Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 50006-1048C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins; High Density HPC)
• Position count and arrangement (48 positions, 3 rows × 16 columns)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Contact material and finish (Gold plating, 30.0µin thickness)
• Physical color and form factor (Black)
• Flammability certification (UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between the main part and available substitutes is product status and RoHS compliance. The 50006-1048C is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while active substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with updated compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1048CLF serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 50006-1048C. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, pitch, termination method, and contact finish. The key differentiator is product status and regulatory compliance: the 50006-1048CLF is an active product with RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 50006-1048C is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs or system upgrades, the 50006-1048CLF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, the 50006-1048C remains functionally equivalent if inventory is available. Both parts carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and moisture sensitivity classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1048C and 50006-1048CLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, position count (48), row/column arrangement (3×16), pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through hole), and termination style (press-fit). Physical form factor and contact configuration are identical.

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

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free and RoHS compliant manufacturing. This reflects updated environmental and regulatory compliance standards while maintaining functional equivalence to the original part.

Q: Can the 50006-1048C be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The 50006-1048C is explicitly RoHS non-compliant. Applications with RoHS compliance requirements must use the 50006-1048CLF.

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

A: No. Both parts specify gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Contact material and finish specifications are identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts suitable for daughtercard applications?

A: Yes. Both components are specified for daughtercard connector usage within the HPC™ series backplane connector family.
