Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 10150-52E2PC qualifies as a direct substitute for the 10150-52E2VC based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Both are 50 position plug connectors with center strip contacts
• Electrical Configuration: Identical 50 position, 2 row arrangement
• Mounting & Termination: Both feature panel mount, through hole, right angle solder termination
• Mechanical Interface: Matching Housing/Shell (4-40) flange feature with board lock and shielding
• Contact Specifications: Identical gold finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Environmental Rating: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Series Compatibility: Both belong to the 3M 101 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series

The primary distinction is product status: the 10150-52E2PC is active production, whereas the 10150-52E2VC is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10150-52E2PC is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 10150-52E2VC. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the 3M 101 Mini D Ribbon series, ensuring direct form, fit, and function compatibility.

The 10150-52E2PC offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Additionally, the 10150-52E2PC carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply requirements and regulatory compliance needs. For new designs or applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 10150-52E2PC is the specified choice. For legacy system maintenance where the original 10150-52E2VC is no longer available, the 10150-52E2PC provides equivalent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10150-52E2PC directly replace the 10150-52E2VC in existing assemblies?
