PLG.M0.4GL.LA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PLG.M0.4GL.LA is a 4-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by LEMO, featuring female sockets with solder cup termination. This connector is designed for panel mount applications with bulkhead rear side nut mounting and operates across a temperature range of -50°C to 150°C. The product is currently active in production with 805 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are available from alternative manufacturers, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity without compromising connector performance in the specified application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PLG.M0.4GL.LA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Number of positions: 4
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with bulkhead rear side nut
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Shell material: Polysulfone (PSU)
• Contact finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Insert material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Ingress protection rating: IP50 minimum
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 8A
• Operating temperature range: Substitute must encompass or exceed -50°C to 150°C operational limits
• Shell size designation: Equivalent functional sizing acceptable
• Color: Variation permitted if all other parameters match
• Additional fastening features: Supplementary features (such as detent lock) permitted without compromising primary push-pull function

The ODU G11M07-P04LJG0-0060 meets these substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent 4-position circular connector receptacle with female sockets and solder cup termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (PLG.M0.4GL.LA): Select the LEMO PLG.M0.4GL.LA when the full operating temperature range of -50°C to 150°C is required. This part is actively manufactured and maintains 805 units in current inventory. Material flammability rating UL94 V-0 is specified for this connector.

Substitute Part Selection (G11M07-P04LJG0-0060): The ODU G11M07-P04LJG0-0060 is substitutable when operating temperatures do not exceed 120°C. This connector provides a 10A current rating, exceeding the 8A requirement of the primary part. The ODU MEDI-SNAP® series connector includes detent lock fastening in addition to push-pull functionality. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Inventory availability is 824 units.

Compliance Considerations: Both connectors are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4020. The ODU substitute carries explicit RoHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should account for specific temperature operational requirements and compliance documentation needs for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ODU G11M07-P04LJG0-0060 replace the LEMO PLG.M0.4GL.LA in all applications?

A: The ODU connector is substitutable for applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 120°C. The LEMO connector maintains functionality to 150°C. If your application requires operation above 120°C, the LEMO part is required.

Q: What is the significance of the detent lock feature on the ODU connector?

A: The ODU G11M07-P04LJG0-0060 includes detent lock fastening in addition to the primary push-pull mechanism. This supplementary feature does not prevent substitution; it provides additional mechanical retention without compromising the push-pull interface compatibility.

Q: Are the solder cup terminations identical between these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature solder cup termination. The mechanical and electrical interface for solder cup attachment is equivalent between the LEMO and ODU parts, allowing direct substitution in PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these connectors?

A: The LEMO PLG.M0.4GL.LA is rated for 8A, while the ODU G11M07-P04LJG0-0060 is rated for 10A. The ODU connector exceeds the current requirement, making it suitable for applications requiring the 8A specification.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same ingress protection standard?

A: Yes. Both the LEMO and ODU connectors provide IP50 ingress protection rating, indicating dust protection suitable for industrial and medical applications.

Q: What are the packaging differences?

A: The LEMO PLG.M0.4GL.LA is supplied in standard packaging. The ODU G11M07-P04LJG0-0060 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.

Q: Are there color options available?

A: The LEMO connector is specified in gray. The ODU connector is available in blue and gray color options. Color selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which connector should I select for medical device applications?

A: Both connectors are suitable for medical applications. The ODU connector carries explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Verify specific regulatory requirements for your medical device classification before final selection.
