Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the N10226-52B2VC are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Position count: 26 positions
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting: Panel mount, through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact style: Outer shroud contacts
• Flange specification: Housing/Shell (M2.6)
• Contact material: Gold plating
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed meet these core parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications originally designed for the N10226-52B2VC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

N10226-52B2PC (3M): This direct 3M alternative maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete N10226-52B2VC while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection of this part eliminates cross-manufacturer compatibility concerns and preserves original design intent within the 3M 102 MDR series.

5917738-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This TE Connectivity substitute meets all core substitution parameters and carries ROHS3 compliance. The CHAMP .050 II series provides functional equivalence with established supply availability. Note that shielding is not specified for this part.

DX10G1M-26SE(50) (Hirose Electric Co Ltd): This Hirose DXM series connector qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. The part is designated as Miniature High Density (HD) type and carries ROHS3 compliance. Note that shielding is not specified for this part.

All three substitute parts are currently in active production status with established supply chains, supporting both legacy system maintenance and new design applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can N10226-52B2PC be used as a direct replacement for N10226-52B2VC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across all core parameters: 26-position receptacle configuration, 2-row layout, panel mount through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, outer shroud contacts, M2.6 flange, board lock, shielding, and gold contact finish. The primary difference is product status: N10226-52B2PC is active while N10226-52B2VC is obsolete.

Q: What are the key differences between the 3M substitute and the cross-manufacturer alternatives?

A: The 3M N10226-52B2PC maintains identical series designation (102 MDR) and includes shielding. The TE Connectivity 5917738-4 and Hirose DX10G1M-26SE(50) both meet core electrical and mechanical parameters but do not specify shielding. All three parts meet the 26-position, 2-row, right-angle solder configuration requirement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: Yes. N10226-52B2VC packaging is not specified. N10226-52B2PC is supplied in box packaging. 5917738-4 and DX10G1M-26SE(50) are supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet current compliance standards?

A: N10226-52B2PC is RoHS Compliant. Both 5917738-4 and DX10G1M-26SE(50) are ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with matching HTSUS codes.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All parts, including the original N10226-52B2VC and all substitutes, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
