Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 172-050-282-021 are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type and gender (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
  • Position count and row configuration (50 positions, 3 rows)
  • Shell size designation (5 / DD, D)
  • Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
  • Termination method (Solder)
  • Material specifications (Steel shell with nickel plating; Brass contacts with gold flash)
  • Electrical performance (5A current rating; -50°C to 125°C operating range)
  • Compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part 172-050-283L021 meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.
