TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 50865-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 50865-7 is a pin receptacle connector terminal designed to accept pin diameters of 0.034" to 0.041" (0.86mm to 1.04mm) with solder termination and no tail configuration. This component operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 125°C and features a beryllium copper contact material with tin finish.

The 50865-7 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements for legacy systems and new designs requiring compatible connector terminals.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 50865-7 terminal is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Pin diameter acceptance range: 0.034" ~ 0.041" (0.86mm ~ 1.04mm)
• Tail type: No Tail
• Overall length: 0.260" (6.60mm)
• Socket depth: 0.247" (6.27mm)
• Mounting hole diameter: 0.072" (1.83mm)
• Flange diameter: 0.089" (2.26mm)

Electrical & Material Parameters:

• Termination method: Solder
• Contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Contact finish: Tin
• Contact finish thickness: 100.0µin (2.54µm)
• Features: Knockout Bottom

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 125°C minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5050865-7 maintains full equivalence across all mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters specified for the 50865-7, with the exception of operating temperature maximum (126°C versus 125°C) and product status (Active versus Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5050865-7 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 50865-7 terminal. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including pin diameter acceptance, solder termination, contact material composition, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 50865-7 is obsolete while the 5050865-7 is active and currently in production. The 5050865-7 additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 50865-7 is RoHS non-compliant. The operating temperature maximum of the 5050865-7 extends to 126°C compared to 125°C for the 50865-7, providing enhanced thermal margin.

For new designs and ongoing production requiring pin receptacle connectors with 0.034" to 0.041" pin diameter acceptance and solder termination, the 5050865-7 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 50865-7 specification must be maintained, the 5050865-7 provides full functional and mechanical compatibility with the added benefit of active product status and improved regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5050865-7 be used as a direct replacement for the 50865-7 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5050865-7 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pin diameter acceptance range (0.034" ~ 0.041"), solder termination method, contact material (beryllium copper with tin finish), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C minimum). All mounting and functional parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 50865-7 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The 5050865-7 is active and currently manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. For new designs and production continuity, the active 5050865-7 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance status reflects regulatory requirements for material composition and does not affect the electrical or mechanical function of the terminal. The 5050865-7 carries ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications with regulatory requirements. The 50865-7 is RoHS non-compliant. Substitution compatibility is determined by functional parameters, not compliance status.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges compatible?

A: Yes. The 5050865-7 operates across -65°C to 126°C, which encompasses the -65°C to 125°C range of the 50865-7. The extended maximum temperature of the substitute provides additional thermal margin.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 50865-7 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The 5050865-7 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect terminal function or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any insertion force or board thickness specifications that affect substitution?

A: Insertion force and board thickness specifications are not provided for either part in the available technical data. Substitution compatibility is based on the parameters explicitly specified: pin diameter acceptance, termination method, mechanical dimensions, contact material, and operating temperature range.

Q: Can these terminals be used interchangeably in the same connector assembly?

A: Yes. Both terminals accept the same pin diameter range (0.034" ~ 0.041"), feature identical overall length (0.260"), socket depth (0.247"), mounting hole diameter (0.072"), and flange diameter (0.089"). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within Series 4 connector assemblies.
