Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRG.M0.8GL.LC65Z is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 8 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 contacts
• 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-P08LFG0-657S (ODU MEDI-SNAP®) meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in operating temperature range, current rating, and series designation are documented for engineering evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PRG.M0.8GL.LC65Z and K21M07-P08LFG0-657S are active production parts with full ROHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

PRG.M0.8GL.LC65Z (LEMO) is suitable for applications requiring the full specified current rating of 5A and operating temperature range to 150°C. This part provides maximum thermal and electrical headroom for demanding industrial and automotive environments.

K21M07-P08LFG0-657S (ODU MEDI-SNAP®) is suitable for applications where the current requirement does not exceed 3.85A and operating temperature does not exceed 120°C. This part includes integrated strain relief and is optimized for medical and testing equipment applications. Both parts share identical mechanical interfaces, shell materials, contact finishes, and ingress protection ratings, ensuring form-fit-function compatibility in connector mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K21M07-P08LFG0-657S replace PRG.M0.8GL.LC65Z in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when application current requirements do not exceed 3.85A and operating temperature does not exceed 120°C. The mechanical interface, solder cup termination, and push-pull detent lock fastening are identical. Verify current and temperature specifications in your application before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating (5A vs. 3.85A), maximum operating temperature (150°C vs. 120°C), and the inclusion of strain relief on the ODU part. Both parts use identical shell materials (Polysulfone), contact finishes (Gold), cable opening dimensions, and ingress protection ratings.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: PRG.M0.8GL.LC65Z is available in standard packaging with 677 units in stock. K21M07-P08LFG0-657S is available in bulk packaging with 929 units in stock. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4020.

Q: What is the shell size designation difference between M08 and 1?

A: M08 (LEMO designation) and 1 (ODU designation) refer to equivalent shell sizes within their respective manufacturer standards. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical compatibility for mating cycles and cable opening dimensions.
