Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 10250-55H3PC serves as a direct substitute for the 10250-55H3VC based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid because both parts share the following critical specifications:

• 50 position, 2 row configuration
• Receptacle connector type with outer shroud contacts
• Panel mount, through hole, right angle orientation
• Solder termination method
• Board lock and shielded features
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Housing/Shell (4-40) flange with latchblocks
• MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format. The 10250-55H3VC is obsolete, while the 10250-55H3PC is active production with tray packaging, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 10250-55H3PC is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with the 10250-55H3VC. The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the advantage of active product status and documented RoHS compliance. The 10250-55H3PC is manufactured to the same specifications and is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without circuit or mechanical modifications.

For new designs or procurement planning, the 10250-55H3PC should be specified to ensure long-term supply chain continuity and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 10250-55H3VC and 10250-55H3PC electrically identical?
