Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1018G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins; High Density)
• Position count and arrangement (18 positions, 3 rows × 6 columns)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Contact finish and thickness (Gold, 30.0µin)
• Physical color and flammability rating (Black, UL94 V-0)
• Base product family (50006 series)

The substitute part 50006-1018GLF meets all these criteria while offering active product status and improved compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1018GLF is the direct functional equivalent of the 50006-1018G. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: position count, pitch, mounting method, contact finish, and flammability rating.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status. The 50006-1018G is classified as obsolete, while the 50006-1018GLF maintains active product status. Additionally, the 50006-1018GLF achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the 50006-1018G is RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 50006-1018GLF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 50006-1018G is specified, the 50006-1018GLF provides direct substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50006-1018GLF directly replace the 50006-1018G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 50006-1018GLF is mechanically and electrically identical to the 50006-1018G across all specified parameters. Both components feature 18 positions in a 3×6 configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole press-fit termination, gold contact finish, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. No design modification is required.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 50006-1018GLF is RoHS compliant, while the 50006-1018G is not. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The 50006-1018GLF is the appropriate choice for systems requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Why is the 50006-1018G classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The 50006-1018GLF represents the active equivalent within the same HPC™ series and base product family (50006).

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both components are available in stock. The 50006-1018G has 993 units available, while the 50006-1018GLF has 872 units available. Packaging specifications are not provided in the technical data.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on exact equivalence in connector type, position count and arrangement, pitch, mounting method, termination type, contact finish specifications, color, and flammability rating. The 50006-1018GLF meets all these criteria.
