3M 10214-6202VC D-Sub Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 10214-6202VC is a 14-position D-Sub receptacle connector designed for panel mount, through-hole solder applications. This connector belongs to the 102 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series and features shielded outer shroud contacts with gold-plated terminations. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 10214-6202VC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), position count (14), row configuration (2), mounting method (panel mount through-hole), termination type (solder), connector style (outer shroud contacts), and contact finish (gold). Both substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The 3M 12214-1150-00FR represents a direct manufacturer upgrade path, transitioning from the obsolete 102 series to the active 122 Shrunk D Ribbon (SDR) series while preserving all functional parameters. The Hirose DX20M-14S(50) provides an alternative from a different manufacturer within the miniature high-density D-Sub category, maintaining identical position count, row configuration, and termination characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring continued use of the obsolete 10214-6202VC, the 3M 12214-1150-00FR is the primary substitute. This part maintains manufacturer continuity, preserves all functional specifications, and offers the advantage of active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The addition of board lock features provides enhanced mechanical stability in panel mount applications.

The Hirose DX20M-14S(50) serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative for applications where multi-source qualification is required or where Hirose components are already established in the supply chain. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering RoHS compliance and active availability.

Selection between the two substitutes should be based on existing supply chain relationships, qualification requirements, and any form-factor constraints specific to the application, as both parts satisfy the core functional parameters of the original connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 12214-1150-00FR directly replace the 10214-6202VC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical position count (14), row configuration (2), mounting method (panel mount through-hole), termination type (solder), and contact finish (gold 30.0µin). The 12214-1150-00FR represents the manufacturer's direct upgrade from the obsolete 102 series to the active 122 series.

Q: What is the difference between the 3M and Hirose substitute options?

A: Both substitutes provide equivalent electrical and mechanical functionality. The 3M 12214-1150-00FR maintains manufacturer continuity and adds board lock features. The Hirose DX20M-14S(50) is classified as miniature high-density and provides an alternative source. Selection depends on supply chain qualification and availability requirements.

Q: Are there form-factor differences between these connectors?

A: The 10214-6202VC and 12214-1150-00FR differ in flange feature design (housing/shell M2.6 versus mating side M2), which may affect panel cutout dimensions. The Hirose DX20M-14S(50) uses housing/shell M2.6 matching the original. Physical verification against PCB layout is required before implementation.

Q: Do all three connectors meet current RoHS requirements?

A: The 10214-6202VC is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitutes are RoHS compliant (12214-1150-00FR: ROHS3; DX20M-14S(50): RoHS). For applications subject to RoHS regulations, either substitute is acceptable.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
