Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CX70M-24P2 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. All substitute connectors share the following mandatory characteristics:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-C (USB TYPE-C)
• USB Specification: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB 3.1 Gen 2, Superspeed + (USB 3.1))
• Gender: Receptacle
• Number of Contacts: 24
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell/Shielding Material: Steel, Stainless
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)
• Product Status: Active
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may differ in operating temperature range, current rating, voltage rating, mating cycles, material flammability rating, and insulation color, provided these variations do not compromise the connector's functional role in USB 3.2 Gen 2 applications. All substitutes maintain RoHS3 compliance or equivalent environmental standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC (FCI) Substitutes:

The three Amphenol ICC alternatives (10137064-00011LF, 10152803-00011LF, 10163259-00011LF) are ROHS3 compliant and maintain full USB 3.2 Gen 2 functionality with identical mechanical and electrical core specifications. Part 10152803-00011LF operates within a narrower temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) compared to the CX70M-24P2 (-30°C to 105°C), making it suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. Part 10137064-00011LF extends the lower temperature limit to -55°C, supporting extended temperature range applications. All three Amphenol ICC parts support 10,000 mating cycles and 5A current rating, matching the primary use case of the CX70M-24P2.

Switchcraft Inc. Substitutes:

The Switchcraft RAHUC31AU1TR operates at 3A current rating with a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. The RAHUC31AUTR supports 5A current rating at 20VDC with 1,000 mating cycles. Both Switchcraft connectors are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The reduced mating cycle specification (1,000 cycles for RAHUC31AUTR) indicates suitability for applications with lower connector engagement frequency.

Selection Criteria:

Choose substitutes based on application-specific requirements: temperature extremes, current demands, mating cycle frequency, and voltage specifications. All listed substitutes maintain active product status and are available in Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CX70M-24P2 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the substitute part meets or exceeds the operating temperature range, current rating, voltage rating, and mating cycle requirements of your specific application. All substitutes share identical USB 3.2 Gen 2 specifications, 24-contact configuration, surface mount right-angle mounting, and solder termination. Verify that the substitute's electrical and thermal specifications align with your design requirements before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC and Switchcraft alternatives?

A: Amphenol ICC parts (10137064-00011LF, 10152803-00011LF, 10163259-00011LF) maintain 10,000 mating cycles and support 5A current rating across all three variants. Switchcraft parts differ in mating cycle specifications: RAHUC31AU1TR supports 3A current with unspecified mating cycles, while RAHUC31AUTR supports 5A current with 1,000 mating cycles. Temperature range specifications vary across all substitutes; select based on your application's thermal environment.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The CX70M-24P2 is RoHS compliant, and all five substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant or equivalent. Amphenol ICC parts 10152803-00011LF and Switchcraft parts RAHUC31AU1TR and RAHUC31AUTR carry REACH Unaffected status, providing additional environmental compliance documentation.

Q: What packaging format is used for all these connectors?

A: All parts, including the CX70M-24P2 and all five substitutes, are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges affect part selection?

A: The CX70M-24P2 operates from -30°C to 105°C. Amphenol ICC part 10137064-00011LF extends the lower limit to -55°C for extreme cold environments. Parts 10152803-00011LF and RAHUC31AU1TR operate to -25°C and -30°C respectively, with upper limits at 85°C. Select based on your application's minimum and maximum operating temperatures.

Q: What is the significance of mating cycle ratings?

A: Mating cycles indicate connector durability under repeated engagement and disengagement. The CX70M-24P2 and most substitutes support 10,000 cycles. Switchcraft RAHUC31AUTR supports 1,000 cycles, suitable for applications with infrequent connector mating. High-cycle applications require parts rated at 10,000 cycles or higher.

Q: Can I use a substitute with lower current rating than the CX70M-24P2?

A: No. The Switchcraft RAHUC31AU1TR is rated at 3A, below the CX70M-24P2's 5A specification. Use this part only if your application's actual current draw does not exceed 3A. For applications requiring 5A, select from CX70M-24P2, 10137064-00011LF, 10152803-00011LF, 10163259-00011LF, or RAHUC31AUTR.
