3M 10236-55G3PC D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 10236-55G3PC is a 36-position receptacle connector in the 102 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series, designed for panel mount through-hole applications with right-angle solder termination. This connector features outer shroud contacts, board lock functionality, and shielding, making it suitable for applications requiring robust signal integrity and mechanical stability. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing, inventory constraints, or when functionally compatible alternatives from different manufacturers meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3M 10236-55G3PC are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

36-position receptacle configuration with 2-row arrangement
Panel mount, through-hole, right-angle orientation
Solder termination method
Outer shroud contact style
Gold contact finish
M2.6 flange specification
ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The Hirose Electric Co Ltd DXM series connectors (DX10G1M-36S(50), DX10G1M-36SE(50), and DX10M-36S(50)) meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. These parts are classified as Miniature High Density (HD) variants within the D-Sub connector category and maintain compatibility with the specified mounting and termination standards.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Hirose substitute parts maintain Active product status and meet ROHS3 compliance requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment with the original 3M 10236-55G3PC.

The DX10G1M-36SE(50) includes board lock functionality, matching the feature set of the original part. This variant is recommended when board lock retention is a design requirement.

The DX10G1M-36S(50) and DX10M-36S(50) provide equivalent core functionality without board lock features. Selection between these variants depends on specific application requirements regarding mechanical retention.

All substitute parts carry unlimited MSL rating (1) and maintain gold contact finish specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a D-Sub connector can substitute for the 3M 10236-55G3PC?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by matching the following parameters: 36-position receptacle configuration, 2-row arrangement, panel mount through-hole right-angle orientation, solder termination, outer shroud contact style, gold contact finish, M2.6 flange specification, and ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating.

Q: Are the Hirose DXM series connectors mechanically compatible with the 3M 10236-55G3PC?

A: Yes. The Hirose DX10G1M-36S(50), DX10G1M-36SE(50), and DX10M-36S(50) share identical mounting type (panel mount, through hole, right angle), flange specification (M2.6), and termination method (solder), ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between DX10G1M-36SE(50) and DX10G1M-36S(50)?

A: The DX10G1M-36SE(50) includes board lock features, while the DX10G1M-36S(50) does not. Both are Miniature High Density variants with identical electrical and core mechanical specifications.

Q: Does the DX10M-36S(50) differ from the DX10G1M series?

A: The DX10M-36S(50) is part of the DX series rather than the DXM series and features a mating-side flange specification. It maintains the same 36-position, 2-row, right-angle solder configuration and is functionally equivalent for applications where flange location differences do not impact design constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: The DX10G1M-36S(50) and DX10G1M-36SE(50) are ROHS3 compliant. The DX10M-36S(50) is RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connectors?

A: All parts are supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and standard component handling procedures.
