FGA.0B.305.CLAD56Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FGA.0B.305.CLAD56Z 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 product is active and in stock with 962 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part S20LAC-P05MFG0-560S (ODU MINI-SNAP® L series) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Both parts are 5-position male plug connectors with solder cup termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Both employ push-pull fastening with orientation A
• Shielding: Both are shielded connectors with IP50 ingress protection
• Contact Material & Finish: Both feature brass contacts with gold plating on mating surfaces
• Shell Material: Both use brass with chrome finish
• Insert Material: Both utilize polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Mounting Type: Both are free hanging (in-line) configurations
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

Substitution is valid where the operating environment and electrical requirements fall within the overlapping parameter ranges of both connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both connectors meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications where regulatory requirements are a primary consideration. The FGA.0B.305.CLAD56Z supports an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 250°C, while the S20LAC-P05MFG0-560S operates within -40°C to 120°C. Selection between these parts depends on the specific thermal environment of the application. The ODU substitute provides a higher current rating of 7.5A compared to the LEMO part's 6.5A rating. Both connectors are active products with current inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S20LAC-P05MFG0-560S replace the FGA.0B.305.CLAD56Z in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid when the application operates within the overlapping parameter ranges. The ODU part is suitable for environments between -40°C and 120°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 120°C must use the LEMO connector.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors between these connectors?

A: Both connectors share identical connector type (5-position male plug), termination method (solder cup), fastening mechanism (push-pull), shielding configuration, and contact materials. Cable opening ranges overlap, supporting standard cable sizes within 5.00mm to 5.60mm.

Q: Are there differences in current-carrying capacity?

A: Yes. The ODU S20LAC-P05MFG0-560S is rated for 7.5A, while the LEMO FGA.0B.305.CLAD56Z is rated for 6.5A. Applications requiring the full 6.5A capacity of the LEMO part can use the ODU substitute without derating.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What is the significance of the shell finish difference?

A: The LEMO part features chrome finish, while the ODU part features chrome over nickel. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion protection and electrical performance for the specified ingress protection level of IP50.
