Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MA1RAP1701 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Shell Size: The substitute part must maintain 17 positions with M23-17 shell size to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and existing harness assemblies.

Contact Configuration: Contact type (crimp), contact size (1.0mm), and socket/pin orientation must remain identical to preserve pin-to-socket engagement specifications.

Mounting & Orientation: Panel mount configuration with right-angle orientation and threaded fastening must be preserved to maintain installation compatibility within existing enclosure designs.

Environmental & Compliance Ratings: Ingress protection (IP67), operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 130°C), material flammability (UL94 V-0), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) must be maintained or exceeded.

Connector Housing Type: Receptacle housing for female sockets or male pins configuration must remain consistent.

The MA7RAP1701 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing supply continuity for the obsolete MA1RAP1701.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: MA7RAP1701

The MA7RAP1701 is the direct equivalent for MA1RAP1701 applications. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 17-position M23-17 shell size, 1.0mm crimp contacts, panel mount right-angle configuration, threaded fastening, IP67 ingress protection, and operating temperature range of -20°C to 130°C.

The MA7RAP1701 belongs to the MotionGrade™ Elite M23 Signal Series and maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts carry equivalent regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

The primary distinction is that MA7RAP1701 includes a backshell feature in addition to rotatable functionality, while MA1RAP1701 features rotatable capability alone. This addition does not compromise compatibility with existing mating connectors or installation requirements.

For new designs or replacement applications, MA7RAP1701 is the recommended selection due to its active product status and enhanced feature set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MA7RAP1701 directly replace MA1RAP1701 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical 17-position M23-17 configuration, 1.0mm crimp contact specifications, panel mount right-angle orientation, and threaded fastening. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is preserved. The backshell feature on MA7RAP1701 does not interfere with mating connector engagement or panel installation.

Q: Are there differences in contact compatibility between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical crimp contact type and 1.0mm contact size specifications. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be sourced separately. Existing contact inventories are interchangeable between MA1RAP1701 and MA7RAP1701 housings.

Q: What is the significance of the backshell feature on MA7RAP1701?

A: The backshell is an additional mechanical component that provides strain relief and cable management functionality. It does not alter the connector's electrical performance, pin configuration, or mating interface. Its presence enhances mechanical robustness without affecting compatibility.

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

A: Yes. Both MA1RAP1701 and MA7RAP1701 are rated IP67 (dust tight, waterproof), operate across -20°C to 130°C temperature range, carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (unlimited) for both.

Q: Why is MA1RAP1701 classified as obsolete?

A: MA1RAP1701 is obsolete due to product lifecycle management by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp. MA7RAP1701 represents the active successor product within the MotionGrade™ Elite M23 Signal Series, providing equivalent functionality with enhanced features and ongoing manufacturing support.

Q: Are packaging differences relevant to component selection?

A: MA1RAP1701 packaging is listed as unspecified, while MA7RAP1701 is supplied in bulk packaging. For procurement purposes, bulk packaging typically offers cost efficiency for production quantities. Packaging does not affect component performance or compatibility.
