Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 50006-1108C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 108 positions (non-negotiable)
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
• Physical Configuration: 3-row, 36-column matrix layout
• Connector Type and Gender: Header with male pins
• Mounting Technology: Through-hole press-fit termination
• Contact Material and Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin thickness
• Mechanical Housing: Black color, UL94 V-0 rated material
• Series Compatibility: HPC™ series designation

The substitute part 50006-1108CLF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, with the primary distinction being product status and RoHS compliance classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1108CLF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 50006-1108C. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the HPC™ series, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and interchangeability in daughtercard backplane applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 50006-1108CLF is classified as active and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 50006-1108C is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or system refreshes, the 50006-1108CLF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part specification must be maintained, the 50006-1108C remains available in current inventory (1097 units), though long-term availability cannot be assured given its obsolete status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1108C and 50006-1108CLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical 108-position, 3-row × 36-column configurations with 0.100" pitch, through-hole press-fit mounting, and gold-plated contacts. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the "CLF" suffix in the part number?

A: The "CLF" suffix indicates RoHS compliance and active product status. The base part number 50006-1108 identifies the core connector specification; the suffix denotes manufacturing and compliance variants.

Q: Can I use the 50006-1108CLF in a system originally designed for the 50006-1108C?

A: Yes. The electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The 50006-1108CLF is the recommended replacement for new procurement and system updates.

Q: Why is the 50006-1108C classified as obsolete?

A: Amphenol ICC has transitioned this connector to the RoHS-compliant 50006-1108CLF variant. The original part remains available in limited inventory but is no longer actively manufactured.

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, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and reliability.

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

A: The 50006-1108C has 1097 units in stock (new original). The 50006-1108CLF has 1158 units in stock (new original). Inventory levels are subject to change.
