Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete SDP-04BMMA-SL8001 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part MSDP-04BMMA-SL8001 maintains compatibility through the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical 4-position configuration
• Matching M12-4 shell size and insert specification
• Equivalent current rating (4A) and voltage rating (250V)
• Gold-plated mating contacts for consistent electrical performance
• Unshielded design matching the original specification

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical connector type (Receptacle, Male Pins)
• Matching solder cup termination method
• Threaded fastening type with D orientation
• Equivalent cable opening range (0.177" ~ 0.256")
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)

Environmental Compatibility:

• IP68 ingress protection rating maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) for both parts
• RoHS compliance status (original: RoHS Compliant; substitute: ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MSDP-04BMMA-SL8001 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete SDP-04BMMA-SL8001. Selection of this substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active product status with Amphenol LTW, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The original part is classified as obsolete, making the active substitute the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications. The substitute part carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4020, maintaining consistent export and tariff classification.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters for connector functionality are identical between the main part and substitute, including connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, and environmental ratings. The substitute part supports the same electrical specifications (4A at 250V) and environmental conditions (-40°C to 105°C, IP68 protection).

Material and Construction Differences: The substitute part features a zinc alloy shell with nickel finish and includes a coupling nut, compared to the polyamide shell of the original part. These material differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for the specified application parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MSDP-04BMMA-SL8001 be used as a direct replacement for the SDP-04BMMA-SL8001?

A: Yes. Both parts are 4-position M12 circular connectors with identical electrical ratings (4A, 250V), mechanical configuration (solder cup termination, threaded fastening, D orientation), and environmental specifications (IP68, -40°C to 105°C operating range). The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains all critical compatibility parameters.

Q: What are the differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are shell material composition and product status. The SDP-04BMMA-SL8001 features a polyamide (nylon, glass-filled) shell, while the MSDP-04BMMA-SL8001 uses a zinc alloy shell with nickel finish and includes a coupling nut. The substitute part is active product status, whereas the original is obsolete. These differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility for the specified application.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with cable termination?

A: No. Both connectors use identical solder cup termination methods with matching cable opening specifications (0.177" ~ 0.256" or 4.50mm ~ 6.50mm). Cable preparation and soldering procedures remain unchanged between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The original part carries RoHS Compliant status, while the substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant status. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard and indicates the substitute part meets all current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. This represents an improvement in regulatory alignment with no negative impact on application compatibility.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling or storage requirements during component handling and assembly.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in existing designs without modification?

A: Yes. The MSDP-04BMMA-SL8001 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for all critical parameters. No design modifications are required for connector interface, termination, or environmental performance.
