Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector Type & Style: Header with male pins in high-density configuration (HDC, HDI, HPC series)
• Position Count & Layout: Exactly 240 positions arranged in 3 rows × 80 columns
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole press-fit termination method
• Contact Properties: Gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Physical Characteristics: Black color with mating guide feature
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: UL94 V-0 flammability classification

The substitute part must maintain identical electrical and mechanical interfaces to ensure direct compatibility in existing PCB designs and mating connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50006-1240GLF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 50006-1240G. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, termination method, and contact properties.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 50006-1240G is classified as obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status, while the 50006-1240GLF maintains active product status with full RoHS compliance. For new designs and ongoing system support where regulatory compliance is required, the 50006-1240GLF is the appropriate selection. The "GLF" suffix designation indicates the RoHS-compliant variant within the same HPC™ series architecture.

Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and maintain the same base product number (50006), confirming their interchangeability at the functional level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50006-1240GLF directly replace the 50006-1240G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 50006-1240GLF is mechanically and electrically identical to the 50006-1240G. Both components feature the same 240-position high-density header configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole press-fit termination, and gold contact finish. PCB layouts and mating connectors designed for the 50006-1240G require no modification to accommodate the 50006-1240GLF.

Q: What does the "GLF" suffix indicate?

A: The "GLF" suffix designates the RoHS-compliant variant of the base 50006-1240 connector header. This suffix indicates compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any differences in contact properties between these parts?

A: No. Both the 50006-1240G and 50006-1240GLF feature identical gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and maintain the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Why is the 50006-1240G classified as obsolete?

A: The 50006-1240G has been superseded by the 50006-1240GLF, which provides the same functionality with RoHS compliance and active manufacturing support. Amphenol ICC has transitioned production to the compliant variant.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important?

A: The pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm), representing the center-to-center distance between adjacent connector pins. This specification is critical for PCB layout design and mating connector selection. Any substitute part must maintain this exact pitch to ensure proper alignment and electrical contact.

Q: Are both parts suitable for daughtercard applications?

A: Yes. Both the 50006-1240G and 50006-1240GLF are designed for daughtercard connector usage with through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.
