While reviewing the selection of circular connectors, it is important to find the complimentary pair to make a connection in completing a circuit. In searching for the mating connector, like part number 339-MS3102A24-11S-ND for example, there are a few attributes that we need to consider.
Using the product attributes below, we can find the connector that will mate with this product:
- Number of Positions: 9
- Shell Size Insert: 24-11
- Fastening Type: Threaded
- Orientation: N (Normal)
The suffix in the third position from the part number breakdown shows the “Service Class” information. This ensures that both the original and the mating connector are recommended for the same application.
Another note to add about the suffix information in the part number breakdown is that the sixth position designates whether the connector is the socket or pin option.
After reviewing all the information above, the part number that will mate with this connector is 339-MS3106A24-11P-ND.
Utilizing this step-by-step process allows you to find other circular connectors if you are having trouble finding the mate to the part.
