Amphenol ICC 50006-1090C High Density Backplane Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 50006-1090C is a 90-position high density backplane connector header designed for daughtercard applications. This component features male pins with through-hole press-fit termination and is configured in a 3-row by 30-column layout with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1090C is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: connector position count (90), pitch spacing (0.100"), row and column configuration (3×30), connector type (header with male pins), mounting method (through hole), termination style (press-fit), contact finish specification (gold plating), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

The 50006-1090CLF meets all these criteria as a direct functional equivalent within the HPC™ series. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1090CLF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 50006-1090C. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HPC™ series. The 50006-1090CLF provides the additional advantage of RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing environments subject to RoHS directives.

For applications requiring the 50006-1090C, the 50006-1090CLF provides full functional interchangeability with enhanced compliance status. The transition from the obsolete to active part number involves only the addition of the "LF" suffix, indicating lead-free and RoHS-compliant processing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1090C and 50006-1090CLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 90 positions, 0.100" pitch, 3×30 configuration, through-hole mounting, and press-fit termination. Physical dimensions and PCB footprints are identical.

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

A: There is no functional difference. The 50006-1090CLF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 50006-1090C. The "LF" suffix indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free processing.

Q: Can I use the 50006-1090CLF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 50006-1090CLF is a direct replacement with identical electrical and mechanical performance. No design modifications are required.

Q: Why is the 50006-1090C listed as obsolete?

A: The 50006-1090C has been superseded by the 50006-1090CLF, which meets current RoHS compliance requirements. Amphenol ICC maintains the active 50006-1090CLF for ongoing production and support.

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

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

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in the part number?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing. This reflects current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component production.
