• Termination Method: Solder cup for PCB assembly
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-Pull coupling system
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated mating surfaces
• Current & Voltage Ratings: 5A current capacity
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -50°C to 170°C capability
• Ingress Protection: IP50 dust protection level

The following parts meet these substitution criteria:

Direct Substitute: SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ (LEMO SP Series) Similar Substitute: PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ (LEMO 1P Series)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ is the primary substitute for XAN.M08.GLA.3GZ. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including shell size, termination method, current rating, and operating temperature range. The SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance for new designs and replacements.

PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ is a compatible alternative with the following considerations: it features a detent lock fastening mechanism in addition to push-pull coupling, providing enhanced mechanical retention. The orientation differs (G versus N), and the operating temperature maximum is reduced to 150°C. The cable opening range is slightly narrower (2.70mm minimum versus 2.50mm). This part is suitable for applications where the lower temperature rating and different orientation are acceptable, and where the additional detent lock feature provides system benefits.

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ directly replace XAN.M08.GLA.3GZ?

A: Yes. Both parts are 8-position M08 circular connector plugs with solder cup termination, gold-plated contacts, 5A current rating, and identical operating temperature ranges (-50°C to 170°C). The primary difference is product status: XAN.M08.GLA.3GZ is obsolete while SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ is active.

Q: What are the key differences between SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ and PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ?

A: The main differences are: (1) fastening type—PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ includes a detent lock in addition to push-pull, (2) orientation—PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ uses orientation G versus N, (3) operating temperature maximum—PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ is rated to 150°C versus 170°C, and (4) cable opening minimum—PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ accepts 2.70mm minimum versus 2.50mm. Shell material differs slightly: Sulfone versus Polysulfone (PSU).

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. XAN.M08.GLA.3GZ, SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ, and PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and medical applications.

Q: Which substitute should I select for a high-temperature application?

A: SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ maintains the full operating temperature range of -50°C to 170°C, matching the original XAN.M08.GLA.3GZ specification. PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ is limited to -50°C to 150°C and is not suitable for applications requiring operation above 150°C.

Q: Does cable diameter compatibility differ between these parts?

A: Yes. XAN.M08.GLA.3GZ and SAN.M08.GLA.3GZ accept cable diameters of 0.098" to 0.154" (2.50mm to 3.90mm). PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ accepts 0.106" to 0.154" (2.70mm to 3.90mm), with a higher minimum diameter. Verify cable specifications before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the detent lock feature in PAG.M0.8GL.AC39GZ?

A: The detent lock provides positive mechanical engagement in addition to the push-pull coupling mechanism, offering enhanced connection security. This feature is beneficial in applications subject to vibration or mechanical stress where accidental disconnection must be prevented.
