VS101968 CVS 02R 24-11S F4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VS101968 is a 9-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc., featuring female sockets with solder cup termination. This connector is designed for panel mount applications in industrial environments and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 801 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable, when inventory constraints exist, or when design flexibility permits component interchange. Substitutes must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VS101968 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 9
• Shell Size - Insert: 24-11
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish - Mating: Silver

The substitute part 97-3100A-24-11S, manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent for the VS101968.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS101968 and 97-3100A-24-11S are active production parts with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these components may be based on the following factors:

Inventory Availability: The 97-3100A-24-11S maintains higher inventory levels (1137 pieces) compared to the VS101968 (801 pieces), providing greater availability for immediate procurement.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.

Manufacturing Source: The VS101968 is sourced from Radiall USA, Inc., while the 97-3100A-24-11S is sourced from Amphenol Industrial Operations. Either manufacturer may be selected based on established supply chain relationships or procurement preferences.

Insert Material Variation: The VS101968 uses Chloroprene Rubber (CR) insert material, while the 97-3100A-24-11S uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) insert material. Both materials are compatible with the specified operating temperature range and electrical requirements.

Shell Finish Variation: The VS101968 features Green Cadmium finish, while the 97-3100A-24-11S features Olive Drab Chromate over Cadmium finish. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion protection for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 97-3100A-24-11S be used as a direct replacement for the VS101968?

A: Yes. The 97-3100A-24-11S meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, operating temperature range, and contact specifications.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: No electrical performance differences exist. Both parts feature identical connector type, position count, contact material, contact finish, and operating temperature specifications. The parts are electrically equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the insert materials used in these connectors?

A: The VS101968 uses Chloroprene Rubber (CR) insert material, while the 97-3100A-24-11S uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) insert material. Both materials are rated for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and are compatible with the connector's electrical requirements.

Q: Do the different shell finishes affect compatibility?

A: No. The Green Cadmium finish on the VS101968 and the Olive Drab Chromate over Cadmium finish on the 97-3100A-24-11S both provide corrosion protection suitable for industrial applications. The finish difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for industrial applications and maintain identical operating specifications across temperature, electrical, and mechanical parameters.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The 97-3100A-24-11S carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), while the VS101968 lists MSL as Not Applicable.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Panel mount flange configuration, threaded fastening, solder cup termination, and all electrical specifications are identical.
