Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FPG.0B.304.CLAD52 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 4
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle
• Insert Material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Current Rating: Minimum 7A
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Shell Size - Insert: Functionally equivalent sizes within mechanical envelope constraints
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute must support minimum -55°C ~ 250°C or equivalent industrial range
• Shielding: Shielded construction required for electromagnetic compatibility
• Shell Material and Finish: Brass with appropriate plating for corrosion resistance
• Ingress Protection: IP50 or equivalent dust protection rating
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance required

The substitute part W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 (ODU MINI-SNAP® L series) meets the mandatory matching parameters and maintains functional equivalence for 4-position solder cup connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the FPG.0B.304.CLAD52 and W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 is based on the following engineering criteria:

Primary Part (FPG.0B.304.CLAD52) is preferred when:

• Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 250°C is required
• Shielded connector construction is mandatory for electromagnetic compatibility
• Extended temperature performance is critical to application reliability

Substitute Part (W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200) is acceptable when:

• Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 120°C satisfies application requirements
• Unshielded construction is compatible with system EMI environment
• Enhanced shell finish (Chrome over Nickel) provides superior corrosion resistance for the application environment
• Higher current rating (7.5A) provides additional design margin

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Both are active products with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 be used as a direct replacement for FPG.0B.304.CLAD52?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application operating temperature does not exceed 120°C and unshielded connector construction is acceptable. The substitute part meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for 4-position solder cup connector applications but has a reduced upper temperature limit and lacks shielding.

Q: What is the primary functional difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is shielding: FPG.0B.304.CLAD52 is shielded, while W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 is unshielded. This affects electromagnetic interference performance. Additionally, the operating temperature range differs: FPG.0B.304.CLAD52 supports -55°C ~ 250°C, while W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 supports -40°C ~ 120°C.

Q: Are the cable opening specifications compatible?

A: The cable opening ranges overlap but are not identical. FPG.0B.304.CLAD52 accepts 4.20mm ~ 5.20mm cable diameter, while W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 accepts 4.00mm ~ 5.20mm. Verify that your cable diameter falls within both ranges before substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What is the significance of the shell finish difference?

A: FPG.0B.304.CLAD52 has Chrome finish, while W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 has Chrome over Nickel finish. The additional nickel layer in the substitute provides enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environmental conditions.

Q: Can the substitute part handle the same current as the primary part?

A: The substitute part exceeds the primary part's current rating: W10L0C-P04MFG0-5200 is rated for 7.5A compared to FPG.0B.304.CLAD52 at 7A. Both are suitable for applications requiring 7A current capacity.
