Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 50863-6 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 mating pins.

Termination Type: Solder termination is required for compatibility with PCB assembly processes and existing circuit board designs.

Physical Dimensions: Overall length of 0.260" (6.60mm), socket depth of 0.247" (6.27mm), flange diameter of 0.070" (1.77mm), and mounting hole diameter of 0.052" (1.32mm) must be maintained for proper board layout and mechanical fit.

Contact Material and Finish: Beryllium copper with tin finish ensures electrical performance and environmental resistance equivalent to the original specification.

Operating Temperature Range: The -65°C to 126°C operating range must be maintained for thermal compatibility in the target application.

Series Classification: Both parts belong to Series 2, confirming design family compatibility.

The substitute part 5050863-6 meets all these criteria while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5050863-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 50863-6 terminal. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility for existing designs.

Product Status Advantage: The 5050863-6 maintains active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 50863-6.
