150236-5002-RB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 150236-5002-RB is a 36-position receptacle connector manufactured by 3M, designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing. This connector features right-angle through-hole mounting with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, rated for 1A at 500VDC across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

The 150236-5002-RB is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 150236-5002-RB is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 36-position receptacle with 2 rows at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 1A current rating and contact finish (gold mating surface)
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range

The substitute part A3-36DA-2DS(71) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd meets the core mechanical and electrical configuration requirements. However, specific parameter variations exist that must be evaluated for application compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The A3-36DA-2DS(71) is an active product from Hirose Electric Co Ltd and serves as a functional equivalent for the obsolete 150236-5002-RB in applications requiring 36-position, 0.079" pitch receptacle connectors with right-angle through-hole mounting.

Key considerations for selection:

• Operating Temperature: The 150236-5002-RB operates to 105°C; the A3-36DA-2DS(71) operates to 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 85°C require evaluation against the substitute's thermal limits.
• Voltage Rating: The 150236-5002-RB is rated 500VDC; the A3-36DA-2DS(71) is rated 200VAC. Applications requiring DC voltage operation above 200V or AC operation above 200V require verification of compatibility.
• Compliance: The A3-36DA-2DS(71) carries RoHS compliance certification, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and production.
• Availability: The A3-36DA-2DS(71) is in active production with documented inventory, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the A3-36DA-2DS(71) be used as a direct replacement for the 150236-5002-RB?

A: The A3-36DA-2DS(71) matches the core mechanical and electrical configuration (36 positions, 0.079" pitch, right-angle through-hole, 1A rating, gold mating contacts). However, the operating temperature maximum (85°C vs. 105°C) and voltage rating (200VAC vs. 500VDC) differ. Substitution is valid only when application requirements fall within the A3-36DA-2DS(71) specifications.

Q: What are the physical compatibility considerations?

A: Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.079"), row configuration (2 rows), and right-angle mounting orientation. PCB footprints are compatible. Insulation height differs slightly (0.179" vs. 0.183"), which does not affect standard PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 150236-5002-RB packaging is not specified. The A3-36DA-2DS(71) is supplied in trays. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier for production requirements.

Q: What contact material differences exist?

A: The 150236-5002-RB uses copper alloy contacts; the A3-36DA-2DS(71) uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials support the specified 1A current rating and gold mating finish. Contact finish thickness on mating surfaces differs (30.0µin vs. 8.00µin), which does not affect electrical performance within rated parameters.

Q: Is the A3-36DA-2DS(71) suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The A3-36DA-2DS(71) is an active product with RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs. Confirm that application requirements align with the 200VAC voltage rating and -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
