Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FGA.0B.306.CLAD31Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Plug with male pins (fixed requirement)
• Position Count: 6 positions (fixed requirement)
• Termination Method: Solder cup (fixed requirement)
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull (fixed requirement)
• Shielding: Shielded configuration (fixed requirement)
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface (fixed requirement)
• Ingress Protection: IP50 minimum (fixed requirement)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant (fixed requirement)

The substitute part S20LAC-P06MCC0-320S from ODU meets all critical substitution criteria. While the shell size designation differs (0 versus 306), both connectors maintain 6-position configuration with identical termination, fastening, and contact specifications. Differences in current rating (4A versus 2.5A) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 120°C versus -55°C ~ 250°C) represent parameter variations that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGA.0B.306.CLAD31Z and S20LAC-P06MCC0-320S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts must account for the following parameter differences:

Operating Temperature Range: The LEMO part supports -55°C ~ 250°C, while the ODU part supports -40°C ~ 120°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 120°C must use the LEMO FGA.0B.306.CLAD31Z.

Current Rating: The ODU part is rated for 4A versus the LEMO part's 2.5A. Applications requiring current capacity above 2.5A may benefit from the ODU substitute, provided other parameters remain acceptable.

Shell Finish: The LEMO part features chrome finish on brass, while the ODU part features chrome over nickel on brass. Both finishes provide corrosion protection appropriate for IP50 dust-protected applications.

Both parts maintain identical 6-position solder cup configuration, push-pull fastening, shielding, and gold contact finish, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S20LAC-P06MCC0-320S replace the FGA.0B.306.CLAD31Z in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application operating temperature range falls within -40°C ~ 120°C and current requirements do not exceed 4A. Applications requiring the extended temperature range of -55°C ~ 250°C must use the original LEMO part.

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

A: Both connectors share identical position count (6), termination method (solder cup), fastening mechanism (push-pull), shielding configuration, and gold contact finish. These parameters ensure mechanical mating and electrical performance compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in packaging or handling requirements?

A: The LEMO part is supplied in standard packaging, while the ODU part is supplied in bulk packaging. No differences in moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) or handling procedures apply.

Q: How do the current ratings affect substitution decisions?

A: The ODU part's 4A rating exceeds the LEMO part's 2.5A rating. For applications operating at or below 2.5A, the ODU part provides equivalent performance. Applications requiring exactly 2.5A or higher current capacity must verify the ODU part's suitability for the specific circuit design.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry ECCN EAR99 classification and identical HTSUS code 8536.69.4020, supporting equivalent regulatory and trade compliance status.
