Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FGG.0B.306.CLAD56Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Gender: Must be Plug with Male Pins
  • Position Count: Must be 6 positions
  • Termination Method: Must be Solder Cup
  • Fastening Mechanism: Must be Push-Pull
  • Shielding: Must be Shielded
  • Contact Finish: Must be Gold for mating surfaces
  • Ingress Protection: Must meet or exceed IP50
  • Regulatory Compliance: Must be ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected

The substitute part S20L0C-P06MCC0-560S (ODU MINI-SNAP® L series) meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling functional equivalence in applications where the FGG.0B.306.CLAD56Z is specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGG.0B.306.CLAD56Z and S20L0C-P06MCC0-560S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Selection Criteria:

  • FGG.0B.306.CLAD56Z is appropriate for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 250°C) or where LEMO series compatibility is mandated by design specification.

  • S20L0C-P06MCC0-560S is appropriate for applications where higher current capacity (4A vs 2.5A) is beneficial and operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C) is acceptable. This part includes integrated strain relief and backshell features.

Both parts satisfy the core functional requirements of 6-position, male-pin, solder cup, push-pull, shielded circular connectors with gold-plated contacts and IP50 ingress protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S20L0C-P06MCC0-560S be used as a direct replacement for FGG.0B.306.CLAD56Z?

A: Yes, for applications where the operating temperature range of -40°C to 120°C is acceptable. Both connectors share identical connector type, position count, termination method, fastening mechanism, shielding, contact finish, and ingress protection rating. The ODU part provides higher current capacity (4A vs 2.5A).

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

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range (LEMO: -55°C to 250°C; ODU: -40°C to 120°C), current rating (LEMO: 2.5A; ODU: 4A), shell finish (LEMO: Chrome; ODU: Chrome over Nickel), and cable opening tolerance (LEMO: 5.30-5.60mm; ODU: 5.00-5.60mm). The ODU part includes strain relief features.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both FGG.0B.306.CLAD56Z and S20L0C-P06MCC0-560S are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the cable opening specification and does it affect substitution?

A: Cable opening specifications define the acceptable cable diameter range for proper connector seating. FGG.0B.306.CLAD56Z accepts 5.30-5.60mm; S20L0C-P06MCC0-560S accepts 5.00-5.60mm. The overlapping range (5.30-5.60mm) ensures compatibility for standard cable sizes within both specifications.

Q: Does the difference in shell finish affect electrical performance?

A: Shell finish (Chrome vs Chrome over Nickel) does not affect electrical performance. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and shielding effectiveness for the specified applications.
