Amphenol ICC 50000-1069E Backplane Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 50000-1069E is a 69-position backplane connector receptacle featuring female sockets in a through-hole, right-angle configuration. This connector is part of the HPC™ series and is designed for PCB-mounted applications requiring high-density interconnection. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50000-1069E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 69 positions (non-negotiable)
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
• Physical Configuration: 3 rows by 23 columns matrix
• Connector Type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Mounting Method: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination Type: Solder connection
• Contact Material: Gold plating at specified thickness
• Mechanical Features: Mating guide inclusion
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The 50000-1069ELF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction lies in product status and RoHS compliance classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50000-1069ELF is the direct functional equivalent of the 50000-1069E. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, configuration, contact materials, and flammability ratings.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

• The 50000-1069E is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability (1040 units in current inventory).
• The 50000-1069ELF maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturing support and improved availability (705 units in current inventory).
• The 50000-1069ELF carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 50000-1069E does not.

For new designs and ongoing system support, the 50000-1069ELF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems currently using the 50000-1069E, direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50000-1069E and 50000-1069ELF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical physical dimensions, mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), and mating interface specifications. No PCB layout or mechanical assembly modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the "ELF" suffix in the 50000-1069ELF part number?

A: The "ELF" designation indicates RoHS compliance status. The 50000-1069ELF meets RoHS regulatory requirements, whereas the base 50000-1069E does not.

Q: Can the 50000-1069E be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The 50000-1069E is classified as RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the 50000-1069ELF.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors maintain identical contact materials (gold plating at 30.0µin thickness), termination methods (solder), and flammability ratings (UL94 V-0). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important for substitution?

A: Both connectors operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, the standard spacing between contact positions. This specification is critical for PCB footprint compatibility and mating interface alignment.

Q: Are both connectors available in the same packaging configuration?

A: Both connectors are supplied as individual components for PCB mounting. Packaging specifications were not provided in the technical data.

Q: What does the "69 positions" specification mean?

A: The connector accommodates 69 individual signal or power contacts arranged in a 3-row by 23-column matrix. All 69 positions are loaded with contacts in both the main part and substitute.
