FGA.1B.306.CLAD62Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FGA.1B.306.CLAD62Z is a 6-position circular connector plug with male pins and solder cup termination, manufactured by LEMO. This connector is classified as a shielded, push-pull fastening connector 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 1046 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the original part may be unavailable or when inventory optimization is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The S21LAC-P06MFG0-620S (ODU MINI-SNAP® L series) qualifies as a substitute based on the following aligned parameters:

  • 6-position circular connector plug with male pins
  • Solder cup termination
  • Push-pull fastening mechanism
  • Shielded configuration
  • Brass shell with chrome finish
  • Gold-plated mating contacts
  • IP50 ingress protection rating
  • PEEK insert material
  • ROHS3 compliance
  • Unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
  • EAR99 export classification

Substitution is valid where these core electrical and mechanical characteristics satisfy the application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both connectors maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected classification. The S21LAC-P06MFG0-620S provides equivalent electrical performance with a marginally higher current rating of 7.5A versus 7A. The primary operational constraint is the reduced temperature range of the ODU substitute (-40°C to 120°C) compared to the LEMO original (-55°C to 250°C). Selection between these parts depends on whether the application operates within the ODU temperature limits. The ODU connector includes integrated strain relief features not specified for the LEMO part. Both connectors support identical solder cup termination and push-pull engagement mechanisms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S21LAC-P06MFG0-620S replace the FGA.1B.306.CLAD62Z in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application operates within the ODU part's temperature range of -40°C to 120°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 120°C must use the original LEMO connector.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible between these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature 6-position solder cup termination with push-pull fastening. Cable opening specifications differ slightly: LEMO accepts 5.20mm to 6.20mm, while ODU accepts 5.00mm to 6.20mm. Verify cable diameter compatibility before substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. Both carry unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) ratings.

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

A: The LEMO connector uses chrome plating directly on brass. The ODU connector uses chrome plating over a nickel intermediate layer. Both provide equivalent corrosion protection and electrical performance.

Q: Is the higher current rating of the ODU part a performance advantage?

A: The ODU part supports 7.5A versus 7A for the LEMO original. This provides additional current capacity margin but does not indicate superior performance for applications designed for 7A operation.
