DX20M-50S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DX20M-50S is a 50-position miniature high-density (HD) receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co., Ltd., designed for panel mount, through-hole solder applications. This connector features an outer shroud contact design with gold-plated contacts and is classified as obsolete in its standard packaging configuration. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with active product status is essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DX20M-50S(50) is a direct functional equivalent of the DX20M-50S. Substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical connector type (Receptacle)
• Identical position count (50 positions)
• Identical row configuration (2 rows)
• Identical mounting method (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Identical termination (Solder)
• Identical connector style (Outer Shroud Contacts)
• Identical miniature HD classification
• Identical flange specification (M2.6)
• Identical contact finish (Gold)
• Identical moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)

The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration. The DX20M-50S(50) variant is actively produced and supplied in tray packaging, whereas the base DX20M-50S is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DX20M-50S(50) is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete DX20M-50S. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The DX20M-50S(50) maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete base model.

Compliance: The DX20M-50S(50) is RoHS compliant, whereas the original DX20M-50S is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations and environmental compliance requirements.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical between the two parts, including connector configuration, contact specifications, and mounting characteristics.

Packaging: The DX20M-50S(50) is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production components and facilitates automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the DX20M-50S and DX20M-50S(50) electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 50-position configuration, 2-row layout, panel mount through-hole solder termination, outer shroud contact style, miniature HD classification, M2.6 flange, and gold contact finish.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the DX20M-50S with the DX20M-50S(50)?

A: The DX20M-50S is classified as obsolete, making the DX20M-50S(50) the active production equivalent. The substitute part ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. However, applications subject to RoHS regulations should use the DX20M-50S(50), which is RoHS compliant.

Q: What packaging is supplied with the DX20M-50S(50)?

A: The DX20M-50S(50) is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for active production components and suitable for both manual and automated assembly operations.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating specifications?

A: No. Both parts feature gold-plated contacts with identical specifications.

Q: Can the DX20M-50S(50) be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The DX20M-50S(50) is a direct functional replacement with no design modifications required.
