Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 50863-5 terminal is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Pin Acceptance Specification: The substitute part must accept pin diameters of 0.014" to 0.026" (0.36mm to 0.66mm) to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing connector systems.

Termination Type: The substitute must utilize solder termination to maintain compatibility with printed circuit board assembly processes.

Physical Dimensions: Overall length of 0.260" (6.60mm) and socket depth of 0.247" (6.27mm) must be preserved to ensure proper fit within connector housings and PCB layouts.

Contact Material and Finish: Beryllium copper contact material with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness must be maintained to preserve electrical performance and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must support the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 126°C.

Connector Series: The substitute must belong to Series 2 to ensure compatibility with existing connector systems.

The substitute part 5050863-5 meets all these criteria while offering the advantage of active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5050863-5 provides complete functional and dimensional equivalence to the obsolete 50863-5 terminal. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring direct compatibility in existing connector assemblies and PCB designs.

The primary advantage of selecting 5050863-5 is its active product status, which ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Additionally, the substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in many industries.

Both parts share identical contact material specifications (beryllium copper with 30.0µin gold plating), operating temperature range (-65°C to 126°C), and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1). The substitute maintains the same Series 2 designation and all dimensional specifications required for mechanical fit.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term component availability, 5050863-5 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, both parts are functionally interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5050863-5 be used as a direct replacement for 50863-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part 5050863-5 is dimensionally and functionally identical to 50863-5 across all critical parameters including pin acceptance range (0.014" to 0.026"), overall length (0.260"), socket depth (0.247"), contact material (beryllium copper), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 126°C). Direct substitution is supported without design modifications.

Q: What is the difference between 50863-5 and 5050863-5?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 50863-5 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while 5050863-5 is an active product with RoHS compliance. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original 50863-5 packaging specification is not defined in the available data. The substitute 5050863-5 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the gold plating thickness affect substitution compatibility?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What pin diameters are compatible with these terminals?

A: Both 50863-5 and 5050863-5 accept pin diameters ranging from 0.014" to 0.026" (0.36mm to 0.66mm). Verify that your connector pins fall within this specification range.

Q: Is the operating temperature range the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 126°C, supporting equivalent thermal performance in system applications.

Q: Why should I select the RoHS-compliant substitute?

A: RoHS compliance is required for many applications and markets. Selecting 5050863-5 ensures regulatory alignment and future supply chain compatibility with procurement standards that mandate RoHS compliance.
