Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1096C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Layout: 96 positions in 3 rows × 32 columns configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Connector Type & Gender: Header with male pins
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole press-fit assembly
• Contact System: Gold finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mechanical Housing: Black color, UL94 V-0 rated material
• Series Compatibility: HPC™ series designation
• Connector Usage: Daughtercard application class

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1096CLF serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 50006-1096C. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine connector compatibility and PCB integration.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 50006-1096CLF is currently in active production status, whereas the 50006-1096C is classified as obsolete. Additionally, the 50006-1096CLF carries RoHS compliance certification, while the 50006-1096C does not.

For new designs and ongoing system support where component availability is a consideration, the 50006-1096CLF is the appropriate selection. The suffix "LF" designation in the part number indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing, representing the current industry standard for this connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50006-1096CLF be used as a direct replacement for the 50006-1096C in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical across all specified parameters. The 96-position layout, 0.100" pitch, press-fit termination, and contact specifications are equivalent. The connector will mate with existing daughtercard interfaces without modification.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in part number 50006-1096CLF indicate?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing. This reflects the current production standard for this connector series and does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Why is the 50006-1096C classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects the manufacturer's transition to RoHS-compliant production standards. The 50006-1096CLF represents the current active equivalent in the HPC™ series for this position count and configuration.

Q: Are there any differences in mating connector requirements between these parts?

A: No. Both the 50006-1096C and 50006-1096CLF are headers designed for daughtercard applications with identical mechanical interfaces. Existing mating connectors and receptacles are fully compatible with both variants.

Q: What is the current inventory status for these parts?

A: The 50006-1096C has 952 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 50006-1096CLF has 1087 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Availability of the obsolete variant may decline over time.
