FGA.0B.305.CLAD31Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FGA.0B.305.CLAD31Z is a 5-position circular connector plug with male pins and solder cup termination, manufactured by LEMO. This connector is designed for applications requiring shielded, push-pull fastening with gold-plated mating contacts and operates across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 250°C. The part is currently active in production with 673 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part S20LAC-P05MFG0-320S (ODU MINI-SNAP® L series) is identified as equivalent based on the following matching parameters:

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 5
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Contact finish: Gold-plated mating surfaces
• Shell material: Brass with chrome finish
• Insert material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Ingress protection: IP50 - Dust Protected
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification

Both parts share identical HTSUS code (8536.69.4020), confirming classification equivalence for tariff and regulatory purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGA.0B.305.CLAD31Z and S20LAC-P05MFG0-320S meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory requirements. The LEMO part supports an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 250°C, while the ODU substitute operates within -40°C to 120°C. The ODU part provides a higher current rating of 7.5A compared to 6.5A for the LEMO connector. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific temperature and current requirements. Both parts are active products with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if S20LAC-P05MFG0-320S can substitute for FGA.0B.305.CLAD31Z?

A: Substitution is based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters: 5-position configuration, solder cup termination, push-pull fastening, shielded design, gold-plated contacts, and identical ingress protection rating (IP50). Both parts use PEEK inserts and brass shells with chrome finishes.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when using the ODU substitute?

A: The ODU MINI-SNAP® L series operates within -40°C to 120°C, which is narrower than the LEMO part's -55°C to 250°C range. Applications requiring operation outside the ODU temperature range must use the LEMO FGA.0B.305.CLAD31Z.

Q: How do current ratings compare between these parts?

A: The ODU S20LAC-P05MFG0-320S is rated for 7.5A, while the LEMO FGA.0B.305.CLAD31Z is rated for 6.5A. Both ratings are suitable for standard signal and low-power applications. Circuit design must not exceed the lower rating of 6.5A when either part is used.

Q: Are cable opening specifications compatible?

A: The LEMO part accepts cables of 0.091" to 0.126" (2.30mm to 3.20mm), while the ODU part accepts 0.079" to 0.126" (2.00mm to 3.20mm). The ODU specification includes a lower minimum, providing broader cable compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99. They share identical HTSUS tariff classification (8536.69.4020), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Q: What is the difference in shell finish between these connectors?

A: The LEMO part features chrome plating on brass, while the ODU part uses chrome over nickel plating on brass. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for standard industrial environments.
