Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RM24WTP-CP14(71) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer & Series: Must be Hirose Electric Co Ltd RM-W series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing RM-W series plugs
• Shell Size & Thread Size: Must maintain M24x0.75 threading and size 24 insert to ensure proper mechanical fit
• Material & Plating: Brass with nickel plating ensures equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity
• Cable Exit Orientation: 180° cable exit must be preserved for installation geometry compatibility
• Included Components: Cable clamp, gasket, screws, and washer must be present in the package

The substitute part RM24WTP-CP14(31) meets all these criteria while offering an active product status and improved ingress protection rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RM24WTP-CP14(31) is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RM24WTP-CP14(71). Both components share identical mechanical specifications, threading, material composition, and cable exit geometry, ensuring full compatibility with RM-W series plugs.

The RM24WTP-CP14(31) offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
• Enhanced Ingress Protection: IP68 rating provides superior dust and water resistance compared to the IP67 rating of the original part
• RoHS Compliance: Meets current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing
• Increased Cable Opening Tolerance: 0.571" (14.50mm) cable opening provides slightly greater accommodation for cable diameter variations

The minor increase in cable opening diameter (0.02 inches) remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for M24x0.75 threaded applications and does not compromise fit or function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RM24WTP-CP14(31) be used as a direct replacement for RM24WTP-CP14(71)?

A: Yes. Both components are Hirose Electric Co Ltd RM-W series cable clamps with identical M24x0.75 threading, 29.00mm outside diameter, 180° cable exit, and identical material specifications. The RM24WTP-CP14(31) is mechanically and electrically compatible with all applications designed for the RM24WTP-CP14(71).

Q: What is the difference in cable opening between these two parts?

A: The RM24WTP-CP14(71) has a 0.551" (14.00mm) cable opening, while the RM24WTP-CP14(31) has a 0.571" (14.50mm) cable opening. This 0.02-inch difference accommodates a slightly wider range of cable diameters without affecting mechanical integrity or sealing performance.

Q: Why is the ingress protection rating different?

A: The RM24WTP-CP14(31) provides IP68 protection (dust tight and waterproof under continuous immersion), compared to IP67 (dust tight and waterproof under temporary immersion) for the RM24WTP-CP14(71). This represents an improvement in environmental sealing capability.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with existing RM-W series plugs?

A: No. Both cable clamps are designed for use with RM-W series plugs and maintain identical mechanical interfaces, threading, and material specifications required for proper assembly and function.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The RM24WTP-CP14(71) packaging is not specified in available documentation. The RM24WTP-CP14(31) is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting between these parts?

A: The RM24WTP-CP14(31) is explicitly RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. RoHS status for the RM24WTP-CP14(71) is not specified. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the RM24WTP-CP14(31) is the appropriate selection.
