Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 97-3106A-14S-6P manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations is classified as an equivalent substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Position count: 6 positions
• Shell size: 14S-6 (identical mechanical interface)
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening mechanism: Threaded coupling nut
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Shell material: Aluminum alloy
• Contact finish: Silver plating on mating surfaces
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Backshell and coupling nut features present
• Unshielded configuration
• HTSUS classification: 8536.69.4020

Differing Parameters:

• Shell finish: VS101764 uses green cadmium; 97-3106A-14S-6P uses olive drab chromate over cadmium
• Insert material: VS101764 uses chloroprene rubber (CR); 97-3106A-14S-6P uses diallyl phthalate (DAP)
• Color designation: Green versus olive drab
• Current and voltage ratings: Not specified for the substitute part
• RoHS compliance: Both are non-compliant
• REACH status: Substitute part is REACH affected

The substitute part maintains mechanical and electrical interface compatibility through identical shell size, position count, termination type, and fastening mechanism.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (VS101764): The VS101764 remains the preferred selection when available. This part is actively manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc., with documented current and voltage ratings (13A at 200VAC/250VDC) and specified insert material composition. The part is in active product status with established inventory levels.

Substitute Part Selection (97-3106A-14S-6P): The 97-3106A-14S-6P from Amphenol Industrial Operations is suitable as a substitute when the primary part is unavailable. This part maintains identical mechanical interface compatibility through matching shell size (14S-6), position count (6), termination method (solder cup), and fastening mechanism (threaded). Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and feature silver-plated copper alloy contacts.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99). The substitute part carries REACH affected status, which may require additional documentation in certain procurement contexts. Both parts are classified under the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4020).

Material Differences: The substitute part uses diallyl phthalate (DAP) insert material in place of the primary part's chloroprene rubber (CR) insert. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range. The shell finish differs (green cadmium versus olive drab chromate over cadmium), which may affect corrosion resistance characteristics in specific environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 97-3106A-14S-6P be used as a direct replacement for the VS101764?

A: Yes, the 97-3106A-14S-6P is mechanically and electrically compatible as a substitute. Both connectors share identical shell size (14S-6), position count (6), solder cup termination, threaded fastening, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The connectors will mate with the same receptacle interfaces.

Q: What are the differences in insert material between these two parts?

A: The VS101764 uses chloroprene rubber (CR) insert material, while the 97-3106A-14S-6P uses diallyl phthalate (DAP). Both materials are rated for the same operating temperature range and provide suitable electrical insulation properties for this connector category.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: The VS101764 has documented ratings of 13A current and 200VAC/250VDC voltage. The 97-3106A-14S-6P does not have current and voltage ratings specified in the available documentation. When electrical ratings are critical to the application, the primary part specifications should be referenced.

Q: Do both parts have the same shell finish?

A: No. The VS101764 features green cadmium shell finish, while the 97-3106A-14S-6P uses olive drab chromate over cadmium. Both finishes provide corrosion protection, but the specific finish may affect appearance and corrosion resistance in particular environmental conditions.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The 97-3106A-14S-6P is marked as REACH affected, which may require additional compliance documentation depending on procurement jurisdiction and end-use application.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The VS101764 has 1047 pieces in stock. The 97-3106A-14S-6P has 1461 pieces in stock. Inventory levels should be confirmed at the time of procurement.

Q: Are the backshell and coupling nut features present on both parts?

A: Yes, both the VS101764 and 97-3106A-14S-6P include backshell and coupling nut features as standard components.

Q: Can these connectors be used in automotive applications?

A: The VS101764 is specified for industrial applications. The 97-3106A-14S-6P is rated for both automotive and industrial applications. Application suitability should be confirmed based on specific end-use requirements.
