Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CT-44 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of circuits: 44
• Pitch spacing: 0.546" (13.86mm)
• Current rating: 30A minimum
• Voltage rating: 600V minimum
• Wire gauge compatibility: 10-22 AWG
• Top termination method: Screws
• Barrier type: 2 Wall (Dual)
• Operating temperature: 130°C minimum
• Insulation material: Polyester Thermoplastic
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The CDM-44 meets all substitution criteria as a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CDM-44 is the direct substitute for the CT-44. Both components are manufactured by Curtis Industries and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The CDM-44 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete CT-44.

The CDM-44 meets ROHS3 compliance, representing an updated regulatory status relative to the CT-44's RoHS Compliant designation. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical export classification under ECCN EAR99. The substitution presents no compliance or certification barriers for applications currently specified with the CT-44.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CDM-44 be used as a direct replacement for the CT-44 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The CDM-44 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the CT-44, including circuit count, pitch spacing, current and voltage ratings, wire gauge compatibility, termination method, and operating temperature range. Physical mounting and terminal connectivity are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between the CT-44 and CDM-44?

A: The CT-44 is obsolete while the CDM-44 carries active product status. The CDM-44 also reflects updated RoHS3 compliance versus the CT-44's RoHS Compliant designation. All functional and electrical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The CT-44 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The CDM-44 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application before procurement.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. The CDM-44 reflects ROHS3 compliance while the CT-44 carries RoHS Compliant designation. Both meet MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: What inventory status should I expect for each part?

A: The CT-44 has 1,080 pieces listed as new original in stock. The CDM-44 has 910 pieces listed as new original in stock. Verify current availability with your supplier before finalizing procurement decisions.
