UTXCFA0AM Photovoltaic Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UTXCFA0AM is a female coupler housing connector manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, designed for photovoltaic (solar panel) applications. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The UTXCFA0AM belongs to the UTX™ series and features Plus coding and keying for secure mating applications.

Due to its obsolete status, sourcing original inventory becomes increasingly difficult. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures continuity in system design, maintenance, and repair operations for existing photovoltaic installations utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UTXCFA0AM is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type: Female coupler housing
• Coding and keying: Plus configuration
• Application category: Photovoltaic (solar panel) connectors
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant status
• Environmental classification: Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited)
• Trade compliance: REACH unaffected and EAR99 classification

The H4CFC0DM substitute part satisfies all these parameters while maintaining active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support for photovoltaic connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Future Applications: The H4CFC0DM is the appropriate selection for photovoltaic connector applications. This part maintains active product status with Amphenol Industrial Operations, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and compliance with evolving regulatory standards. The H4CFC0DM carries identical RoHS compliance, REACH status, and trade classification as the UTXCFA0AM.

For Existing System Maintenance: The UTXCFA0AM remains functionally equivalent to the H4CFC0DM for replacement and repair operations in established photovoltaic installations. Both parts share identical connector type, keying configuration, and environmental ratings. The transition from UTX™ series to Helios H4 series represents a product line evolution rather than a functional change.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and maintain REACH unaffected status, supporting deployment in regulated markets. The EAR99 export classification applies uniformly to both components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the H4CFC0DM directly replace the UTXCFA0AM in existing photovoltaic systems?

A: Yes. Both components are female coupler housing connectors with Plus keying, identical moisture sensitivity ratings, and equivalent regulatory compliance. The functional specifications align across all provided parameters.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The UTXCFA0AM is classified as obsolete, meaning Amphenol Industrial Operations no longer manufactures this part. The H4CFC0DM, an active product in the Helios H4 series, provides equivalent functionality with assured long-term availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The UTXCFA0AM is supplied without specified packaging designation, while the H4CFC0DM is packaged in bags. This difference does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

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

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new photovoltaic connector designs?

A: The H4CFC0DM should be selected for new designs. As an active product with current manufacturer support, it ensures design continuity and eliminates obsolescence risk.

Q: Is the series change from UTX™ to Helios H4 significant for compatibility?

A: No. The series designation reflects Amphenol's product line organization. The functional parameters—connector type, keying, and electrical characteristics—remain equivalent between the two series.
