N10214-52B2VC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The N10214-52B2VC is a 14-position receptacle connector from 3M's 102 Mini D Ribbon (MDR) series, designed for panel mount, through-hole, right-angle solder applications. This connector features outer shroud contacts, board lock, and shielding with gold-plated contacts. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible 14-position D-sub receptacle connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the N10214-52B2VC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: 14-position receptacle configuration, 2-row arrangement, panel mount through-hole right-angle orientation, solder termination, outer shroud contact style, M2.6 housing/shell flange, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, board lock feature, and shielding. All substitute parts maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in applications originally designed for the N10214-52B2VC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

N10214-52B2PC is the primary substitute, offering identical specifications to the main part while maintaining active product status and RoHS compliance. This 3M connector provides direct compatibility with existing designs and superior supply availability (35,397 units in stock).

2-5178238-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is a qualified alternative meeting all core electrical and mechanical parameters. This part is RoHS compliant and actively produced, though it lacks the shielding feature present in the original design.

DX10G1M-14SE(50) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd satisfies all functional requirements as a 14-position receptacle with identical mounting and termination specifications. This part is ROHS3 compliant and actively supported. The connector is classified as Miniature High Density (HD) type and does not specify contact finish thickness.

All three substitutes maintain the critical 14-position, 2-row, panel mount, through-hole, right-angle solder configuration required for direct replacement in applications originally designed for the N10214-52B2VC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can N10214-52B2PC be used as a direct replacement for N10214-52B2VC?

A: Yes. N10214-52B2PC maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 14-position receptacle configuration, panel mount through-hole right-angle orientation, solder termination, outer shroud contacts, M2.6 housing, gold contact finish at 30.0µin, board lock, and shielding. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the 3M substitutes and the TE Connectivity alternative?

A: N10214-52B2PC is a direct 3M equivalent with identical specifications including shielding. The TE Connectivity 2-5178238-1 meets all core parameters but does not include shielding. Both are RoHS compliant and actively produced.

Q: Does the Hirose DX10G1M-14SE(50) include shielding?

A: The provided specifications do not indicate shielding for the Hirose connector. It meets all other core requirements: 14-position receptacle, panel mount through-hole right-angle solder, outer shroud contacts, M2.6 housing, gold finish, and board lock.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: N10214-52B2PC is RoHS compliant. 2-5178238-1 is RoHS compliant. DX10G1M-14SE(50) is ROHS3 compliant. The original N10214-52B2VC is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: N10214-52B2PC is supplied in box packaging. 2-5178238-1 and DX10G1M-14SE(50) are supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same application?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require shielding. If shielding is essential, N10214-52B2PC is the appropriate choice. All substitutes maintain identical mounting, termination, and contact specifications.
