L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 is a 62-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This female sockets connector features vertical solder termination, a mating-side female screwlock (M3), and board lock functionality. The connector is classified as Active product status and is RoHS compliant with REACH unaffected designation.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the connector serves the same functional role. Substitution becomes necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility permits alternative manufacturers meeting identical performance criteria.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector style: D-Sub, High Density
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 62
• Number of rows: 3
• Shell size and connector layout: 4 (DC, C) High Density
• Contact type: Signal
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Compliance status: RoHS and REACH alignment

The substitute part 180-M62-213R001 (NorComp Inc.) satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in mounting type (panel mount versus vertical solder), shell finish (nickel plated versus tin plated), contact form (machined versus stamped), and dielectric material (polyamide versus thermoplastic glass-filled) represent acceptable engineering differences that do not preclude substitution when functional requirements align with the core connector specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 (Amphenol ICC ICC) is the primary specification when the design requires:

• Vertical solder mounting with mating-side female screwlock (M3) and board lock features
• Tin-plated steel shell finish
• Stamped brass contacts
• Thermoplastic glass-filled dielectric material
• 250V voltage rating specification
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C
• 3A current rating

180-M62-213R001 (NorComp Inc.) serves as an equivalent substitute when:

• Panel mount or through-hole mounting flexibility is acceptable
• Nickel-plated steel shell finish is compatible with application requirements
• Machined copper alloy contacts meet performance criteria
• Polyamide (PA6T) nylon 6T dielectric material is acceptable
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) provides additional thermal margin
• 5A current rating accommodates higher current requirements
• Shielded connector configuration is beneficial
• ROHS3 compliance is required

Both parts maintain identical core connector specifications: 62-position D-Sub high-density receptacle, female sockets, 3-row configuration, solder termination, gold flash contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. Both are Active product status with REACH unaffected designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 180-M62-213R001 directly replace the L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the design accommodates panel mount or through-hole mounting flexibility and when the application does not specifically require the mating-side female screwlock (M3) or board lock features of the L77HDCG62SOL2RM8. The 62-position, 3-row, high-density D-Sub receptacle configuration is identical. Verify that shell finish (nickel versus tin plating), contact material (copper alloy versus brass), and dielectric material (polyamide versus thermoplastic glass-filled) are compatible with your application environment.

Q: What are the key differences between these two 62-position D-Sub receptacles?

A: The primary differences are: (1) mounting type—L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 features vertical solder with screwlock and board lock; 180-M62-213R001 offers panel mount capability; (2) shell finish—tin plated versus nickel plated; (3) contact construction—stamped brass versus machined copper alloy; (4) dielectric material—thermoplastic glass-filled versus polyamide nylon 6T; (5) current rating—3A versus 5A; (6) operating temperature—-55°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C; (7) shielding—180-M62-213R001 includes shielding.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 is RoHS Compliant. The 180-M62-213R001 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements and are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the significance of the 62-position, 3-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) high-density configuration?

A: This specification defines the physical and electrical interface. The 62-position count, 3-row arrangement, and shell size 4 (DC, C) high-density layout establish mechanical compatibility with mating plugs and PCB footprints designed for this connector family. Both the L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 and 180-M62-213R001 share identical specifications in these parameters, ensuring physical and electrical interchangeability at the connector interface level.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the 180-M62-213R001 (5A versus 3A) affect substitution decisions?

A: The 5A rating of the 180-M62-213R001 represents a higher current capacity than the 3A rating of the L77HDCG62SOL2RM8. When substituting, confirm that the application current requirements do not exceed the lower 3A rating of the primary part. If the application requires current capacity above 3A, the 180-M62-213R001 with its 5A rating provides additional margin.

Q: What is the impact of different contact materials (brass versus copper alloy)?

A: Both brass (L77HDCG62SOL2RM8) and copper alloy (180-M62-213R001) contacts are suitable for signal-level D-Sub connectors. The contact finish (gold flash) is identical for both parts. Material selection affects mechanical properties and manufacturing process (stamped versus machined). Substitution is acceptable when the application does not impose specific material requirements.

Q: How do the dielectric materials differ between these connectors?

A: The L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 uses thermoplastic glass-filled dielectric material. The 180-M62-213R001 uses polyamide (PA6T) nylon 6T. Both materials provide electrical insulation and structural support. The thermoplastic glass-filled material offers enhanced rigidity; polyamide nylon 6T provides excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability. Substitution is acceptable when the application environment is compatible with polyamide nylon 6T properties.

Q: What does "shell finish" mean, and why does it matter?

A: Shell finish refers to the protective coating applied to the steel connector housing. The L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 features tin plating; the 180-M62-213R001 features nickel plating. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance. Tin plating offers excellent solderability; nickel plating provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Select based on application environment and assembly process requirements.

Q: Is the extended operating temperature range of the 180-M62-213R001 (-55°C to 125°C) a significant advantage?

A: The 180-M62-213R001 operating range extends to 125°C compared to 105°C for the L77HDCG62SOL2RM8. This provides additional thermal margin for applications operating at elevated temperatures. If your application operates within the -55°C to 105°C range, both connectors are suitable. If sustained operation above 105°C is required, the 180-M62-213R001 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What does "shielded" mean for the 180-M62-213R001?

A: The 180-M62-213R001 includes shielding, which provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. The L77HDCG62SOL2RM8 does not specify shielding. Shielding is beneficial in environments with high electromagnetic noise. If EMI protection is required, the 180-M62-213R001 offers this feature. If shielding is not required, both connectors are functionally equivalent.
