Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SKN.M08.GLLG qualifies as a direct substitute for the XKN.M08.GLLG based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are 8-position receptacles with female sockets
• Shell Size: Identical M08 insert size ensures mechanical compatibility
• Termination Method: Both utilize solder cup termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type matches across both parts
• Electrical Specifications: Current rating (5A), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 170°C) are identical
• Material Composition: Both feature sulfone shell material and PEEK insert material
• Ingress Protection: IP50 dust protection rating is consistent
• Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 and REACH requirements

The primary distinction is product status: XKN.M08.GLLG is obsolete, while SKN.M08.GLLG is active. The SKN.M08.GLLG represents the current production equivalent within the LEMO circular connector portfolio.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SKN.M08.GLLG is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement applications requiring an 8-position M08 circular connector receptacle with solder cup termination. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete XKN.M08.GLLG while offering the advantage of active product status and current manufacturing support.

Both parts satisfy identical compliance requirements under ROHS3 and REACH regulations, with matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The transition from the XP series (XKN.M08.GLLG) to the SP series (SKN.M08.GLLG) represents a standard product line evolution within LEMO's connector portfolio, with no degradation in performance specifications or material standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are XKN.M08.GLLG and SKN.M08.GLLG mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (M08), mounting configuration (panel mount with front and rear side nut), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). They are mechanically interchangeable in panel mount applications.

Q: Do these connectors have identical electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A current and operate across the same temperature range (-50°C ~ 170°C). Contact finish (gold) and mating surface specifications are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the XP and SP series designations?

A: The XP series (XKN.M08.GLLG) is obsolete, while the SP series (SKN.M08.GLLG) is the active production equivalent. The series designation reflects product line evolution within LEMO's circular connector offerings. Functional and performance characteristics remain equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The XKN.M08.GLLG is listed with unspecified packaging, while the SKN.M08.GLLG is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the XKN.M08.GLLG and SKN.M08.GLLG are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4020) classifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in medical and industrial applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified for industrial, medical, and testing equipment applications. The PEEK insert material and gold-plated contacts support these application requirements.
