Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DRC10-24PB-A004 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector category: Rectangular Connectors
• Position count: 24 positions
• Connector function: Receptacle assembly
• Base series: DRC10
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH status: REACH Affected
• ECCN classification: EAR99
• HTSUS code: 8536.69.4030

The substitute part DRC10-24PA-A004 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters, ensuring functional and regulatory equivalence. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the product status transition from obsolete to active production, along with packaging configuration differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DRC10-24PA-A004 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete DRC10-24PB-A004. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Product Status: The substitute part holds active production status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete main part.

Functional Equivalence: Identical connector specifications, position count, and base series designation confirm functional interchangeability within applications originally designed for the DRC10-24PB-A004.

Classification Alignment: Matching ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4030) codes confirm equivalent export control and tariff classification.

Moisture Sensitivity: The main part specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DRC10-24PA-A004 be used as a direct replacement for the DRC10-24PB-A004?

A: Yes. The DRC10-24PA-A004 is functionally equivalent to the DRC10-24PB-A004 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector category, position count, receptacle assembly function, and base series designation.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is product status. The DRC10-24PB-A004 is obsolete, while the DRC10-24PA-A004 is in active production. Additionally, the substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging is not specified.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the DRC10-24PB-A004 and DRC10-24PA-A004 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Does moisture sensitivity differ between these parts?

A: The DRC10-24PB-A004 specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. The DRC10-24PA-A004 lists moisture sensitivity as not applicable, which is consistent with the connector assembly classification.

Q: Are there any export control restrictions on these parts?

A: Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99, which is the standard classification for most commercial electronic components and does not impose additional export restrictions beyond standard regulations.

Q: What is the HTSUS code used for?

A: The HTSUS code 8536.69.4030 is used for tariff classification and customs purposes. Both parts share this identical code, confirming equivalent tariff treatment.
