Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS101772 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 10
• Shell size - insert: 18-19
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Shell material: Aluminum alloy
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Contact finish: Silver
• Features: Backshell and coupling nut included
• Shielding: Unshielded configuration

The substitute part 97-3106A-18-19P, manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, meets all mandatory matching parameters. Both parts are rated for identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C) and share the same shell size designation, position count, and termination methodology. Both parts are classified as active products with RoHS non-compliant status and EAR99 export classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS101772 and 97-3106A-18-19P are active products suitable for industrial circular connector applications. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering considerations:

VS101772 (Radiall USA, Inc.):

• Specified current rating of 13A and voltage rating of 500VAC/700VDC provide explicit electrical performance parameters
• Green cadmium shell finish
• Chloroprene rubber insert material
• 973 units currently in stock

97-3106A-18-19P (Amphenol Industrial Operations):

• Electrical ratings not specified in available documentation
• Olive drab chromate over cadmium shell finish
• Diallyl phthalate insert material
• REACH affected status noted
• 691 units currently in stock
• Supports automotive and industrial applications

Both parts share identical mechanical and physical specifications, operating temperature range, and export classification. The primary differences are in shell finish specification, insert material composition, and documented electrical ratings. Selection should be based on application-specific requirements for electrical performance, environmental finish specifications, and material compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 97-3106A-18-19P directly replace the VS101772 in existing assemblies?

A: Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including shell size (18-19), position count (10), termination method (solder cup), fastening type (threaded), and mounting configuration (free hanging). Physical interchangeability is confirmed. Electrical performance compatibility depends on application requirements, as the substitute part does not specify current and voltage ratings in available documentation.

Q: What is the difference between the shell finishes?

A: The VS101772 features a green cadmium finish, while the 97-3106A-18-19P uses an olive drab chromate over cadmium finish. Both are cadmium-based finishes suitable for industrial applications. Selection between finishes depends on environmental exposure requirements and aesthetic specifications.

Q: Are there differences in the insert materials?

A: The VS101772 uses chloroprene rubber (CR) insert material, while the 97-3106A-18-19P uses diallyl phthalate (DAP). Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Material selection may impact chemical resistance and environmental compatibility in specific applications.

Q: What does RoHS non-compliant status mean for these parts?

A: Both parts are classified as RoHS non-compliant, indicating they contain restricted substances such as cadmium (present in the shell finish). These parts are suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not required. Applications subject to RoHS regulations require alternative compliant components.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The VS101772 is specified for industrial applications. The 97-3106A-18-19P is specified for both automotive and industrial applications. Application suitability should be confirmed against specific automotive qualification and performance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH affected status on the substitute part?

A: The 97-3106A-18-19P is marked as REACH affected, indicating it contains substances of concern under REACH regulations. This designation requires compliance verification for applications subject to REACH requirements. The VS101772 documentation does not specify REACH status.

Q: How do the current and voltage ratings compare?

A: The VS101772 specifies 13A current rating and 500VAC/700VDC voltage rating. The 97-3106A-18-19P does not provide electrical ratings in available documentation. For applications with defined electrical performance requirements, the VS101772 specifications should be used as reference parameters.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory shows 973 units of VS101772 and 691 units of 97-3106A-18-19P available as new original stock.
