TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 501050-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 501050-1 is a fiber optic coupler connector designed for FSMA receptacle-to-FSMA receptacle panel mount, bulkhead applications in simplex configurations. This component functions as an adapter to join two FSMA receptacle connectors in a single-channel fiber optic transmission system.

The 501050-1 is classified as an obsolete product. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility, ensure continued availability for maintenance and repair operations, and support legacy installations requiring replacement components.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for fiber optic coupler connectors is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type (coupler)
• Connector interface standard (FSMA receptacle on both ends)
• Simplex configuration (single-channel operation)
• Mounting method (panel mount, bulkhead)
• Connector gender and orientation (receptacle-to-receptacle)

The Phoenix Contact 2799416 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters. Both components are FSMA receptacle-to-FSMA receptacle simplex couplers with panel mount, bulkhead installation methods.

Differences in product status, operating temperature range, ingress protection rating, and compliance certifications do not affect the core substitution relationship, as these parameters define operational context rather than physical or electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 2799416 as Primary Substitute:

The Phoenix Contact 2799416 is the qualified substitute for the TE Connectivity 501050-1. Both components share identical core specifications for connector interface, configuration, and mounting method, establishing direct functional equivalence.

The Phoenix Contact 2799416 holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. This component carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for new installations and system upgrades.

The operating temperature range of the Phoenix Contact 2799416 (-20°C to 70°C) is narrower than the original part (-40°C to 85°C). Component selection should account for the specific thermal environment of the application. The Phoenix Contact 2799416 includes IP20 ingress protection, providing enhanced environmental sealing compared to the unspecified rating of the original part.

Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99, maintaining consistent export control status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2799416 directly replace the TE Connectivity 501050-1 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are FSMA receptacle-to-FSMA receptacle simplex couplers with identical panel mount, bulkhead configurations. Physical and electrical compatibility is established. Operating temperature range differences must be evaluated against the specific thermal requirements of the application environment.

Q: What is the primary reason the TE Connectivity 501050-1 requires substitution?

A: The 501050-1 is classified as an obsolete product. The Phoenix Contact 2799416 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability and ongoing manufacturer support, ensuring reliable sourcing for replacement and maintenance applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 2799416 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The TE Connectivity 501050-1 lists RoHS status as not applicable and REACH status as vendor undefined. Both components share EAR99 export control classification. Compliance requirements should be evaluated against the regulatory framework applicable to the end application.

Q: What is the significance of the IP20 ingress protection rating on the Phoenix Contact 2799416?

A: IP20 ingress protection indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and no protection against liquid ingress. This specification is provided for the Phoenix Contact 2799416 but not specified for the original part. Environmental exposure conditions should be assessed to determine whether this rating is adequate for the installation location.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The TE Connectivity 501050-1 operates from -40°C to 85°C. The Phoenix Contact 2799416 operates from -20°C to 70°C. The substitute part has a narrower temperature envelope. Applications requiring operation below -20°C or above 70°C require evaluation of thermal compatibility before component substitution.

Q: What packaging is available for the Phoenix Contact 2799416?

A: The Phoenix Contact 2799416 is supplied in bulk packaging. The original TE Connectivity 501050-1 packaging specification is not provided in the available data.
