Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VS102049 with the Amphenol Industrial Operations part number 97-3102A22-23P is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical 8-position connector configuration
• Matching shell size designation (22-23)
• Identical silver contact finish for mating surfaces
• Copper alloy contact material in both parts
• Unshielded configuration in both designs
• Operating temperature range alignment (-55°C ~ 125°C)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel mount configuration with flange mounting feature
• Threaded fastening mechanism
• Solder cup termination method
• Aluminum alloy shell construction
• Receptacle connector type with male pins

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors serve identical applications in industrial environments and maintain the same physical form factor, pin count, and electrical interface characteristics. The substitute part is manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations and carries active product status with 767 units in stock inventory.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VS102049 and 97-3102A22-23P maintain active product status and are suitable for industrial applications requiring 8-position circular connectors with solder cup termination. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Inventory Availability: The VS102049 has 1018 units in stock, while the 97-3102A22-23P has 767 units available. Procurement decisions may prioritize availability based on project timeline requirements.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4020) classifications. Both are RoHS non-compliant. The 97-3102A22-23P carries REACH Affected status, which may impact supply chain documentation requirements in certain regulatory jurisdictions.

Insert Material Variation: The VS102049 uses Chloroprene Rubber (CR) insert material, while the 97-3102A22-23P uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP). Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range and industrial applications. Insert material selection may be driven by specific environmental exposure or chemical compatibility requirements.

Shell Finish Specification: The VS102049 features green cadmium finish, while the 97-3102A22-23P features olive drab chromate over cadmium finish. Both finishes provide corrosion protection suitable for industrial environments. Finish selection may be determined by existing system color coding or environmental specifications.

Moisture Sensitivity: The VS102049 carries Not Applicable MSL rating, while the 97-3102A22-23P carries MSL 1 (Unlimited). This distinction does not impact solder cup termination processes but may affect storage and handling protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the VS102049 and 97-3102A22-23P electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical 8-position configurations, silver-plated copper alloy contacts, and matching operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C). The electrical interface and mating characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are insert material composition (Chloroprene Rubber versus Diallyl Phthalate) and shell finish specification (green cadmium versus olive drab chromate over cadmium). Both variations maintain functional equivalence for industrial applications.

Q: Can I use the 97-3102A22-23P as a direct replacement for the VS102049 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (22-23), mounting configuration (panel mount with flange), termination method (solder cup), and fastening type (threaded). Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4020) classifications and are RoHS non-compliant. The 97-3102A22-23P carries REACH Affected status, which may require additional documentation in certain supply chain scenarios.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The VS102049 is rated for 23A continuous current. Current rating information for the 97-3102A22-23P is not provided in the available technical specifications.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: The VS102049 carries Not Applicable MSL rating. The 97-3102A22-23P carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard industrial component storage practices apply to both parts.

Q: What applications are these connectors designed for?

A: The VS102049 is specified for industrial applications. The 97-3102A22-23P is specified for automotive and industrial applications. Both are suitable for industrial use cases.

Q: Are these connectors shielded?

A: No. Both the VS102049 and 97-3102A22-23P are unshielded connectors. Applications requiring electromagnetic shielding require alternative connector designs.
