Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Positions: Must be plug with male pins, 2-position configuration
  • Termination Method: Solder cup termination required
  • Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
  • Contact System: Gold-plated mating contacts on brass base material
  • Shielding: Shielded configuration
  • Electrical Performance: Current rating and operating temperature range
  • Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The substitute part S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S (ODU MINI-SNAP® L series) meets these core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical connector type, position count, termination method, fastening type, contact finish, shielding, and compliance certifications. Variations exist in shell size designation, operating temperature range, and current rating, which must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z and S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component sourcing.

The FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z provides a 15A current rating and extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 250°C, suitable for high-temperature and high-current applications.

The S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S provides a 12A current rating and operating temperature range of -40°C to 120°C, with additional strain relief features. This substitute is suitable for applications within its specified electrical and thermal parameters.

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements for current capacity and operating temperature range. Both parts maintain identical connector interface characteristics, position count, termination method, and fastening mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S replace FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when application requirements fall within the S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S specifications: maximum 12A current and operating temperature range of -40°C to 120°C. Applications requiring the full 15A rating or extended temperature range of -55°C to 250°C require the original FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z.

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

A: Both connectors share identical connector type (plug, male pins), position count (2), termination method (solder cup), fastening type (push-pull), contact finish (gold), shielding (shielded), and insert material (PEEK). These parameters ensure mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in shell finish between these parts?

A: The FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z features chrome shell finish, while the S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S features chrome over nickel finish. Both provide corrosion protection and are suitable for the specified ingress protection level of IP50.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z and S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component sourcing.

Q: What is the significance of the cable opening specifications?

A: Cable opening specifications define the acceptable cable diameter range for proper termination. FGA.1B.302.CLAD72Z accepts 0.244" to 0.283" (6.20mm to 7.20mm), while S21LAC-P02MPH0-720S accepts 0.236" to 0.283" (6.00mm to 7.20mm). Both ranges overlap, supporting standard cable sizes within the specified parameters.
