Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the PQ50S-2428SCA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series designation (PQ50 family)
• Contact type (Socket)
• Termination method (Crimp)
• Wire gauge specification (24-28 AWG)
• Contact finish material (Gold)
• Connector category (Rectangular Connectors)
• Manufacturing process (Stamped)

The PQ50S2-2428SCA qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all these parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is Active, whereas the original is Obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PQ50S2-2428SCA is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete PQ50S-2428SCA. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: wire gauge, contact termination, finish material, and connector series. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts are RoHS compliant and suitable for equivalent applications within the PQ50 rectangular connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PQ50S2-2428SCA be used as a direct replacement for PQ50S-2428SCA?
