10150-5212PC D-Sub 50 Position Right Angle Solder Connector

Part Overview

The 10150-5212PC is a 50 position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by 3M, designed for panel mount through-hole applications with right-angle solder termination. This connector belongs to the 101 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series and features center strip contacts with gold-plated finishes. The part maintains active product status with 1139 units in current inventory stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when they share the same electrical and mechanical specifications: 50 position count, 2-row configuration, right-angle mounting orientation, solder termination method, and compatible connector geometry. Substitute identification becomes necessary for supply chain continuity, alternative sourcing options, or when original manufacturer stock becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 10150-5212PC are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: 50 positions (electrical compatibility requirement)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows (mechanical fit requirement)
• Mounting Orientation: Right angle (physical installation requirement)
• Termination Method: Solder (assembly process compatibility)
• Connector Category: D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors (form factor requirement)
• Shielding: Shielded design (electromagnetic compatibility)

The substitute part 787170-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets these core substitution criteria. While manufactured by a different supplier and belonging to the AMPLIMITE .050 III series rather than the 101 MDR series, it maintains functional equivalence through identical position count, row configuration, right-angle mounting, and solder termination specifications. Both parts are active products with RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings, ensuring compatibility in modern electronics manufacturing environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 10150-5212PC and 787170-5 maintain active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. The 10150-5212PC carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electronics manufacturing.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements:

The 10150-5212PC is the primary choice when 3M series compatibility, panel mount configuration, or existing design specifications require the 101 MDR series connector.

The 787170-5 serves as a functional substitute when TE Connectivity sourcing is preferred, board edge mounting is acceptable, or when the additional board lock feature provides design advantages. The specified voltage rating (30V) and current rating (1A) of the 787170-5 should be verified against application requirements.

Both connectors support solder termination and maintain identical position and row configurations, ensuring electrical compatibility in 50-position D-Sub applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 787170-5 directly replace 10150-5212PC in existing designs?

A: Functional substitution is possible when the application tolerates the difference between plug (10150-5212PC) and receptacle (787170-5) connector types, and when board edge mounting is compatible with the original panel mount specification. Mechanical fit and mating interface must be verified for the specific application.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: The 50-position count, 2-row configuration, right-angle orientation, and solder termination are the primary determinants of substitution compatibility. Both parts maintain these specifications, ensuring electrical and mechanical equivalence in D-Sub connector applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 10150-5212PC carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The 787170-5 RoHS status is listed as not applicable. Applications requiring specific RoHS compliance should reference the 10150-5212PC or verify TE Connectivity compliance documentation for the 787170-5.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 10150-5212PC is supplied in box packaging, while the 787170-5 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging selection may affect inventory management and component handling procedures.

Q: Are operating temperature specifications available for both parts?

A: Operating temperature is not specified for the 10150-5212PC. The 787170-5 operates across -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring specific temperature performance should verify the 10150-5212PC specifications with 3M or select the 787170-5 when the stated temperature range is acceptable.
