DC37P065HTX Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DC37P065HTX is a 37 Position D-Sub Plug connector with male pins, manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). This connector is designed for signal transmission applications requiring a standard D-Sub form factor with solder cup termination. The part is currently in active production with 746 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when supply chain optimization demands component consolidation across similar product lines.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DC37P065HTXLF qualifies as a direct substitute for the DC37P065HTX based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts maintain identical 37-position D-Sub plug architecture with male pins
• Shell Size and Layout: Both use Shell Size 4 (DC, C) designation
• Electrical Specifications: Matching 5A per contact current rating and 300V voltage rating
• Contact System: Identical gold-plated contact finish (GXT™) with 30.0µin thickness
• Termination: Both employ solder cup termination for PCB integration
• Environmental Compliance: Both are RoHS Compliant with identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Material Composition: Identical steel shell with tin plating and copper alloy contacts

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: DC37P065HTX is supplied in standard packaging, while DC37P065HTXLF is supplied in tray packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DC37P065HTX and DC37P065HTXLF are active production components with full RoHS compliance and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply availability:

• DC37P065HTX: Select when standard packaging format aligns with receiving and storage procedures
• DC37P065HTXLF: Select when tray packaging is required for automated assembly processes or when higher inventory availability (933 units) is prioritized

Both parts carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability at the circuit level. The base product number DC37P065 confirms these parts share the same core design platform.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DC37P065HTXLF be used as a direct replacement for DC37P065HTX?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (tray versus standard). They share identical connector specifications, contact ratings, and environmental compliance certifications.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in DC37P065HTXLF indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free or tray packaging format. In this case, it designates tray packaging. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage limitations when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and voltage rating (300V). Substitution does not introduce any thermal or electrical constraints.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only receiving, storage, and handling procedures. It does not impact electrical performance, contact integrity, or mechanical fit.

Q: What is the significance of the GXT™ contact finish?

A: GXT™ is Amphenol's proprietary gold plating specification. Both parts use this finish at 30.0µin thickness, ensuring consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance across both part numbers.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS Compliant, REACH Affected, and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. They meet the compliance requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
