Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector position count: 18 positions
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Physical arrangement: 3 rows × 6 columns
• Connector type and gender: Header with male pins
• Connector style classification: High Density (HDC, HDI, HPC)
• Mounting method: Through Hole
• Termination technology: Press-Fit
• Contact material and finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Housing color: Black
• Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 50006-1018PLF maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1018PLF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 50006-1018P. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in daughtercard applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 50006-1018P is classified as obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status, while the 50006-1018PLF maintains active product status with full RoHS compliance. For new designs and ongoing system support, the 50006-1018PLF is the appropriate selection.

Both parts maintain equivalent performance characteristics within the HPC™ series high density backplane connector family, with identical contact finish specifications, flammability ratings, and moisture sensitivity classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1018P and 50006-1018PLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions, pitch specifications (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (18), row and column arrangement (3×6), and mounting type (through-hole press-fit). They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in the 50006-1018PLF part number?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free and RoHS compliant construction. The 50006-1018PLF meets RoHS regulatory requirements, whereas the original 50006-1018P does not.

Q: Can the 50006-1018PLF be used in applications originally designed for the 50006-1018P?

A: Yes. The 50006-1018PLF maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification. The RoHS compliant status represents an improvement in regulatory alignment without affecting functional performance.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating specifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and reliability characteristics.

Q: What is the current availability status of these components?

A: The 50006-1018P is obsolete with limited inventory (995 pcs). The 50006-1018PLF is active with current inventory availability (660 pcs). For new procurements, the 50006-1018PLF should be specified.
