To continue to offer high quality, exceptional value, and improved competitiveness in their HI-CONTM (DIN 41612) Products ITW Pancon is introducing several changes in the 100, 101, 105, 106, 120, and 130 Series Connector Lines. Not all, but many of their HI-CONTM part numbers will be part of these changes. To this end, they will be implementing technical improvements as well as logistical changes.
The technical aspects of the modifications can be explained in more detail and samples and data sheets will be made available. None of the proposed changes will affect the DIN 41612 Specifications or the form, fit, and function of the connectors. They will maintain their current part numbering schemes; however, minor part differences may exist. The entire 105 Series of Type M connectors and contacts will be made obsolete with no replacement.
The logistical changes include new packaging and package quantities as well as minimum order quantities (MOQ) for many of the HI-CONTM parts. These changes may also include changes to the A/B/C Codes. "A" parts are more common and should be available from stock. "B" parts have lower usage and may or may not be available from stock. "C" parts are "build to order", lower volume parts and are NCNR. Some of the "C" parts may be removed from the product listing and made obsolete. A list of obsolete part numbers with possible replacements is attached for your reference.
If no replacement is offered, Sager can contact the Factory to see if any may still be available for a last time buy. Please note that ITW Pancon does maintain tooling to enable us to technically support some of the discontinued "C" parts provided substantial order quantities are received.
