Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 10126-52B2VC is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 26 positions (non-negotiable)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows (non-negotiable)
• Connector Type: Plug (non-negotiable)
• Series Family: 3M 101 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) (non-negotiable)
• Mounting Configuration: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle (non-negotiable)
• Termination Method: Solder (non-negotiable)
• Connector Style: Center Strip Contacts (non-negotiable)
• Features: Board Lock and Shielding (non-negotiable)
• Contact Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin thickness (non-negotiable)
• Flange Specification: Housing/Shell (M2.6) (non-negotiable)

The substitute part 3M 10126-52B2PC meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active and RoHS3 compliant, whereas the main part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10126-52B2PC is the direct substitute for the obsolete 10126-52B2VC. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 26-position configuration, 2-row layout, center strip contact style, board lock and shielding features, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and M2.6 flange specification.

The primary advantage of selecting the 10126-52B2PC is its active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing designs while providing access to current manufacturing and supply chain support. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term supply assurance, the 10126-52B2PC is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems currently using the 10126-52B2VC, direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10126-52B2PC be used as a direct replacement for the 10126-52B2VC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The 10126-52B2PC is a direct substitute with no design modifications required. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance level.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: The 10126-52B2VC is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 10126-52B2PC is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support and supply availability. For new designs or production continuity, the active part number is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these two connector models?

A: The 10126-52B2VC packaging is not specified in the available data. The 10126-52B2PC is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement or supply chain team.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical or mechanical performance. Both connectors meet identical electrical specifications and are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for solder termination on through-hole PCB applications?

A: Yes. Both the 10126-52B2VC and 10126-52B2PC are specified for through-hole solder termination with right-angle panel mount configuration. Both support identical soldering processes and thermal profiles.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts with a finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm). This specification is identical across both part numbers.

Q: Are there any export or trade compliance considerations when switching to the 10126-52B2PC?

A: Both connectors carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. No change in export or trade compliance status occurs when substituting the 10126-52B2PC for the 10126-52B2VC.
