Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PAA.M1.0GL.AC65Z is determined by the following critical parameters that must match or be compatible:

  • Connector Type & Position Count: Must be Plug with Male Pins, 10-position configuration
  • Termination Method: Solder Cup termination required
  • Shell Material & Finish: Polysulfone (PSU) shell with gold contact finish
  • Mounting Configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line) with Push-Pull fastening
  • Electrical Performance: Current rating and cable opening dimensions must support the application
  • Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and operating temperature range

The identified substitute part S21MA7-P10MCC0-657S from ODU meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for the specified applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PAA.M1.0GL.AC65Z and S21MA7-P10MCC0-657S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for regulated applications in industrial, medical, and automotive sectors.

The PAA.M1.0GL.AC65Z offers a maximum operating temperature of 150°C and a current rating of 3A. The S21MA7-P10MCC0-657S operates within a maximum temperature range of 120°C with a current rating of 2.75A. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application thermal and current requirements. Both connectors share identical cable opening dimensions (0.209" ~ 0.256"), shell materials, contact finishes, and ingress protection ratings, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within their respective performance envelopes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the S21MA7-P10MCC0-657S directly replace the PAA.M1.0GL.AC65Z in all applications?

A: The S21MA7-P10MCC0-657S is mechanically and electrically compatible for most applications. However, applications requiring operation above 120°C or sustained currents exceeding 2.75A must use the PAA.M1.0GL.AC65Z to remain within rated specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two 10-position connectors?

A: The primary differences are the current rating (3A vs. 2.75A) and maximum operating temperature (150°C vs. 120°C). The PAA.M1.0GL.AC65Z includes a detent lock fastening feature, while the S21MA7-P10MCC0-657S features strain relief. Both share identical shell materials, contact finishes, cable opening dimensions, and ingress protection ratings.

Q: Are both parts suitable for medical applications?

A: Yes, both the PAA.M1.0GL.AC65Z and S21MA7-P10MCC0-657S are listed for medical applications and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for medical device component sourcing.

Q: What is the significance of the cable opening dimension compatibility?

A: The identical cable opening range (0.209" ~ 0.256") ensures that both connectors accept the same cable gauges and backshell configurations, allowing seamless mechanical integration in existing designs.

Q: How does the current rating difference affect component selection?

A: The 0.25A difference in current rating (3A vs. 2.75A) is relevant only for high-current applications. For standard industrial and medical signal applications operating below 2.75A, both parts are functionally equivalent.
