FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z is a 16-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 a wide temperature range of -55°C to 250°C. The product is currently active and in stock with 1,060 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, application-specific requirements, or design flexibility needs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • 16-position connector configuration
  • Male pin plug connector type
  • Solder cup termination method
  • Push-pull fastening mechanism
  • Shielded design with gold-plated mating contacts
  • Brass shell with chrome finish
  • PEEK insert material
  • IP50 ingress protection rating
  • ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part S21L0C-P16MCC0-720S meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling functional equivalence in applications where the FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z is specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z and S21L0C-P16MCC0-720S are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific operating conditions:

The FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z supports extended temperature operation from -55°C to 250°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The S21L0C-P16MCC0-720S operates within -40°C to 120°C and provides higher current capacity at 4A versus 1.5A. Both connectors maintain equivalent mechanical compatibility through identical 16-position solder cup configuration, push-pull fastening, and shielded design with gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S21L0C-P16MCC0-720S replace FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid for applications operating within -40°C to 120°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 120°C must use the FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z due to its extended temperature range.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility considerations?

A: Both connectors use identical 16-position solder cup termination, push-pull fastening, and shielded brass shells with PEEK inserts. Cable opening ranges overlap sufficiently (6.00mm to 7.20mm for ODU versus 6.20mm to 7.20mm for LEMO), ensuring mechanical interchangeability in standard installations.

Q: Are there differences in contact performance?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated mating contacts on brass base material. The S21L0C-P16MCC0-720S provides higher current capacity at 4A compared to 1.5A for the FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z. For applications requiring the full 1.5A rating, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Do regulatory certifications differ between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z specifies UL94 V-0 material flammability rating; this specification is not provided for the S21L0C-P16MCC0-720S.

Q: What is the difference in shell finish?

A: The FGG.1B.316.CLAD72Z uses chrome finish on brass, while the S21L0C-P16MCC0-720S uses chrome over nickel on brass. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion protection and electrical performance for IP50 dust-protected applications.
