FHG.00.302.CLAD35Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FHG.00.302.CLAD35Z is a 2-position circular connector plug with male pins, solder cup termination, and push-pull fastening. Manufactured by LEMO in the 00B series, this component features a shielded design with gold-plated mating contacts and chrome-finished brass shell. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FHG.00.302.CLAD35Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be plug with male pins, 2-position configuration
• Shell Size: 302 insert size for mechanical compatibility
• Termination Method: Solder cup termination required
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging (in-line), right angle orientation
• Electrical Performance: Current rating and operating temperature range
• Environmental Protection: IP50 ingress protection rating
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated mating contacts

The FPG.00.302.CLAD35Z qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute, maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications with active product status. The W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 represents a cross-manufacturer alternative from ODU with functional equivalence in core parameters, though with noted variations in current rating, operating temperature range, and shielding configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FPG.00.302.CLAD35Z is the primary substitute for the obsolete FHG.00.302.CLAD35Z. Both components are LEMO products with identical mechanical interfaces, shell sizes, and operating temperature ranges. The FPG.00.302.CLAD35Z maintains active product status and provides direct compatibility. The current rating reduction from 5A to 4.6A must be evaluated against application requirements. The addition of detent lock fastening in the FPG variant provides enhanced mechanical retention.

W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 from ODU represents a cross-manufacturer alternative suitable for applications where the operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 120°C is acceptable and cable opening dimensions of 2.00mm ~ 2.50mm are compatible. The unshielded configuration differs from the original shielded design and must be assessed for electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The 4A current rating falls between the original 5A specification and the FPG variant's 4.6A rating.

Selection between these alternatives depends on specific application constraints: thermal environment, electromagnetic interference sensitivity, current requirements, and cable diameter specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FPG.00.302.CLAD35Z directly replace the FHG.00.302.CLAD35Z in all applications?

A: Mechanical and thermal compatibility is maintained. The reduced current rating from 5A to 4.6A requires verification that application current demands do not exceed 4.6A. The addition of detent lock fastening provides enhanced mechanical retention without affecting electrical performance.

Q: What are the key differences between the LEMO FPG variant and the ODU W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500?

A: The FPG maintains identical shell size (302) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 250°C) as the original. The ODU alternative operates at reduced temperature range (-40°C ~ 120°C), features unshielded construction, and accommodates smaller cable diameters (2.00mm ~ 2.50mm versus 2.70mm ~ 4.60mm). Shell material differs: brass versus copper alloy.

Q: Is the unshielded W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 suitable for my application?

A: Shielding removal affects electromagnetic interference performance. Applications requiring EMI suppression or operating in electromagnetically noisy environments should retain the shielded FPG.00.302.CLAD35Z. Applications with minimal EMI exposure may tolerate the unshielded ODU alternative.

Q: What is the impact of the cable opening dimension differences?

A: The original FHG and substitute FPG accept cables of 2.70mm ~ 4.60mm diameter. The ODU W2CL0C-P02MCC0-2500 accommodates smaller cables of 2.00mm ~ 2.50mm diameter. Cable diameter must be verified for physical fit within the solder cup termination.

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

A: The FHG.00.302.CLAD35Z carries explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Compliance documentation for the FPG and ODU alternatives is not specified in available data and should be obtained from manufacturers for regulated applications.

Q: What is the significance of the detent lock addition in the FPG variant?

A: The FPG.00.302.CLAD35Z includes detent lock fastening in addition to push-pull mechanism, providing positive mechanical engagement and preventing accidental disconnection. This enhancement does not affect electrical specifications or thermal performance.
