3M 10236-55H3VC D-Sub 36-Position Receptacle Connector

Part Overview

The 3M 10236-55H3VC is a 36-position receptacle connector in the Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series, configured for panel mount through-hole right-angle solder termination. This connector features outer shroud contacts with board lock and shielding. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for existing applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 10236-55H3VC is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: 36-position receptacle configuration, 2-row arrangement, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, outer shroud contact style, gold contact finish, and shielded board lock features. All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The primary substitute is the 3M 10236-55H3PC, which is functionally identical to the main part with the distinction of active product status and RoHS3 compliance. Secondary substitutes from Hirose Electric (DX10M-36S(50) and DX10G1M-36S(50)) provide equivalent 36-position receptacle functionality within the Miniature High Density (HD) connector category, maintaining all critical mounting and termination parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10236-55H3PC serves as the direct replacement for the obsolete 10236-55H3VC, offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the advantage of active product status and RoHS3 compliance. This part is the preferred choice for applications requiring 3M connector ecosystem compatibility.

The Hirose Electric DX10M-36S(50) and DX10G1M-36S(50) connectors provide functionally equivalent alternatives with active product status and full RoHS compliance. These parts maintain the 36-position receptacle configuration, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination required for direct substitution. Selection between Hirose alternatives should be based on specific flange feature requirements and contact finish thickness specifications for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 10236-55H3PC directly replace the obsolete 10236-55H3VC?

A: Yes. The 10236-55H3PC is functionally equivalent, maintaining identical 36-position receptacle configuration, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and shielded board lock features. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for D-Sub 36-position receptacle substitution?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in connector type (receptacle), position count (36), row configuration (2), mounting method (panel mount through-hole right-angle), termination type (solder), contact style (outer shroud), and contact finish (gold). All listed substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: Are Hirose DX10M-36S(50) and DX10G1M-36S(50) connectors mechanically compatible with 3M 10236 series applications?

A: Both Hirose parts maintain the required 36-position receptacle configuration, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. Mechanical compatibility depends on specific flange feature and mounting hole specifications for the application. Verify flange dimensions (3M uses 4-40 housing/shell; Hirose uses M2.6) against PCB layout requirements.

Q: What is the difference between DX10M-36S(50) and DX10G1M-36S(50)?

A: Both are 36-position Miniature High Density (HD) receptacle connectors with identical electrical and mounting specifications. The primary distinction is flange feature configuration: DX10M-36S(50) features mating side M2.6 flange with latchblocks, while DX10G1M-36S(50) features housing/shell M2.6 flange. Selection depends on specific mounting and latching requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 10236-55H3PC, DX10M-36S(50), and DX10G1M-36S(50) are all RoHS compliant. The original 10236-55H3VC is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, use one of the three substitute parts.
