Equivalent & Substitute Parts for P156-000-R

Part Overview

The P156-000-R is a D-Sub gender changer adapter manufactured by Tripp Lite, designed to connect two D-Sub 25 Pin Male connectors in a free hanging (in-line) configuration. This component functions as an adapter to extend or reconfigure D-Sub connector arrangements in legacy serial communication and parallel data transfer applications.

The P156-000-R is classified as an obsolete product. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and replacement operations in installed equipment.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the P156-000-R are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: Gender Changer (Male-to-Male configuration)
• Pin Configuration: D-Sub, 25 Pin Male on both adapter ends
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Shielding: Shielded construction
• Shell Material and Finish: Gold Plated
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Features: Grounding Indents present

The substitute part P156-000 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. The primary difference is packaging configuration (Bulk versus original packaging), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance in the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P156-000 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the P156-000-R. Both parts are manufactured by Tripp Lite and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for D-Sub 25 Pin Male-to-Male gender changer adapter applications.

Both parts carry obsolete product status, indicating they are no longer in active production. The P156-000 is available in Bulk packaging, whereas the P156-000-R was supplied in original packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or compatibility in installed systems.

The P156-000 carries RoHS3 Compliance certification, providing additional environmental regulatory alignment for new procurement activities. Both parts maintain identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications for export and tariff purposes.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than technical performance, as all functional parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P156-000 be used as a direct replacement for P156-000-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical D-Sub 25 Pin Male-to-Male gender changer adapters with shielded construction, gold-plated shells, and gold contacts. The only difference is packaging configuration (Bulk versus original packaging).

Q: What does "Gender Changer" mean in this context?

A: A gender changer adapter connects two connectors of the same gender. In this case, the P156-000-R and P156-000 both feature D-Sub 25 Pin Male connectors on both ends, allowing two male D-Sub cables or connectors to be joined together.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting P156-000 for P156-000-R?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts maintain identical pin configurations, row counts, shielding, contact materials, and mounting types. They are functionally interchangeable in all D-Sub 25 Pin Male-to-Male adapter applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "Grounding Indents" feature?

A: Grounding indents provide mechanical alignment and electrical grounding contact between the adapter shell and connected D-Sub connectors, ensuring proper shielding continuity and EMI protection in the connection.

Q: Why are both parts marked as obsolete?

A: Both the P156-000-R and P156-000 are classified as obsolete products, indicating they are no longer manufactured in active production runs. Obsolete status reflects the declining use of D-Sub connectors in modern applications, though these components remain in service in legacy systems.

Q: Does packaging affect the electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Bulk packaging and original packaging contain identical components. Packaging differences affect only storage, handling, and inventory management, not functional performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are REACH Unaffected (P156-000-R) or ROHS3 Compliant (P156-000). Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.69.8000 HTSUS code for regulatory and trade purposes.
