Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50004-1360E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Receptacle, Female Sockets, High Density)
• Position count and array configuration (360 positions, 4 rows × 90 columns)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method and orientation (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Series designation (HPC™)

The 50004-1360ELF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete, while the substitute is active in production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50004-1360ELF is the appropriate selection for new designs and production applications. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 50004-1360E while offering the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance. The obsolete status of the original part creates supply risk; the substitute ensures long-term availability and regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

For existing designs currently using the 50004-1360E, the 50004-1360ELF provides a direct replacement without requiring PCB layout modifications or connector interface changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50004-1360E and 50004-1360ELF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch, mounting configuration, and contact arrangement. They are pin-for-pin and footprint-compatible.

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

A: The "ELF" designation indicates RoHS compliance and active production status. The original 50004-1360E is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete.

Q: Can the 50004-1360ELF be used in applications originally designed for the 50004-1360E?

A: Yes. The substitute meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part. No design changes are required.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on market demand and production decisions. The availability of the RoHS-compliant 50004-1360ELF alternative addresses this transition.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The primary compliance difference is RoHS status. The 50004-1360ELF is RoHS compliant, while the original is not. Both share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: The 50004-1360E has 1004 pieces in stock (new original). The 50004-1360ELF has 1182 pieces in stock (new original, active production).
