Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50003-1360E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Receptacle, Female Sockets, High Density)
• Electrical configuration (360 positions, 4 rows × 90 columns)
• Mechanical interface (0.100" pitch, through-hole, right-angle mounting)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact specifications (Gold finish, 30.0µin thickness)
• Physical features (Mating Guide)

The 50003-1360ELF meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement in applications currently using the 50003-1360E.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50003-1360ELF is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 50003-1360E. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and functional interchangeability in existing designs.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance. The 50003-1360ELF is an active product with RoHS compliance, whereas the 50003-1360E is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and production applications, the 50003-1360ELF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems currently using the 50003-1360E, the 50003-1360ELF provides a compliant replacement path without requiring design modification.
