Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50004-1368E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Receptacle, Female Sockets, High Density)
• Position count and configuration (368 positions, 4×92 arrangement)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Mating guide feature presence

The 50004-1368ELF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HPC™ series architecture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50004-1368ELF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 50004-1368E. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring direct form, fit, and function compatibility.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 50004-1368E is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 50004-1368ELF is active and RoHS Compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the 50004-1368ELF is the specified choice. For legacy system maintenance where the original part is unavailable, the 50004-1368ELF provides equivalent performance with improved compliance status.

Both parts share MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50004-1368ELF be used as a direct replacement for the 50004-1368E?

A: Yes. The 50004-1368ELF is a direct substitute. All mechanical dimensions, electrical specifications, contact configurations, and mounting characteristics are identical. The connector will mate with the same complementary components and occupy the same PCB footprint.

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

A: The primary differences are product lifecycle status and RoHS compliance. The 50004-1368E is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 50004-1368ELF is currently active production and RoHS Compliant. The "LF" suffix in the 50004-1368ELF designation indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 50004-1368ELF for the 50004-1368E?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) within the HPC™ series and share identical specifications for positions, pitch, mounting type, termination method, and contact finish.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both the 50004-1368E and 50004-1368ELF are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning they have no moisture sensitivity restrictions and require no special storage or handling precautions.

Q: Is the 50004-1368ELF available in stock?

A: According to current inventory data, 654 pieces of the 50004-1368ELF are available as new original stock.
