Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS101784 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 48
• Shell Size - Insert: 36-10
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount with Flange
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Shell Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Silver
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Backshell Feature: Present
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

The substitute part 97-3100A-36-10P, manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, meets all mandatory matching parameters. Both connectors are classified as circular connectors with identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring 48-position panel-mount receptacles with solder cup termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS101784 and 97-3100A-36-10P are active production parts with identical mechanical interfaces and electrical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

VS101784 (Radiall USA, Inc.):

• Insert Material: Chloroprene Rubber (CR)
• Shell Finish: Green Cadmium
• Current Rating: 13A
• Voltage Rating: 500VAC, 700VDC
• Inventory: 880 units

97-3100A-36-10P (Amphenol Industrial Operations):

• Insert Material: Diallyl Phthalate (DAP)
• Shell Finish: Olive Drab Chromate over Cadmium
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Affected
• Inventory: 1127 units

Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99. The primary differences are insert material composition and shell finish specification. Applications requiring specific insert material properties or environmental compliance certifications should reference the detailed material specifications for each part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 97-3100A-36-10P directly replace the VS101784 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, including 48-position configuration, 36-10 shell size, panel-mount flange, threaded fastening, and solder cup termination. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in insert material between these parts?

A: The VS101784 uses Chloroprene Rubber (CR) for the insert, while the 97-3100A-36-10P uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP). Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Material selection should be based on application-specific environmental and chemical exposure requirements.

Q: Are there differences in shell finish specifications?

A: Yes. The VS101784 features a Green Cadmium finish, while the 97-3100A-36-10P has an Olive Drab Chromate over Cadmium finish. Both finishes provide corrosion protection for aluminum alloy shells. Selection should be based on environmental exposure conditions and aesthetic requirements.

Q: What are the current and voltage ratings for each part?

A: The VS101784 is rated for 13A at 500VAC or 700VDC. Current and voltage ratings are not specified in the available data for the 97-3100A-36-10P. Applications requiring specific electrical performance should reference the complete technical specifications from the respective manufacturers.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the VS101784 and 97-3100A-36-10P are RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements require alternative component selection.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for each part?

A: The VS101784 has MSL listed as Not Applicable. The 97-3100A-36-10P has MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Are there REACH compliance differences?

A: The REACH status is not specified for the VS101784. The 97-3100A-36-10P is listed as REACH Affected. Applications subject to REACH regulations should verify compliance status with the respective manufacturers.

Q: What inventory levels are available?

A: The VS101784 has 880 units in stock. The 97-3100A-36-10P has 1127 units in stock. Both are available as new original parts in bulk packaging.
