Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MA1RAP1201 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle Housing
• Number of Positions: 12
• Shell Size - Insert: M23-12
• Contact Type: Crimp
• Contact Size: 1.0mm
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Right Angle
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Shell Material: Zinc Die Cast
• Shell Finish: Nickel
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 130°C
• Shielding: Shielded
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part MA7RAP1201 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Differences in series designation (MotionGrade™ Elite M23 Signal Series versus MotionGrade™ M23 Signal Standard Series), product status (Active versus Obsolete), and specific features (inclusion of backshell) do not disqualify substitution when all electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MA7RAP1201 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete MA1RAP1201 based on complete alignment of all electrical and mechanical parameters that define connector compatibility and interchangeability.

Compliance and Regulatory Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Both are rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Product Availability: The MA1RAP1201 is obsolete with 1083 pieces in current inventory. The MA7RAP1201 is active with 1026 pieces in current inventory, ensuring ongoing supply chain access for new designs and replacement requirements.

Functional Equivalence: All critical parameters—shell size M23-12, 12-position configuration, 1.0mm crimp contacts, panel mount right-angle threaded fastening, IP67 ingress protection, and -20°C to 130°C operating range—are identical between both parts. The addition of a backshell feature in the MA7RAP1201 represents an enhancement rather than a deviation from the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MA7RAP1201 directly replace MA1RAP1201 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly. The M23-12 shell size, 12-position configuration, 1.0mm crimp contact system, panel mount right-angle threaded fastening, IP67 rating, and operating temperature range are identical. The backshell feature present in MA7RAP1201 does not prevent substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the MotionGrade™ M23 Signal Standard Series and MotionGrade™ Elite M23 Signal Series?

A: The series designation reflects product line evolution. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this connector housing. The Elite designation indicates the MA7RAP1201 is the current active product line offering.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with contact pins or sockets?

A: No. Both parts use identical 1.0mm crimp contact specifications. Existing contact assemblies designed for MA1RAP1201 are fully compatible with MA7RAP1201.

Q: Does the backshell feature on MA7RAP1201 affect panel mount installation?

A: No. Both parts share identical mounting type (Panel Mount, Right Angle), mounting feature (Flange), and fastening type (Threaded). The backshell is an additional protective feature that does not alter installation methodology.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: MA1RAP1201 packaging is listed as unspecified. MA7RAP1201 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This represents a logistical difference only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: MA1RAP1201 (Obsolete): 1083 pieces in stock. MA7RAP1201 (Active): 1026 pieces in stock. For new designs and long-term supply requirements, MA7RAP1201 is the recommended selection.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and share identical HTSUS code 8538.90.8180. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.
