Amphenol ICC 50006-1240D High Density Backplane Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 50006-1240D is a 240-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 80-column layout with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The part is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs requiring this connector specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 50006-1240D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 240 positions (non-negotiable)
• Physical Layout: 3 rows × 80 columns configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Connector Type: Header with male pins
• Mounting Method: Through-hole press-fit termination
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Mechanical Housing: Black high-density connector body with mating guide
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The substitute part 50006-1240DLF 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 50006-1240DLF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 50006-1240D. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector position count, pitch, termination method, contact finish, and flammability rating.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 50006-1240DLF is classified as active and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 50006-1240D is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term component availability, the 50006-1240DLF is the appropriate selection. The substitute part maintains full pin-for-pin and form-factor compatibility with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50006-1240DLF be used as a direct replacement for the 50006-1240D in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 50006-1240DLF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 50006-1240D across all specified parameters, including connector position count, pitch, mounting type, contact finish, and flammability rating. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the 50006-1240D and 50006-1240DLF part numbers?

A: The suffix "LF" in the 50006-1240DLF designation indicates RoHS compliance and active product status. The 50006-1240D is obsolete and does not meet RoHS requirements. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 50006-1240DLF for the 50006-1240D?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts conform to the same HPC™ series specification with identical 240-position, 3-row by 80-column configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole press-fit termination, and gold contact finish.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the 50006-1240DLF meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 50006-1240DLF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Is the 50006-1240D still available for procurement?

A: The 50006-1240D is classified as obsolete. The 50006-1240DLF is the active equivalent and is the recommended part for new designs and ongoing procurement.
