Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1090A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

  • Connector type: Header, Male Pins
  • Connector style: High Density (HDC, HDI, HPC)
  • Number of positions: 90
  • Position configuration: 3 rows × 30 columns
  • Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
  • Mounting type: Through Hole
  • Termination method: Press-Fit
  • Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
  • Color: Black
  • Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
  • Connector usage: Daughtercard
  • Features: Mating Guide

The substitute part 50006-1090ALF maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 50006-1090A across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active production, whereas the original is obsolete.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1090ALF is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 50006-1090A. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, pitch, termination method, and contact characteristics.

The 50006-1090ALF offers the additional advantage of active production status and RoHS compliance, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing system support where the original part is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50006-1090ALF be used as a direct replacement for the 50006-1090A?

A: Yes. The 50006-1090ALF maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 50006-1090A. All connector parameters including position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, and contact specifications are identical.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 50006-1090A is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 50006-1090ALF is in active production and RoHS compliant. The "LF" suffix in the substitute part number indicates lead-free manufacturing.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 50006-1090ALF for the 50006-1090A?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC in the HPC™ series with identical specifications for connector type, style, position configuration, pitch, mounting, termination, and contact finish.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, which is the standard spacing between contact positions in this high density backplane connector series.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for through-hole PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both the 50006-1090A and 50006-1090ALF are designed for through-hole mounting with press-fit termination, making them suitable for direct PCB assembly without soldering.
