FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z is a 2-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 863 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit functional alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 2
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Contact finish: Gold-plated mating surfaces
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Insert material: PEEK

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Shell material: Brass construction
• Ingress protection: IP50 minimum
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance

The substitute part S21LAC-P02MPH0-620S (ODU MINI-SNAP® L series) meets all primary compatibility criteria. Differences exist in operating temperature range, current rating, and shell finish specifications, which must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z and S21LAC-P02MPH0-620S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications.

The FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z supports a wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 250°C) and higher current rating (15A) compared to the ODU substitute (12A, -40°C to 120°C). Selection between these parts depends on application thermal and electrical requirements. The LEMO part is suitable for high-temperature environments and higher current applications, while the ODU MINI-SNAP® L series is appropriate for standard industrial, medical, military, and testing equipment applications within its specified operating parameters.

Both connectors feature identical core functional characteristics: 2-position male plug configuration, solder cup termination, push-pull fastening, shielded design, gold-plated contacts, and PEEK inserts. The ODU part includes integrated strain relief, which is not specified for the LEMO connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S21LAC-P02MPH0-620S directly replace the FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z in all applications?

A: Direct substitution is possible only when application requirements fall within the ODU part's specifications. The ODU connector operates at -40°C to 120°C and carries 12A maximum current. Applications requiring the LEMO part's extended temperature range (-55°C to 250°C) or 15A current rating require the original part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range, current rating, and shell finish. The LEMO part operates from -55°C to 250°C at 15A; the ODU part operates from -40°C to 120°C at 12A. Shell finish differs: LEMO uses chrome; ODU uses chrome over nickel. Both share identical connector type, position count, termination method, fastening mechanism, contact finish, shielding, and insert material.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z and S21LAC-P02MPH0-620S are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component sourcing.

Q: What is the cable opening tolerance for each connector?

A: The FGA.1B.302.CLAD62Z accepts cable diameters of 0.205" to 0.244" (5.20mm to 6.20mm). The S21LAC-P02MPH0-620S accepts 0.197" to 0.244" (5.00mm to 6.20mm). Both ranges overlap substantially, though the LEMO part has a slightly higher minimum specification.

Q: Does the ODU connector include any additional features?

A: The S21LAC-P02MPH0-620S includes integrated strain relief and backshell features. The LEMO part specifies backshell but does not list strain relief in the provided specifications.
