingress protection rating, and electrical ratings. These parameters determine functional compatibility in M12-4 circular connector applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Operating temperature range is extended in CONE14NF-A (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 90°C). Cable opening specification differs (0.205" versus 0.142" ~ 0.197"). Backshell material composition differs (TPU versus PBT). CONE14NF-A is active product status with current availability, while CONB14NF-A is obsolete.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: CONE14NF-A carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. CONB14NF-A specifications do not include these compliance designations. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: Does cable gauge compatibility require consideration?

A: Yes. Cable opening specification for CONE14NF-A is 0.205" (5.20mm), while CONB14NF-A specifies 0.142" ~ 0.197" (3.60mm ~ 5.00mm). Verify cable gauge compatibility with the specific cable opening dimension during installation.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: CONB14NF-A is obsolete with 971 pieces in stock. CONE14NF-A is active product with 748 pieces in stock, providing ongoing availability for new applications and replacements.
