Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MA2RAE1201 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions: 12
• Shell size designation: M23-12
• Connector type: Receptacle housing for female sockets or male pins
• Contact type: Crimp with 1.0mm contact size
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with right-angle backshell
• Fastening mechanism: Push-Twist
• Ingress protection rating: IP67

Environmental and Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 130°C
• Shell material: Zinc die cast with nickel finish
• Shielding: Shielded
• RoHS3 compliance
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The MA5RAE1201 satisfies all substitution criteria as an active product within the same MotionGrade™ M23 Signal Standard Series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current manufacturing status and supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

The MA5RAE1201 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete MA2RAE1201. Both components maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications across all critical parameters. The MA5RAE1201 holds active product status, ensuring current manufacturing support and supply chain availability.

Compliance and Certification Basis:

• Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Both are classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) codes
• Both operate within the -20°C ~ 130°C temperature range with IP67 ingress protection

The substitution is direct and unconditional from an engineering standpoint. The MA5RAE1201 is available in bulk packaging with 920 pieces in current stock, providing immediate supply availability for production and field service requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MA5RAE1201 be used as a direct replacement for MA2RAE1201 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MA5RAE1201 is electrically and mechanically identical to the MA2RAE1201 across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, shell size, contact configuration, mounting method, and environmental ratings. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between MA2RAE1201 and MA5RAE1201?

A: The primary difference is product status. The MA2RAE1201 is obsolete, while the MA5RAE1201 is active. The MA5RAE1201 is also supplied in bulk packaging. All electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications are identical.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use crimp-type contacts with 1.0mm contact size, designed for female sockets or male pins within the M23-12 shell size configuration.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, UL94 V-0 rated, and maintain IP67 ingress protection. Both operate across the -20°C ~ 130°C temperature range.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The MA2RAE1201 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The MA5RAE1201 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for production quantities.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the MA2RAE1201 and MA5RAE1201 are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the insert.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in field service applications?

A: Yes. The MA5RAE1201 is a complete functional equivalent and can be used in any application previously specified for the MA2RAE1201.
