Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PLA.M1.0GL.LG is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 10
• Mounting type: Panel Mount with Bulkhead - Rear Side Nut
• Termination method: Solder Cup
• Fastening type: Push-Pull, Detent Lock
• Shell material: Polysulfone (PSU)
• Contact finish: Gold
• Ingress protection: IP50 - Dust Protected
• Insert material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Shell size designation (M10 vs. equivalent numeric designation)
• Current rating (minimum 2.75A acceptable for 3A rated applications)
• Operating temperature range (minimum -50°C to 120°C acceptable for -50°C to 150°C rated applications)
• Contact material composition (brass or equivalent)
• Packaging format (bulk or standard)

The ODU G11MA7-P10LCC0-0070 meets all mandatory matching criteria and falls within allowable variation tolerances for current rating and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PLA.M1.0GL.LG and G11MA7-P10LCC0-0070 are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

PLA.M1.0GL.LG (LEMO) is the primary specification. Use this part number when:

• Design specifications explicitly require 3A current rating
• Operating temperature range must extend to 150°C
• LEMO series compatibility is required
• Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications mandate LEMO components

G11MA7-P10LCC0-0070 (ODU MEDI-SNAP®) is a qualified substitute. Use this part number when:

• Supply chain constraints affect LEMO availability
• Application current requirements do not exceed 2.75A
• Operating temperature range does not exceed 120°C
• ODU MEDI-SNAP® series integration is acceptable
• Cost or lead time optimization is a secondary design consideration

Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical contact geometry, and regulatory certifications. The ODU substitute is suitable for applications where the reduced current rating and operating temperature range do not conflict with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can G11MA7-P10LCC0-0070 be used as a direct replacement for PLA.M1.0GL.LG?

A: Yes, provided that application requirements do not exceed 2.75A current draw and the operating environment remains within -50°C to 120°C. All mechanical, electrical contact, and regulatory parameters are compatible.

Q: What is the difference between shell size M10 and shell size 1?

A: These designations refer to equivalent shell sizes using different naming conventions. M10 is the metric designation used by LEMO, while 1 is the numeric designation used by ODU. Both represent the same physical shell diameter and are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with solder cup termination between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical solder cup termination geometry and are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and solder reflow profiles.

Q: Does the ODU substitute maintain the same ingress protection rating?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated IP50 - Dust Protected and provide equivalent environmental sealing performance.

Q: What is the significance of the PEEK insert material in both parts?

A: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) provides superior mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance compared to standard thermoplastic materials. Both parts use PEEK inserts to ensure consistent contact retention and performance across the full operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both PLA.M1.0GL.LG and G11MA7-P10LCC0-0070 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial, medical, and automotive applications.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both parts are specified for automotive, industrial, medical, and testing equipment applications. The ODU substitute additionally supports military applications.
