Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1072A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 72 positions (non-negotiable)
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Physical Configuration: 3 rows × 24 columns arrangement
• Connector Type: Header with male pins
• Mounting Technology: Through-hole press-fit termination
• Contact System: Gold-plated finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Mechanical Interface: High-density connector style with mating guide
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating
• Connector Usage: Daughtercard application class

The substitute part 50006-1072ALF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1072ALF serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 50006-1072A. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical 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 50006-1072A is classified as obsolete, while the 50006-1072ALF maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC. Additionally, the 50006-1072ALF achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part does not meet this requirement.

For new designs and ongoing system support where the 50006-1072A is specified, the 50006-1072ALF provides functional and mechanical interchangeability with the added benefit of current manufacturing availability and improved environmental compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1072A and 50006-1072ALF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical physical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.100"), row/column configuration (3×24), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (press-fit). They are designed for the same daughtercard connector applications.

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

A: The 50006-1072ALF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 50006-1072A. The substitute part maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I use the 50006-1072ALF as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 50006-1072A?

A: Yes. The 50006-1072ALF is a direct substitute with identical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and contact finish.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 50006-1072ALF meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements, while the 50006-1072A does not. This distinction is relevant for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer specifications requiring RoHS-compliant components.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical electrical specifications. The contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), connector type (male pins), and all other electrical characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Why should I transition from the 50006-1072A to the 50006-1072ALF?

A: The 50006-1072A is obsolete and subject to discontinuation. The 50006-1072ALF ensures continued availability, active manufacturer support, and compliance with current environmental standards while maintaining full functional and mechanical compatibility.
