3M 10136-72B2VC D-Sub 36-Position Right Angle Solder Connector

Part Overview

The 3M 10136-72B2VC is a 36-position D-Sub plug connector with right-angle solder termination, designed for panel mount through-hole applications. This connector features center strip contacts, board lock, and shielding in the 101 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring compatible 36-position D-Sub connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 10136-72B2VC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 36 positions (non-negotiable)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows (non-negotiable)
• Connector Type: Plug (non-negotiable)
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount, through-hole, right-angle orientation (non-negotiable)
• Termination Method: Solder (non-negotiable)
• Connector Style: Center strip contacts (non-negotiable)
• Flange Specification: Housing/Shell (M2.6) (non-negotiable)
• Shielding and Features: Board lock and shielded construction (non-negotiable)
• Contact Material and Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin thickness (non-negotiable)

The substitute part 10136-52B2PC maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 10136-72B2VC across all specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10136-52B2PC is the direct substitute for the obsolete 10136-72B2VC. Both connectors are manufactured by 3M within the same 101 Mini D Ribbon series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and contact finish.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 10136-72B2VC is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 10136-52B2PC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. For new designs, production continuity, and regulatory adherence, the 10136-52B2PC is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10136-52B2PC directly replace the 10136-72B2VC in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The 10136-52B2PC maintains the same 36-position configuration, 2-row layout, panel mount through-hole right-angle orientation, solder termination, center strip contacts, M2.6 housing, board lock, shielding, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 10136-72B2VC is obsolete. The 10136-52B2PC is the active equivalent part from 3M, ensuring supply chain continuity and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 10136-72B2VC packaging is not specified in the available data. The 10136-52B2PC is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the 10136-52B2PC meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 10136-52B2PC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The obsolete 10136-72B2VC is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are the connectors from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the 10136-72B2VC and 10136-52B2PC are manufactured by 3M and belong to the 101 Mini D Ribbon series.
