Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRG.M0.5GL.LC65Z is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 5 female sockets
• Termination Method: Solder cup termination for PCB integration
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull detent lock engagement
• Shell Material & Contact Finish: Polysulfone housing with gold-plated mating surfaces
• Ingress Protection: IP50 dust protection rating
• Cable Opening Dimensions: 0.209" ~ 0.256" (5.30mm ~ 6.50mm) compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The substitute part K21M07-P05LJG0-657S (ODU MEDI-SNAP®) meets all critical substitution criteria across these parameters, enabling direct functional equivalence in applications where the main part is unavailable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PRG.M0.5GL.LC65Z and K21M07-P05LJG0-657S maintain active product status with full ROHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

PRG.M0.5GL.LC65Z (LEMO) is the primary specification. Use this part when the design explicitly requires the LEMO 1P series connector or when the extended operating temperature range of -50°C to 150°C is necessary for the application.

K21M07-P05LJG0-657S (ODU MEDI-SNAP®) serves as a functional equivalent when LEMO availability is constrained. This substitute provides a current rating of 7.5A, exceeding the primary part's 7A specification. The operating temperature range of -50°C to 120°C is suitable for most industrial, medical, and testing equipment applications. The inclusion of strain relief features in the ODU connector provides additional mechanical protection during cable routing.

Both connectors are suitable for automotive, industrial, medical, and testing equipment applications. Inventory availability is comparable, with LEMO maintaining 1096 units and ODU maintaining 893 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K21M07-P05LJG0-657S be used as a direct replacement for PRG.M0.5GL.LC65Z?

A: Yes, the K21M07-P05LJG0-657S functions as a direct substitute. Both connectors share identical 5-position female socket configurations, solder cup termination, push-pull detent lock fastening, and IP50 ingress protection. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Current rating—ODU provides 7.5A versus LEMO's 7A; (2) Operating temperature range—LEMO extends to 150°C while ODU reaches 120°C; (3) Strain relief—ODU includes strain relief features while LEMO does not list this feature; (4) Series designation—LEMO uses the 1P series while ODU uses the MEDI-SNAP® series.

Q: Which connector should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The PRG.M0.5GL.LC65Z (LEMO) is specified for -50°C to 150°C operation. If your application requires sustained operation above 120°C, the LEMO connector is the appropriate choice. The ODU substitute is rated to 120°C maximum.

Q: Are both connectors compliant with automotive and medical standards?

A: Both connectors are listed for automotive, industrial, medical, and testing equipment applications. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Verify specific application standards (ISO, IEC, FDA) with the respective manufacturers if required for your end-use application.

Q: What is the cable opening specification, and does it affect substitution?

A: Both connectors accept cable diameters of 0.209" to 0.256" (5.30mm to 6.50mm). This specification is identical between the two parts, ensuring compatibility with existing cable assemblies.

Q: Does the ODU connector's strain relief feature affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. The strain relief feature on the K21M07-P05LJG0-657S is an additional protective element that does not interfere with the connector's mating interface or solder cup termination. It provides supplementary mechanical support without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility.
