Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Rear Side Nut
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Shell Material: Polysulfone (PSU)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Ingress Protection: IP50 - Dust Protected
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Insert Material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 3A
• Operating Temperature: Substitute must support the full range of -50°C to 150°C or a subset thereof
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull with or without additional detent lock features
• Orientation: May differ (B vs. C)
• Number of Positions: May vary based on shell size compatibility

The substitute part G11MC7-P10LCC0-0070 from ODU meets the mandatory matching criteria with documented compatibility in circular connector receptacle applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The G11MC7-P10LCC0-0070 substitute part is classified as Active and maintains full compliance with EAR99 export control and HTSUS tariff classifications identical to the main part. Both connectors share the same ECCN designation, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Critical Considerations for Selection:

The substitute part operates at a maximum current rating of 2.75A, which is 0.25A below the main part's 3A specification. Applications requiring the full 3A capacity must retain the PLB.M1.0GL.LG.

The substitute part's maximum operating temperature is 120°C, compared to the main part's 150°C upper limit. Applications requiring sustained operation above 120°C must use the PLB.M1.0GL.LG.

The substitute part includes an additional Detent Lock feature in its fastening mechanism, providing enhanced mechanical retention beyond the standard Push-Pull interface. This feature does not prevent substitution but may alter mating behavior in applications designed for standard push-pull operation only.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status under ROHS3 (substitute) and equivalent regulatory frameworks, supporting use in medical, industrial, and automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can G11MC7-P10LCC0-0070 be used as a direct replacement for PLB.M1.0GL.LG in all applications?

A: No. The substitute part has a lower current rating (2.75A vs. 3A) and a narrower operating temperature range (-50°C to 120°C vs. -50°C to 150°C). Applications operating above 120°C or requiring 3A capacity must use the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the Detent Lock feature in the substitute part?

A: The G11MC7-P10LCC0-0070 includes a Detent Lock mechanism in addition to its Push-Pull fastening. This provides additional mechanical locking during mating. Applications designed for standard push-pull operation without detent features should evaluate this difference before substitution.

Q: Are both parts suitable for medical applications?

A: Yes. Both PLB.M1.0GL.LG and G11MC7-P10LCC0-0070 are listed for medical applications. Both maintain active product status and equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: How do the shell sizes differ between these parts?

A: The main part specifies Shell Size - Insert as M10. The substitute part specifies Shell Size - Insert as 1. These designations reflect different manufacturer sizing conventions but both parts are designed for panel mount bulkhead applications with rear side nut mounting.

Q: What is the contact material difference?

A: The main part does not specify contact material in the provided data. The substitute part specifies Brass contacts with Gold mating finish. Both maintain Gold contact finish for mating surfaces.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for substitution?

A: The main part PLB.M1.0GL.LG has 828 pieces in stock. The substitute part G11MC7-P10LCC0-0070 has 769 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original inventory.

Q: Do both parts support the same applications?

A: Both parts support Industrial, Medical, and Testing Equipment & Measurement applications. The main part additionally lists Automotive applications. Application suitability should be verified against specific current and temperature requirements.
