Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 10214-55G3VC is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters: 14-position receptacle configuration, 2-row arrangement, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, outer shroud contact style, M2.6 housing/shell flange, and gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in existing circuit board layouts and connector mating interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3M 10214-55G3PC is the primary direct substitute, maintaining identical specifications to the obsolete 10214-55G3VC while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the preferred selection for applications requiring exact electrical and mechanical compatibility with minimal design modification.

TE Connectivity 2-5178238-1 provides functional equivalence across all core parameters with active product status and RoHS compliance. This option is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and where the absence of shielding does not impact system performance.

Hirose DX10G1M-14SE(50) offers functional compatibility as a Miniature High Density (HD) variant with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This option is appropriate for applications where the HD form factor is compatible with existing mechanical interfaces and where the absence of shielding is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10214-55G3PC directly replace the obsolete 10214-55G3VC? A: Yes. The 10214-55G3PC maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 14-position configuration, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, M2.6 flange, gold contact finish, board lock, and shielding. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the 3M and TE Connectivity substitutes? A: Both maintain the 14-position receptacle configuration, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and M2.6 flange. The TE Connectivity 2-5178238-1 does not include shielding, whereas the 3M 10214-55G3PC retains the shielded feature of the original part.

Q: Is the Hirose DX10G1M-14SE(50) a suitable replacement? A: The Hirose part maintains all core electrical and mechanical parameters: 14-position receptacle, 2-row configuration, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, M2.6 flange, and gold contact finish. It is classified as Miniature High Density (HD) and does not include shielding. Compatibility depends on whether the HD form factor and absence of shielding are acceptable for the specific application.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes? A: The 3M 10214-55G3PC is supplied in bulk packaging. The TE Connectivity 2-5178238-1 and Hirose DX10G1M-14SE(50) are supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant? A: The 3M 10214-55G3PC is RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity 2-5178238-1 is RoHS compliant. The Hirose DX10G1M-14SE(50) is ROHS3 compliant. The original 10214-55G3VC is RoHS non-compliant.
