Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1180C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and style (Header, Male Pins; High Density)
• Position count and arrangement (180 positions, 3 rows × 60 columns)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting and termination method (Through Hole, Press-Fit)
• Contact material and finish (Gold, 30.0µin thickness)
• Physical color and flammability rating (Black, UL94 V-0)
• Base product family (50006 series)

The substitute part 50006-1180CLF meets all these criteria and represents the direct active production equivalent within the HPC™ series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1180CLF is the direct functional equivalent of the 50006-1180C. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is in active production.

For new designs and ongoing system support, the 50006-1180CLF is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full compatibility with existing mating interfaces and PCB layouts designed for the 50006-1180C. Additionally, the 50006-1180CLF carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part does not, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 50006-1180C and 50006-1180CLF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions, pitch, position count, mounting type, and termination method. PCB layouts and mating connectors designed for one part are fully compatible with the other.

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

A: The "CLF" suffix indicates RoHS compliance and active production status within the HPC™ series. The original 50006-1180C lacks this designation and is no longer manufactured.

Q: Can the 50006-1180CLF be used as a direct replacement in legacy systems?

A: Yes. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the original. No design modifications are required for integration into existing systems.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 50006-1180CLF is RoHS compliant, while the 50006-1180C is not. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when sourcing?

A: The 50006-1180C has 1012 pieces available as new original stock. The 50006-1180CLF has 875 pieces available. For long-term supply assurance, the active production status of the 50006-1180CLF provides greater availability through standard distribution channels.
