Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FHG.00.302.CLAD35 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Connector Type & Pin Configuration: Plug with male pins, 2-position configuration
Termination Method: Solder cup termination for direct wire attachment
Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull coupling system
Electrical Performance: Current rating and contact finish (gold plating)
Environmental Protection: IP50 ingress protection rating
Mechanical Interface: Shell size and mounting orientation (free hanging, right angle)
Material Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS3 compliance

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: manufacturer-recommended equivalents (same manufacturer, active product status) and similar cross-manufacturer alternatives (different manufacturer, functionally equivalent within specified parameters).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FPG.00.302.CLAD35 (LEMO)

The FPG.00.302.CLAD35 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete FHG.00.302.CLAD35, including 5A current rating, -55°C to 250°C operating temperature range, shielded design, and identical shell size (302). The FPG.00.302.CLAD35 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. This substitute provides direct functional replacement with no design modifications required.

Secondary Alternative: W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 (ODU)

The W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 from ODU's MINI-SNAP® L series provides functional substitution with the following considerations: current rating is reduced to 4A (versus 5A), operating temperature range is limited to -40°C to 120°C (versus -55°C to 250°C), shielding is unshielded (versus shielded), and cable opening dimensions are smaller (2.00mm ~ 2.50mm versus 2.70mm ~ 4.60mm). This alternative is suitable only for applications where the reduced electrical and thermal specifications are acceptable and electromagnetic shielding is not required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the FHG.00.302.CLAD35 listed as obsolete?

A: The FHG.00.302.CLAD35 has been discontinued by LEMO. The FPG.00.302.CLAD35 represents the active product line replacement with equivalent specifications.

Q: Can the FPG.00.302.CLAD35 be used as a direct replacement?

A: Yes. The FPG.00.302.CLAD35 maintains identical connector type, pin configuration, shell size, termination method, fastening mechanism, current rating, operating temperature range, and shielding characteristics. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between the LEMO FPG.00.302.CLAD35 and the ODU W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500?

A: The primary differences are: (1) current rating is 4A versus 5A, (2) operating temperature range is -40°C to 120°C versus -55°C to 250°C, (3) the ODU part is unshielded versus shielded, and (4) cable opening dimensions are smaller. These differences may impact suitability depending on application requirements.

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

A: No. The ODU part is rated only to 120°C maximum, compared to the LEMO parts rated to 250°C. Applications requiring operation above 120°C require the LEMO FPG.00.302.CLAD35.

Q: Does the ODU part provide electromagnetic shielding?

A: No. The W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 is unshielded, whereas both LEMO parts (FHG.00.302.CLAD35 and FPG.00.302.CLAD35) are shielded. Applications requiring EMI/RFI protection require a shielded connector.

Q: What is the cable opening dimension significance?

A: Cable opening dimensions specify the acceptable wire gauge range for solder cup termination. The LEMO parts accommodate 2.70mm ~ 4.60mm cable diameters, while the ODU part accommodates 2.00mm ~ 2.50mm. Cable diameter must fall within the specified range for proper mechanical and electrical connection.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: The LEMO FPG.00.302.CLAD35 is confirmed ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the ODU W1CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 is not specified in the provided data.
