Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRG.M0.5GL.LC65GZ is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle with female sockets
• Number of Positions: 5 positions
• Termination Method: Solder cup
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull with detent lock
• Shell Material: Polysulfone (PSU)
• Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
• Cable Opening Range: 0.209" ~ 0.256" (5.30mm ~ 6.50mm)
• Ingress Protection: IP50 dust protection
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

The substitute part K21M07-P05LJG0-657S (ODU MEDI-SNAP®) meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical connector architecture, termination approach, shell composition, contact plating, cable opening specifications, and regulatory compliance status. Differences in operating temperature range and current rating are within acceptable engineering tolerances for equivalent component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PRG.M0.5GL.LC65GZ and K21M07-P05LJG0-657S are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific operating temperature requirements and current capacity needs.

The LEMO PRG.M0.5GL.LC65GZ supports an extended operating temperature range of -50°C to 150°C with a 7A current rating. This configuration is suitable for high-temperature industrial and automotive applications.

The ODU K21M07-P05LJG0-657S operates within -50°C to 120°C with a 7.5A current rating and includes integrated strain relief features. This configuration is appropriate for medical and testing equipment applications where moderate temperature ranges and slightly elevated current capacity are acceptable.

Both connectors maintain identical mechanical compatibility, electrical contact architecture, and environmental protection ratings. Component selection should align with specific thermal and current requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size designations (M05/1), 5-position configuration, push-pull detent lock fastening, and cable opening specifications (0.209" ~ 0.256"). Mechanical mating is compatible.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range? A: The LEMO part operates to 150°C maximum, while the ODU part operates to 120°C maximum. Applications requiring sustained operation above 120°C must use the LEMO PRG.M0.5GL.LC65GZ.

Q: Are the current ratings equivalent? A: The LEMO part is rated at 7A, and the ODU part is rated at 7.5A. Both ratings are suitable for standard signal and low-power applications. Current selection should be based on circuit requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference in packaging? A: The LEMO PRG.M0.5GL.LC65GZ is supplied in standard packaging, while the ODU K21M07-P05LJG0-657S is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Can these connectors be used in medical applications? A: Both connectors are listed for medical applications. The ODU part explicitly includes medical designation in its series name (MEDI-SNAP®). Application-specific validation is required for medical device integration.
