Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TE Connectivity 5050462-8

The TE Connectivity 5050462-8 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 50462-8. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pin diameter acceptance range (0.014" ~ 0.026"), overall length (0.178"), socket depth (0.165"), and mounting hole diameter (0.052"). The 5050462-8 offers active product status with 20,876 units in stock, compared to the obsolete 50462-8. Additionally, the 5050462-8 achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. Operating temperature capability extends to 126°C, providing a 1°C improvement over the original specification. Both parts maintain identical contact material (beryllium copper), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited).

Secondary Selection: Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 0660-0-15-01-30-27-10-0

The Mill-Max 0660-0-15-01-30-27-10-0 provides functional substitution where dimensional variations are acceptable within the application design. This part accepts pin diameters of 0.015" ~ 0.025", which overlaps the central range of the original 0.014" ~ 0.026" specification. Dimensional differences include overall length of 0.200" (versus 0.178"), socket depth of 0.180" (versus 0.165"), and mounting hole diameter of 0.051" (versus 0.052"). The flange diameter is 0.068" compared to 0.070". The Mill-Max alternative maintains beryllium copper contact material with gold finish at 30.0µin thickness and operates across -55°C to 125°C. This part is active in production with 1,530 units in stock. The lower temperature minimum of -55°C (versus -65°C) may restrict use in extreme cold environments.
