FHG.00.302.CLAD22 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FHG.00.302.CLAD22 is a 2-position circular connector plug with male pins and solder cup termination, manufactured by LEMO. This connector features a 302 shell size with push-pull fastening, gold-plated mating contacts, and shielded construction rated for 5A at operating temperatures from -55°C to 250°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FHG.00.302.CLAD22 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 2
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Mating contact finish: Gold
• Ingress protection: IP50 minimum
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• Insert material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Shell size and orientation compatibility
• Operating temperature range overlap
• Current rating adequacy for application
• Shielding configuration
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH, ECCN)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with varying degrees of parameter alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FPG.00.302.CLAD22 (LEMO - MFR Recommended Substitute)

This part is the primary substitute for the obsolete FHG.00.302.CLAD22. Both connectors share identical shell size (302), orientation (G), mounting configuration, and termination method. The FPG.00.302.CLAD22 is manufactured by LEMO and maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

The primary difference is current rating: FPG.00.302.CLAD22 is rated at 4.6A compared to the original 5A rating. This reduction must be evaluated against application requirements. Operating temperature range remains identical (-55°C to 250°C), and cable opening specifications are identical (0.055" ~ 0.087" / 1.40mm ~ 2.20mm). This substitute is suitable for applications where the 4.6A current rating is adequate.

W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 (ODU - Similar Substitute)

This ODU MINI-SNAP® L series connector provides an alternative from a different manufacturer. The part maintains 2-position configuration, male pin plug type, solder cup termination, and push-pull fastening. Current rating is 4A, positioned between the original 5A and the LEMO substitute at 4.6A.

Key differences include: shell size designation (0 versus 302), unshielded construction (versus shielded), and reduced operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C versus -55°C to 250°C). Cable opening is larger (0.079" ~ 0.098" / 2.00mm ~ 2.50mm). Material flammability rating is not specified. This substitute is applicable only when shielding is not required and operating temperature range does not exceed -40°C to 120°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the FHG.00.302.CLAD22 marked as obsolete?

A: The FHG.00.302.CLAD22 is classified as obsolete by LEMO. The FPG.00.302.CLAD22 represents the active product line replacement, maintaining the same mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

Q: Can the FPG.00.302.CLAD22 be used as a direct replacement?

A: The FPG.00.302.CLAD22 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications requiring 4.6A or less. The identical shell size (302), orientation (G), cable opening (0.055" ~ 0.087"), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 250°C) ensure physical and functional compatibility. Applications requiring the full 5A rating must evaluate alternative solutions.

Q: What are the key differences between the LEMO and ODU substitutes?

A: The LEMO FPG.00.302.CLAD22 maintains identical shell size and shielded construction but reduces current rating to 4.6A. The ODU W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 uses a different shell size designation (0), eliminates shielding, increases cable opening tolerance, and limits operating temperature to -40°C to 120°C. Current rating is 4A.

Q: Is the ODU W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 suitable for shielded applications?

A: No. The W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 is specified as unshielded, whereas the original FHG.00.302.CLAD22 and the LEMO substitute FPG.00.302.CLAD22 are both shielded. Applications requiring electromagnetic shielding must use the LEMO substitute.

Q: What is the operating temperature limitation of the ODU substitute?

A: The W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 operates from -40°C to 120°C, compared to -55°C to 250°C for both LEMO connectors. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 120°C cannot use the ODU substitute.

Q: Are all three connectors RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: The FHG.00.302.CLAD22 and FPG.00.302.CLAD22 are both ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance status for the W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What cable opening sizes are compatible with each connector?

A: The FHG.00.302.CLAD22 and FPG.00.302.CLAD22 both accept cables with 0.055" to 0.087" (1.40mm to 2.20mm) opening. The W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 requires 0.079" to 0.098" (2.00mm to 2.50mm) opening, which is larger and may not accommodate smaller cable diameters.
