PKA.M1.4GL.LA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PKA.M1.4GL.LA is a 14-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by LEMO, featuring female sockets with solder cup termination and push-pull fastening. This connector is classified as a circular plastic push-pull connector with panel mount capability and front/rear side nut mounting features. The product is currently active in production with 728 pieces available in new original stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent connectors meet the same functional requirements across critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct replacement in applications where the original part may be unavailable or when inventory optimization is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PKA.M1.4GL.LA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 14
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Shell Material: Polysulfone (PSU)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Insert Material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Ingress Protection: IP50 - Dust Protected
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Shielding: Unshielded

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 2A
• Operating Temperature: Substitute must support the full range or equivalent minimum/maximum bounds
• Shell Size - Insert: Substitute must accommodate 14-position configuration

The substitute part G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 (ODU MEDI-SNAP®) meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds electrical performance specifications, qualifying it as a direct functional equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: PKA.M1.4GL.LA (LEMO)

The PKA.M1.4GL.LA remains the primary specification when the full operating temperature range of -50°C to 150°C is required. This part is active in production with established supply availability (728 pieces in stock) and carries EAR99 export classification with HTSUS code 8536.69.4020.

Substitute Selection: G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 (ODU MEDI-SNAP®)

The G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 qualifies as a functional substitute when operating temperature requirements do not exceed 120°C. This part provides enhanced current capacity (2.5A versus 2A) and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The substitute carries identical export classification (EAR99) and HTSUS coding. Higher inventory availability (1194 pieces) may support supply chain continuity.

Temperature Consideration:

Applications requiring sustained operation above 120°C must use the PKA.M1.4GL.LA. Applications with maximum operating temperature at or below 120°C may use either part based on availability and supply requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 be used as a direct replacement for PKA.M1.4GL.LA in all applications?

A: The G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 is functionally equivalent for applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 120°C. The PKA.M1.4GL.LA supports operation to 150°C. Verify application temperature requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these connectors?

A: The G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 provides 2.5A current capacity compared to 2A for the PKA.M1.4GL.LA. Both connectors feature gold-plated mating contacts, unshielded configuration, and IP50 ingress protection. No voltage rating is specified for either part.

Q: Are the mechanical interfaces identical?

A: Both connectors feature 14-position solder cup termination, panel mount configuration, and push-pull fastening. The PKA.M1.4GL.LA uses front and rear side nut mounting, while the G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 uses bulkhead front or rear side nut mounting. Both accommodate the same solder cup termination process.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8536.69.4020. The G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and REACH unaffected status. Compliance documentation for the PKA.M1.4GL.LA should be verified with LEMO.

Q: How do the packaging and inventory levels affect selection?

A: The PKA.M1.4GL.LA is available in 728 pieces (new original stock). The G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 is available in 1194 pieces (bulk packaging). Higher inventory of the substitute may support extended production runs or supply chain redundancy.

Q: Are there any application restrictions for the substitute part?

A: The G51MA7-P14LCC0-0060 is specified for Industrial, Medical, Military, and Testing Equipment & Measurement applications. The PKA.M1.4GL.LA covers Automotive, Industrial, Medical, and Testing Equipment & Measurement. Verify application category alignment before substitution.
