Hi,  
I have 2 connectors, 879-22-004-10-011101 & 878-22-004-00-011101  
Do they mate each other?

Regards,  
Nanjunda M

Hello nanjunda,

Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.  
These are not mating connectors. They may match up, but both have spring contacts.  
The mating connector for 878-22-004-00-011101 is obsolete, and the manufacturer recommended replacement is [54-879-20-004-00-011000-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mill-max-manufacturing-corp/879-20-004-00-011000/21326142).  
I do not see a mate to 879-22-004-10-011101, that have the magnetic inserts.
