Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: PKA.M0.2GL.LA (LEMO)

The PKA.M0.2GL.LA maintains Active product status with established inventory availability (642 units). This connector is suitable for applications requiring the specified -50°C ~ 150°C operating temperature range and 10A current capacity.

Substitute Part: G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 (ODU MEDI-SNAP®)

The G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 is an Active product with higher inventory availability (993 units). This substitute provides:

• Increased current rating capacity (14A versus 10A)
• Gold-plated contact finish for enhanced mating surface durability
• Specified brass contact material
• RoHS3 compliance certification
• REACH unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

Temperature Consideration:

The substitute part operates within -50°C ~ 120°C range, which is 30°C lower than the primary part's maximum specification. Selection between these parts depends on application temperature requirements. For applications requiring sustained operation above 120°C, the PKA.M0.2GL.LA is the appropriate choice. For applications within -50°C ~ 120°C, the G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 is functionally equivalent.

Both connectors are suitable for Automotive, Industrial, Medical, and Testing Equipment & Measurement applications with matching ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4020) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 can replace PKA.M0.2GL.LA?

A: Substitution is valid when the application operates within -50°C ~ 120°C temperature range and does not require the extended 150°C maximum capability of the primary part. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Does the gold contact finish on the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The gold-plated mating surface on G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 is a material upgrade that enhances contact durability and corrosion resistance. It maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with mating connectors designed for the 2-position push-pull configuration.

Q: Are the shell sizes equivalent between these parts?

A: The PKA.M0.2GL.LA specifies Shell Size - Insert as M02. The G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 specifies Shell Size - Insert as 1. These designations reflect different manufacturer classification systems for the same physical connector size category within their respective product lines.

Q: What is the inventory advantage of the substitute part?

A: The G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 has 993 units in stock compared to 642 units for the PKA.M0.2GL.LA, providing greater availability for immediate procurement.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in medical applications?

A: Yes. The G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 is specified for Medical applications and carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for medical device component integration.

Q: What is the current rating difference and does it matter?

A: The substitute part is rated for 14A versus the primary part's 10A. This higher rating provides additional safety margin in applications operating at or near the 10A specification. The substitute is suitable for any application within its 14A capacity.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the PKA.M0.2GL.LA and G51MA7-P02LPH0-0060 are specified for Automotive applications with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.
