Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1045A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector position count: 45 positions
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Physical arrangement: 3 rows × 15 columns
• Connector type and gender: Header with male pins
• Connector style classification: High density (HPC)
• Mounting method: Through hole
• Termination technology: Press-fit
• Contact material and finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• Housing color: Black
• Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0

Parts meeting all these criteria are considered direct functional equivalents. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute options relates to product status and regulatory compliance classifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1045ALF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 50006-1045A. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, row/column configuration, contact finish, and flammability rating.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the 50006-1045A is obsolete, while the 50006-1045ALF maintains active production status. Additionally, the 50006-1045ALF carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part does not. For new designs and ongoing system support where component availability is required, the 50006-1045ALF is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1045A and 50006-1045ALF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions, pin pitch (0.100"), position count (45), row/column arrangement (3×15), mounting type (through hole), and housing color (black). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts designed for either part.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 50006-1045A is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 50006-1045ALF is in active production and RoHS compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 50006-1045ALF as a replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 50006-1045A?

A: Yes. The 50006-1045ALF is a direct substitute with identical specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts maintain identical contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and all other electrical characteristics.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both the 50006-1045A and 50006-1045ALF feature gold-plated contacts with a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm).

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the available technical data for either component.
