Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 10226-6212VC is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters: connector type (receptacle), position count (26), row configuration (2), mounting method (panel mount through hole), termination type (solder), connector style (outer shroud contacts), flange specification (M2.6 housing/shell), and contact finish material (gold).

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional compatibility in applications originally designed for the 10226-6212VC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 10226-6212PC represents the direct equivalent from 3M, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the primary choice for applications requiring continuity with the original 10226-6212VC design.

The 5175887-4 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors provides functional equivalence across all critical parameters. This cross-manufacturer substitute operates within the same electrical and mechanical envelope, with ROHS3 compliance and active availability. Selection between the 3M and TE Connectivity options depends on supply chain requirements and existing connector ecosystem preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10226-6212PC directly replace the 10226-6212VC in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical position count (26), row configuration (2), mounting type (panel mount through hole), termination method (solder), connector style (outer shroud contacts), flange specification (M2.6), and contact finish (gold). The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the 3M 10226-6212PC and the TE Connectivity 5175887-4?

A: Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements: 26 position receptacle, 2 row configuration, panel mount through hole solder termination, outer shroud contacts, M2.6 flange, and gold contact finish. The 5175887-4 operates within the CHAMP .050 II series, while the 10226-6212PC operates within the 102 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series. Both are active products with current RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: The 10226-6212VC was supplied in standard packaging. The 10226-6212PC and 5175887-4 are supplied in Tray packaging. Verify tray specifications against your assembly process requirements.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness difference between parts affect compatibility?

A: Both parts use gold contact finish. The 10226-6212VC and 10226-6212PC specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, while the 5175887-4 specifies 11.8µin (0.30µm). Both thicknesses meet the functional requirements for the 26 position solder receptacle application.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply chain strategy and connector ecosystem. The 10226-6212PC maintains the 3M 102 MDR series continuity. The 5175887-4 provides cross-manufacturer availability within the TE Connectivity CHAMP .050 II series. Both are active products with current compliance certifications.
