HIF3BA-50D-2.54C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HIF3BA-50D-2.54C is a 50-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. This receptacle housing features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration with dual rows and crimp-type contact termination. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing design and procurement requirements. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across the 50-position, 2.54mm pitch specification while meeting current product availability and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HIF3BA-50D-2.54C are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 50
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Features: Polarizing Key
• Color: Black

Substitute Categories:

1. Direct Manufacturer Equivalent – HIF3BA-50D-2.54C(63): Active product from the same manufacturer (Hirose Electric Co Ltd) with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Socket configuration variant of the same series.

2. Parametric Equivalents – 0022552502 (Molex) and 65846-012LF (Amphenol ICC): Cross-manufacturer alternatives meeting all critical dimensional and electrical parameters. These parts maintain 50-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle configuration with crimp termination and polarizing key features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HIF3BA-50D-2.54C(63) is the preferred substitute when design continuity within the Hirose Electric product line is required. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. Inventory availability is confirmed at 953 pieces.

0022552502 (Molex SL 70450 series) provides cross-manufacturer compatibility with extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and ROHS3 compliance. This option supports supply chain diversification with 3843 pieces in stock.

65846-012LF (Amphenol ICC Mini-PV™, Basics+ series) offers alternative cross-manufacturer sourcing with extended operating temperature capability and RoHS compliance. REACH Affected status requires verification for applications subject to REACH regulations. Inventory level is 1079 pieces.

All three substitute parts maintain the critical 50-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle configuration with crimp termination and polarizing key features required for mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HIF3BA-50D-2.54C(63) be used as a direct replacement for HIF3BA-50D-2.54C?

A: HIF3BA-50D-2.54C(63) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 50 positions, 2.54mm pitch, dual rows, crimp termination, and polarizing key configuration. The primary difference is connector type designation (Socket vs. Receptacle) and active product status. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for mating applications.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these substitute parts?

A: Substitution is based on matching the following parameters: 50-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing, receptacle connector type, female socket contact type, free hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, black color, and polarizing key feature. All listed substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The original HIF3BA-50D-2.54C operates from -55°C to 85°C. Molex 0022552502 and Amphenol ICC 65846-012LF both extend the upper operating temperature to 105°C with a lower minimum of -40°C. Applications requiring the full -55°C minimum temperature should verify thermal performance requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: The original part uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Substitute parts use Polyester Glass Filled (Molex) or Polyphenylene Modified (Amphenol ICC). All materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature ranges and provide equivalent electrical insulation properties for 50-position crimp connector applications.

Q: Do all substitutes have the same RoHS compliance level?

A: The original part is RoHS Compliant. HIF3BA-50D-2.54C(63) and 0022552502 are ROHS3 Compliant, representing current compliance standards. 65846-012LF is RoHS Compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements; ROHS3 designation indicates compliance with the most recent regulatory updates.

Q: What packaging differences exist among these parts?

A: HIF3BA-50D-2.54C ships in standard packaging. HIF3BA-50D-2.54C(63) is packaged in bags. 0022552502 is supplied in bulk packaging. 65846-012LF is bagged. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection should be based on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Is REACH compliance a consideration for part selection?

A: The original HIF3BA-50D-2.54C has no REACH status specified. HIF3BA-50D-2.54C(63) and 0022552502 are REACH Unaffected. 65846-012LF is REACH Affected. Applications subject to REACH regulations should confirm compliance requirements and select accordingly.
