Amphenol ICC 50000-1048Z Backplane Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 50000-1048Z is a 48-position receptacle connector featuring female sockets in a through-hole, right-angle configuration for PCB mounting. This connector is part of the HPC™ series and is currently classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 50000-1048Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Layout: 48 positions arranged in 3 rows × 16 columns
• Connector Configuration: Receptacle with female sockets
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle PCB mount with solder termination
• Contact Properties: Gold finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Physical Characteristics: Black color, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Series Compatibility: HPC™ series designation

The substitute part 50000-1048ZLF meets all these criteria identically, with the primary distinction being product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50000-1048ZLF is the direct substitute for the 50000-1048Z. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring form, fit, and function compatibility. The primary advantages of selecting the 50000-1048ZLF are:

• Active Product Status: The substitute maintains current manufacturing support and availability through Amphenol ICC, whereas the original part is obsolete.
• RoHS Compliance: The 50000-1048ZLF meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for applications subject to environmental and regulatory compliance mandates.
• Inventory Availability: Higher stock levels of the substitute part provide improved procurement reliability.

For applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement and the original part remains available, either part may be used interchangeably based on procurement and inventory considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50000-1048Z and 50000-1048ZLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical mounting configurations (through-hole, right-angle), PCB footprints, and physical dimensions. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 50000-1048ZLF is an active product with RoHS compliance, while the 50000-1048Z is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the 50000-1048ZLF in place of the 50000-1048Z in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full compatibility across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting style, contact finish, and flammability rating.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance of the 50000-1048ZLF affect performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance indicates the absence of restricted substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.) in the connector composition. Performance characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing, distinguishing it from the original non-compliant version.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layouts designed for the 50000-1048Z?

A: No. The substitute part uses the same footprint, pitch spacing (0.100"), and mounting configuration, requiring no PCB redesign.
