Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRG.M0.5GL.LC52Z is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 5 female socket positions
• Termination Method: Solder cup termination for direct PCB or wire attachment
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull detent lock coupling system
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surfaces for corrosion resistance
• Ingress Protection: IP50 dust protection rating
• Shell Material: Polysulfone (PSU) construction
• Insert Material: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) insulation
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The identified substitute part K21M07-P05LJG0-527S from ODU meets all critical substitution criteria within allowable parameter tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PRG.M0.5GL.LC52Z and K21M07-P05LJG0-527S maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, qualifying both for use in regulated applications including medical and automotive environments.

The K21M07-P05LJG0-527S provides a higher current rating of 7.5A compared to the 7A specification of the primary part, offering improved margin for applications with variable load conditions. However, the ODU substitute operates within a reduced maximum temperature range of -50°C to 120°C, compared to the LEMO part's -50°C to 150°C capability. Selection between these parts must account for the specific operating temperature requirements of the target application.

Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces, cable opening dimensions, and termination methods, ensuring direct substitution feasibility at the assembly level when temperature constraints are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K21M07-P05LJG0-527S be used as a direct replacement for PRG.M0.5GL.LC52Z?

A: Direct substitution is possible when the application operating temperature does not exceed 120°C. The ODU connector is limited to this maximum temperature, while the LEMO part operates to 150°C. All other mechanical and electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these connectors?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector type (receptacle, female sockets), position count (5), termination method (solder cup), fastening mechanism (push-pull detent lock), contact finish (gold), and shell/insert materials (PSU/PEEK). Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in current handling capability?

A: The ODU substitute is rated for 7.5A compared to the LEMO part's 7A rating. This represents a 7% increase in current capacity and does not restrict substitution in applications requiring the lower rating.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The LEMO PRG.M0.5GL.LC52Z is supplied in standard packaging with 798 units currently in inventory. The ODU K21M07-P05LJG0-527S is supplied in bulk packaging with 1028 units available. Packaging format does not affect connector compatibility or performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, qualifying them for use in medical, automotive, industrial, and testing equipment applications subject to these regulatory frameworks.
