Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1036A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Header with male pins in high density configuration
• Position Count & Layout: Exactly 36 positions in 3×12 arrangement
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole PCB mounting with press-fit termination
• Contact Properties: Gold finish at specified thickness
• Physical Characteristics: Black color, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Series Designation: HPC™ series compatibility

The primary substitute identified maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility while differing in product status and regulatory compliance classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1036ALF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the 50006-1036A. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the HPC™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, termination method, and contact properties.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory and availability status. The 50006-1036A is classified as obsolete, while the 50006-1036ALF maintains active product status. Additionally, the 50006-1036ALF carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part does not. For new designs and ongoing system support where component availability is a consideration, the 50006-1036ALF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact original specifications, the 50006-1036A remains functionally equivalent where inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1036A and 50006-1036ALF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical specifications including 36-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, 3×12 layout, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination. Physical dimensions and PCB footprints are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the 50006-1036ALF part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free and RoHS compliant manufacturing. This reflects the regulatory compliance status of the part, distinguishing it from the non-compliant original variant.

Q: Can the 50006-1036ALF be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 50006-1036A?

A: Yes. The electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete. The 50006-1036ALF maintains the same contact finish, gold plating thickness, connector style, and all functional parameters required for daughtercard applications.

Q: Are there any differences in contact reliability or performance between these parts?

A: No differences are specified in the provided technical parameters. Both components feature identical gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Why would an engineer select the obsolete 50006-1036A over the active 50006-1036ALF?

A: Selection of the obsolete part would be limited to legacy system maintenance scenarios where exact original component matching is required and inventory is available. For all new designs and ongoing procurement, the active 50006-1036ALF is the standard choice.
