FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z 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 product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z 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
• Contact finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Shell material: Metal construction
• Ingress protection: IP50 minimum

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Operating temperature range: Must support -55°C to 250°C or equivalent operational envelope
• Current rating: Must support minimum 5A
• Shielding: Shielded construction preferred for electromagnetic compatibility
• Insert material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or equivalent dielectric material

The FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent, sharing identical shell size (302), connector configuration, and termination method while maintaining active product status. The W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 functions as a similar substitute from an alternative manufacturer (ODU), providing compatible mechanical and electrical characteristics despite differences in shell size designation and operating temperature range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z (LEMO - Manufacturer Recommended Equivalent)

This part is the primary substitute for the obsolete FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z. Both connectors share identical shell size (302), connector configuration, and termination methodology. The FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z maintains active product status and LEMO manufacturer support. The primary electrical difference is a reduced current rating of 4.6A compared to the original 5A specification. This part is suitable for applications where the 4.6A rating meets system requirements. Both parts maintain identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 250°C) and shielded construction.

W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 (ODU - Alternative Manufacturer Substitute)

This ODU MINI-SNAP® L series connector provides cross-manufacturer compatibility for 2-position, male-pin, solder cup applications with push-pull fastening. The part maintains active product status and gold-plated mating contacts. Differences include reduced operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C versus -55°C to 250°C), unshielded construction, and different shell size designation. Current rating is 4A. This substitute is applicable for applications operating within the -40°C to 120°C envelope where shielding is not required or where cross-manufacturer sourcing is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z directly replace the FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z in all applications?

A: The FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z is mechanically and functionally compatible with identical shell size, connector type, and termination method. However, the current rating is reduced from 5A to 4.6A. Direct replacement is suitable only for applications where the 4.6A current rating is sufficient for system operation.

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

A: The FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z maintains LEMO manufacturer continuity with identical shell size and operating temperature range. The W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 offers cross-manufacturer compatibility but features a reduced operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C), unshielded construction, and different shell size designation. Selection depends on thermal requirements and electromagnetic compatibility needs.

Q: Is the W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: No. The W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 operates from -40°C to 120°C, which is significantly more limited than the original FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z specification of -55°C to 250°C. This substitute is not appropriate for applications requiring extended temperature operation.

Q: Does the unshielded construction of the W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 affect electromagnetic compatibility?

A: Yes. The original FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z and the FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z both feature shielded construction. The W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 is unshielded. Applications requiring electromagnetic shielding must use the FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z or maintain the original FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z if available.

Q: What cable opening tolerances apply to each substitute?

A: The FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z accepts cables 0.087" to 0.106" (2.20mm to 2.70mm). The FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z accepts 0.091" to 0.106" (2.30mm to 2.70mm). The W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 accepts 0.079" to 0.098" (2.00mm to 2.50mm). Cable diameter must fall within the specified range for proper termination.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: The FHG.00.302.CLAD27Z is documented as ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance status for the FPG.00.302.CLAD27Z and W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 is not specified in the provided data. All three parts carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4020 classifications.
