Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 10136-52B2VC has one direct substitute within the 3M 101 series: the 10136-52B2PC.

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions and Rows: Both parts maintain 36 positions in 2 rows
• Connector Type: Both are plug connectors
• Mounting Configuration: Both support panel mount, through-hole, right-angle installation
• Termination Method: Both use solder termination
• Connector Style: Both feature center strip contacts
• Features: Both include board lock and shielding
• Contact Finish: Both use gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Flange Specification: Both use M2.6 housing/shell
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the 3M 101 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference between these parts is the connector type designation (Board to Board vs. Panel Mount) and product status (Obsolete vs. Active).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10136-52B2PC is the direct substitute for the obsolete 10136-52B2VC. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pin count, contact configuration, mounting method, and termination type.

The 10136-52B2PC offers the following advantages for new designs and ongoing production:

• Active Product Status: The 10136-52B2PC maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
• RoHS3 Compliance: The substitute meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant
• Inventory Availability: 883 pieces of the 10136-52B2PC are in stock, compared to 684 pieces of the obsolete variant

For applications requiring the 10136-52B2VC, transition to the 10136-52B2PC without design modification. The electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10136-52B2PC directly replace the 10136-52B2VC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical specifications for number of positions (36), row configuration (2), connector type (plug), mounting method (panel mount, through-hole, right-angle), termination (solder), contact finish (gold, 30.0µin), and all mechanical features. Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the difference between the 10136-52B2VC and 10136-52B2PC?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 10136-52B2VC is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 10136-52B2PC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Why is the 10136-52B2VC classified as obsolete?

A: The 10136-52B2VC has been discontinued by 3M. The 10136-52B2PC serves as the active replacement within the 3M 101 Mini D Ribbon series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 10136-52B2VC is supplied in standard packaging, while the 10136-52B2PC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for production assembly and integration.

Q: Does the substitute meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 10136-52B2PC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both the 10136-52B2VC and 10136-52B2PC are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
