LF10WBPD-12P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LF10WBPD-12P is a 12-position circular connector plug with male pins, solder cup termination, and bayonet lock fastening manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. This connector is designed for industrial and telecommunications applications requiring IP67/IP68 ingress protection and operates across -25°C to 85°C temperature range. The product status is obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for new designs and ongoing production support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LF10WBPD-12P(31) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Connector type, pin count, and shell size match exactly (Plug, Male Pins, 12 positions, Shell Size 10)
• Termination method is identical (Solder Cup)
• Fastening mechanism is identical (Bayonet Lock)
• Electrical ratings are equal or exceed the original (2A current, 30VAC/42VDC voltage)
• Ingress protection rating is equal or superior (IP67/IP68)
• Operating temperature range encompasses or matches the original (-25°C ~ 85°C)
• Contact finish and material composition are compatible (Gold plating, Copper Alloy contacts)
• Shielding configuration is identical (Shielded)

The LF10WBPD-12P(31) maintains all these parameters while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LF10WBPD-12P(31) is the direct equivalent for the obsolete LF10WBPD-12P. Selection of the substitute part is based on:

• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status providing regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards
• Equivalent contact finish thickness (7.87µin vs 8.00µin) maintaining signal integrity and mating durability
• Specified cable opening dimension (0.287" / 7.30mm) in the substitute part enabling precise assembly planning

No functional or performance degradation occurs with this substitution. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LF10WBPD-12P(31) be used as a direct replacement for LF10WBPD-12P?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, pin count, shell size, termination method, fastening mechanism, electrical ratings, and operating temperature range. The substitute maintains all functional and mechanical compatibility requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?
