Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FGA.1B.306.CLAD72Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 6-position plug with male pins and solder cup termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull coupling system
• Electrical Performance: Current rating of 7A minimum with gold-plated mating contacts
• Environmental Protection: IP50 ingress protection rating
• Material Compatibility: Brass shell with chrome finish and PEEK insert material
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The substitute part S21LAC-P06MFG0-720S from ODU meets these core substitution criteria across connector type, position count, termination method, fastening type, shell material, contact finish, shielding, and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGA.1B.306.CLAD72Z and S21LAC-P06MFG0-720S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The ODU substitute part S21LAC-P06MFG0-720S provides equivalent electrical and mechanical functionality with a higher current rating of 7.5A compared to the LEMO part's 7A rating. The primary difference is the operating temperature range: the LEMO connector operates from -55°C to 250°C, while the ODU connector operates from -40°C to 120°C. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific operating temperature requirements of the application. Both parts maintain identical connector configuration, termination method, fastening mechanism, shielding, and regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes S21LAC-P06MFG0-720S a valid substitute for FGA.1B.306.CLAD72Z?

A: Both connectors share identical core specifications: 6-position plug configuration with male pins, solder cup termination, push-pull fastening, shielded design, brass shell with gold-plated mating contacts, IP50 ingress protection, PEEK insert material, and ROHS3 compliance. The substitute part meets or exceeds the electrical performance requirements with a 7.5A current rating.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges between these parts?

A: Yes. The LEMO FGA.1B.306.CLAD72Z operates from -55°C to 250°C, while the ODU S21LAC-P06MFG0-720S operates from -40°C to 120°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 120°C must use the LEMO part.

Q: Do both connectors use the same insert material?

A: Yes. Both the LEMO and ODU connectors use Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as the insert material, ensuring consistent dielectric properties and mechanical stability.

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

A: The LEMO connector features a chrome finish on brass shell, while the ODU connector features chrome over nickel plating on brass shell. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for industrial applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the FGA.1B.306.CLAD72Z and S21LAC-P06MFG0-720S are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in all applications?

A: Interchangeability depends on the specific application requirements. Both connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for standard applications. However, applications with extreme temperature requirements below -40°C or above 120°C must use the LEMO part due to its extended operating temperature range.
