• Moisture Sensitivity: Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• Tariff Classification: Both share identical HTSUS code 8538.90.8180

The 165X10989X operates as a two-piece backshell assembly with 180° cable exit orientation, providing equivalent mechanical positioning and protective functions for 37-position D-Sub connector installations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Part number 165X10989X is the designated equivalent for L17160006 applications.

Justification:

• The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support
• Both parts satisfy identical RoHS compliance requirements (RoHS Compliant / ROHS3 Compliant)
• Regulatory classifications (ECCN, HTSUS) are identical, confirming equivalent export and tariff treatment
• MSL 1 rating on both parts confirms equivalent moisture handling characteristics
• 37-position D-Sub connector compatibility is confirmed for both assemblies
• Adequate inventory availability (1005 units) supports production and service requirements

Compliance Status: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards, while the original part carries RoHS compliance. Both designations confirm hazardous substance restrictions are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 165X10989X directly replace the L17160006 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are 37-position D-Sub connector accessories with identical position counts, RoHS compliance status, and MSL ratings. The substitute part is active and available, whereas the original is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant designations?

A: ROHS3 represents the current iteration of RoHS compliance standards. Both designations confirm that hazardous substances are restricted to equivalent levels. The substitute part carries the more current certification.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The original part L17160006 has 796 units in stock, while the substitute 165X10989X has 1005 units available. For new production, the substitute part is recommended due to active product status and higher inventory levels.

Q: Do both parts share the same export classification?

A: Yes. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS code 8538.90.8180, confirming equivalent regulatory treatment for international shipment and tariff purposes.

Q: What is the functional difference between a D-Sub hood and a backshell assembly?

A: The L17160006 is classified as a hood assembly, while the 165X10989X is a two-piece backshell with 180° cable exit. Both provide mechanical positioning and protection for 37-position D-Sub connectors. The backshell design includes integrated strain relief and shielding features.

Q: Is the 165X10989X compatible with both 37-position and HD62-position D-Sub connectors?

A: The substitute part is compatible with both 37-position and HD62-position D-Sub connector shells. This expanded compatibility does not affect substitution for 37-position applications.
