Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 50864-7 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for pin acceptance diameter, overall length, mounting hole diameter, flange diameter, socket depth, contact material composition, contact finish type and thickness, and operating temperature range.

The 50864-7 accepts pin diameters of 0.026" to 0.033" with a solder termination and no tail configuration. The contact material is beryllium copper with a tin finish applied to a thickness of 100.0µin. The overall length is 0.257" with a socket depth of 0.244". The mounting hole diameter is 0.062" to 0.063" and the flange diameter is 0.080".

Substitute parts must match all of these parameters without deviation. Product status and regulatory compliance are secondary considerations that inform selection priority but do not alter the fundamental substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5050864-6 is a direct functional equivalent to the 50864-7 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components accept identical pin diameters, share the same overall dimensions, mounting specifications, contact material composition, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 50864-7 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5050864-6 is an active product with RoHS compliance certification. The 5050864-6 is also available in significantly higher inventory quantities (15,794 pieces versus 1,126 pieces for the 50864-7).

For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 5050864-6 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility while providing the advantages of active product status, regulatory compliance, and superior availability. The 5050864-6 is packaged in bulk format, which differs from the unspecified packaging of the 50864-7 but does not affect functional performance or installation characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5050864-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 50864-7 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5050864-6 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 50864-7. All critical parameters including pin acceptance diameter, overall length, mounting hole diameter, flange diameter, socket depth, contact material, contact finish, and operating temperature range are identical. The components are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the "Knockout Bottom" feature of the 50864-7 and the "Closed Bottom" feature of the 5050864-6?

A: The 50864-7 specifies a knockout bottom configuration, while the 5050864-6 specifies a closed bottom configuration. This represents a design difference in the terminal structure. Both configurations maintain the same electrical and mechanical performance for the specified pin acceptance range and solder termination method.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status of the 5050864-6 affect compatibility with the 50864-7?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The 5050864-6 is RoHS compliant while the 50864-7 is not. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental requirements, the 5050864-6 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems without such requirements, both parts function identically.

Q: Are there any differences in the solder termination process between these two parts?

A: Both the 50864-7 and 5050864-6 utilize solder termination with no tail configuration. The termination method, contact material (beryllium copper), and contact finish (tin at 100.0µin thickness) are identical. Solder termination procedures and parameters remain the same for both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging specifications?

A: The 50864-7 packaging is not specified in available documentation, while the 5050864-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the terminal connector. Bulk packaging typically provides cost advantages for high-volume applications and is standard for active products.

Q: Can the 50864-7 be used in new designs?

A: The 50864-7 is classified as obsolete. For new designs, the 5050864-6 is the appropriate selection. The 5050864-6 provides active product status, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and regulatory compliance. The 5050864-6 maintains full functional equivalence to the 50864-7.
