Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1048A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector position count: 48 positions
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Physical arrangement: 3 rows × 16 columns
• Connector type and gender: Header with male pins
• Mounting method: Through-hole press-fit termination
• Contact material and finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• Mechanical features: Mating guide inclusion
• Environmental rating: UL94 V-0 flammability classification
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in product status or RoHS compliance do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1048ALF serves as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the 50006-1048A. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the HPC™ series and maintain identical specifications across all connector parameters, including position count, pitch, row/column configuration, termination method, and contact finish.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 50006-1048A is classified as obsolete, while the 50006-1048ALF maintains active product status. Additionally, the 50006-1048ALF achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the 50006-1048A does not. For applications requiring RoHS-compliant components or long-term supply chain stability, the 50006-1048ALF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not mandated, either part satisfies the electrical and mechanical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1048A and 50006-1048ALF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specification, including contact material, finish thickness, and connector configuration. They are direct substitutes for daughtercard header applications.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the 50006-1048ALF part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing. This reflects the material composition and regulatory compliance status of the component.

Q: Can the 50006-1048ALF be used in applications originally designed for the 50006-1048A?

A: Yes. The 50006-1048ALF maintains identical mechanical and electrical characteristics, including through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, and 48-position high-density configuration. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical pitch (0.100"), row/column arrangement (3×16), and mounting specifications. Physical interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 50006-1048A has 763 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The 50006-1048ALF has 795 pieces in stock (active status). For new designs or ongoing procurement, the 50006-1048ALF is recommended due to active product support.
