3M 82050-6000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 82050-6000 is a 50-position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for ribbon cable applications at 30 AWG wire gauge. This connector features gold-plated contacts and a feed-through design for in-line mounting configurations.

The 3M 82050-6000 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility, ensure continued availability for maintenance and production, and support long-term supply chain planning for applications currently using this connector.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 82050-6000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be a 50-position receptacle connector
• Contact Pitch & Row Configuration: Must maintain 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch with 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Termination Method: Must support IDC termination for ribbon cable
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate 30 AWG wire; compatibility with 30-32 AWG range is acceptable
• Contact Finish: Must feature gold plating at equivalent thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Mounting Configuration: Must support free hanging in-line mounting with feed-through design

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-111196-1 meets all substitution criteria. It maintains identical pitch, row configuration, position count, and termination method. The wire gauge specification of 30-32 AWG encompasses the original 30 AWG requirement. Contact finish specifications are equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-111196-1 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 3M 82050-6000. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The TE Connectivity part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts carry equivalent RoHS non-compliance status and MSL ratings. The TE Connectivity substitute includes a latch lock fastening feature not specified in the original part, which provides enhanced mechanical retention without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Current inventory availability favors the substitute: TE Connectivity 1-111196-1 has 1401 units in stock compared to 871 units of the obsolete 3M part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-111196-1 directly replace the 3M 82050-6000 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical pitch (0.050"), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), position count (50), and IDC termination method. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all specified parameters.

Q: Does the wire gauge difference (30 AWG vs. 30-32 AWG) affect compatibility?

A: No. The TE Connectivity part's 30-32 AWG specification encompasses the original 30 AWG requirement. IDC termination accommodates this range without performance degradation.

Q: What is the significance of the latch lock feature on the TE Connectivity part?

A: The latch lock fastening mechanism provides additional mechanical retention. This feature does not affect electrical performance or physical compatibility and enhances connector reliability in applications requiring secure mating.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL ratings (1 / Unlimited). No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Why is product status relevant for this substitution?

A: The 3M 82050-6000 is obsolete, meaning manufacturing has ceased and future availability is not guaranteed. The TE Connectivity 1-111196-1 maintains active status, ensuring reliable long-term supply for new production and maintenance applications.
