Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PAB.M0.2GL.AC39Z is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Pin Configuration: Plug with male pins and 2-position configuration
• Termination Method: Solder cup termination for PCB or cable assembly
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated mating surface for corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity
• Shell Material: Polysulfone (PSU) construction for mechanical durability
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging, in-line orientation with push-pull fastening
• Environmental Protection: IP50 ingress protection rating
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage handling capacity
• Temperature Operating Range: -50°C to 150°C minimum
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The substitute part S21MC7-P02MPH0-397S from ODU meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional compatibility in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part (PAB.M0.2GL.AC39Z - LEMO)

Select this part when applications require the extended operating temperature range of -50°C to 150°C. The LEMO connector is ROHS3 compliant and MSL Level 1 rated, suitable for automotive, industrial, medical, and testing equipment applications. Current production status and inventory availability (1074 units) support immediate procurement.

Substitute Part (S21MC7-P02MPH0-397S - ODU)

The ODU MEDI-SNAP® connector is suitable as an equivalent substitute for applications operating within the -50°C to 120°C temperature range. This part offers a higher current rating (14A versus 10A), making it compatible with applications requiring the PAB.M0.2GL.AC39Z's 10A specification. The ODU connector includes integrated strain relief and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. Inventory availability (693 units) supports procurement. Mechanical orientation differs (C versus B); verify connector orientation compatibility with mating receptacle before final selection.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical core specifications: 2-position solder cup termination, gold-plated contacts, PSU shell construction, IP50 ingress protection, and PEEK insert material. Selection between these parts depends on temperature range requirements and mechanical orientation compatibility with the application's mating connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ODU S21MC7-P02MPH0-397S directly replace the LEMO PAB.M0.2GL.AC39Z in all applications?

A: The ODU connector is functionally equivalent for applications operating within -50°C to 120°C. The LEMO part supports extended temperature operation to 150°C. Additionally, the connector orientations differ (B versus C); verify mechanical compatibility with the mating receptacle before substitution.

Q: What does the difference in current rating (10A versus 14A) mean for substitution?

A: The ODU connector's 14A rating exceeds the LEMO part's 10A specification. For applications requiring 10A or less, the ODU connector is suitable. The higher rating provides additional margin but does not affect compatibility for equivalent current-level applications.

Q: Are both connectors compliant with automotive and medical standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and MSL Level 1 rated. The LEMO connector lists automotive, industrial, medical, and testing equipment applications. The ODU connector lists industrial, medical, military, and testing equipment applications. Verify specific application standards and certifications required for your end-use.

Q: What is the significance of the different orientation codes (B versus C)?

A: Orientation codes define the mechanical keying and alignment of the connector plug relative to the receptacle. Orientation B and C are different mechanical configurations. Verify that the substitute part's orientation (C) is compatible with your application's mating receptacle before selection.

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

A: These connectors share identical electrical specifications and termination methods (solder cup). However, mechanical orientation differences and temperature range limitations require verification of mechanical fit and thermal requirements before interchangeable use.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The LEMO PAB.M0.2GL.AC39Z is available in standard packaging. The ODU S21MC7-P02MPH0-397S is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
