Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M24308/25-9F is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Accessory Type: Must be Jackscrew, Slotted
• Thread Size: Must be 4-40
• Features: Must include Clip design
• Application Compatibility: Must be suitable for D-Sub connector assemblies
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The substitute part 160-000-001R031 (NorComp Inc.) meets these core substitution criteria. Both components share identical thread specifications (4-40), identical accessory classification (Jackscrew, Slotted), and identical clip features. Both are designed for D-Sub connector applications and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (M24308/25-9F): Use when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable and MIL-C-24308 specification compliance is required. This part maintains active status with adequate inventory.

Substitute Selection (160-000-001R031): Use when ROHS3 compliance is mandated in the end application. This NorComp component provides equivalent mechanical and electrical functionality with superior compliance posture. The specified dimensional data (0.144" threaded length, 0.294" total length below head) confirms mechanical compatibility with standard D-Sub connector assemblies. Higher inventory availability (2075 units) supports supply chain continuity.

Compliance Consideration: Selection between these parts depends on whether the end-use application requires RoHS3 compliance. Both components share identical thread specifications and clip features, ensuring functional interchangeability in D-Sub connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if 160-000-001R031 can replace M24308/25-9F?

A: Both components share identical thread size (4-40), identical accessory type (Jackscrew, Slotted), and identical clip features. Both are designed for D-Sub connector applications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. Mechanical substitution is valid when compliance requirements permit.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: The 160-000-001R031 provides specified dimensions: 0.144" threaded length and 0.294" total length below head. The M24308/25-9F dimensions are not specified in available data. Standard D-Sub jackscrew specifications typically accommodate both geometries. Verify against your specific backshell or connector assembly documentation.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect functionality?

A: RoHS3 compliance in the 160-000-001R031 reflects material composition changes but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance in D-Sub connector applications. Selection is driven by end-product compliance requirements, not functional capability.

Q: Can I use either part interchangeably in my assembly?

A: Yes, provided your application permits the RoHS compliance status of the selected part. Both components meet the core substitution criteria: 4-40 thread size, slotted jackscrew design with clip, and D-Sub connector compatibility.

Q: Which part should I choose for new designs?

A: For new designs, 160-000-001R031 is preferred due to ROHS3 compliance and higher inventory availability. Use M24308/25-9F only when MIL-C-24308 specification compliance is explicitly required and RoHS non-compliance is acceptable.
