Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RM12WBP-CP(4) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: 12
• Thread Size: M13x0.75
• Cable Opening: 0.217" (5.50mm)
• Diameter - Outside: 0.630" (16.00mm)
• Cable Exit: 180°
• Material composition: Brass, Zinc Alloy
• Plating: Nickel
• Ingress Protection rating: IP67
• Included components: 4 pcs (2 pc Clamp, 1 Gasket, 1 Washer)

The RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical values across all mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters. Functional differences are limited to internal clamp design and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RM12WBP-CP(4) and RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

The RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) is RoHS Compliant, making it the preferred choice for applications subject to RoHS directives or where compliance documentation is required for supply chain qualification.

The RM12WBP-CP(4) is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when legacy system compatibility or existing inventory constraints necessitate its use.

Both parts carry identical mechanical specifications, environmental ratings, and functional characteristics. The internal clamp design variation in the RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) does not alter mechanical compatibility or performance within RM-W series connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are RM12WBP-CP(4) and RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical external dimensions, thread specifications (M13x0.75), cable opening diameter (5.50mm), and mounting geometry. The internal clamp design difference does not affect mechanical fit or assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) is RoHS Compliant, while the RM12WBP-CP(4) is RoHS non-compliant. Both maintain identical IP67 environmental sealing, material composition, and functional performance.

Q: Can RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) is a direct substitute with no design modifications required. It is compatible with all RM-W series plugs and maintains the same cable management specifications.

Q: What does the packaging difference indicate?

A: The RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) is supplied in bag packaging, while the RM12WBP-CP(4) packaging is unspecified. This is a logistics consideration only and does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for IP67-rated applications?

A: Yes. Both the RM12WBP-CP(4) and RM12WBP-CP(4)(71) maintain IP67 ingress protection ratings and include integrated gasket and washer components for dust-tight and waterproof sealing.
