Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS101761 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 4
• Shell size - insert: 14S-2
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Shell material: Aluminum alloy
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Contact finish: Silver
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Features: Backshell and coupling nut included
• Shielding: Unshielded

The substitute part 97-3106A-14S-2P manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent for the VS101761.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS101761 and 97-3106A-14S-2P are active production circular connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the critical parameters governing connector interchangeability. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Availability and Inventory: The VS101761 has 1051 pieces in stock, while the 97-3106A-14S-2P has 823 pieces available. Either part can be selected based on procurement lead time requirements and inventory status.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8536.69.4020), indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for export and tariff purposes.

Material Differences: The VS101761 uses Chloroprene Rubber (CR) for the insert material, while the 97-3106A-14S-2P uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP). Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The shell finish differs between green cadmium (VS101761) and olive drab chromate over cadmium (97-3106A-14S-2P), with both finishes providing equivalent corrosion protection for industrial applications.

Moisture Sensitivity: The 97-3106A-14S-2P is classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Application Scope: The 97-3106A-14S-2P is rated for both automotive and industrial applications, while the VS101761 is specified for industrial applications only. This makes the 97-3106A-14S-2P suitable for a broader range of deployment scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 97-3106A-14S-2P be used as a direct replacement for the VS101761?

A: Yes. The 97-3106A-14S-2P meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution, including connector type, pin configuration, shell size, termination method, fastening type, operating temperature range, and electrical ratings.

Q: Are there differences in the insert materials between these connectors?

A: Yes. The VS101761 uses Chloroprene Rubber (CR) while the 97-3106A-14S-2P uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP). Both materials are rated for the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and are suitable for industrial applications.

Q: Do the different shell finishes affect electrical performance?

A: No. The shell finish difference (green cadmium versus olive drab chromate over cadmium) does not affect electrical performance. Both finishes provide corrosion protection suitable for industrial environments.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: The 97-3106A-14S-2P carries an MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. The VS101761 lists MSL as Not Applicable. This difference does not affect field performance but may influence storage and handling procedures during procurement and warehousing.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The 97-3106A-14S-2P is rated for automotive and industrial applications. The VS101761 is specified for industrial applications only. If automotive qualification is required, the 97-3106A-14S-2P is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The VS101761 is rated for 13A. The current rating for the 97-3106A-14S-2P is not specified in the provided data. Verify current rating requirements with the application specification before final selection.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the VS101761 and 97-3106A-14S-2P are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative parts must be sourced.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: The VS101761 is rated for 200VAC and 250VDC. The voltage rating for the 97-3106A-14S-2P is not specified in the provided data. Verify voltage rating requirements with the application specification before final selection.
