Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PQ50SA-2428PCFA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series designation (PQ50)
• Contact type (Pin)
• Termination method (Crimp)
• Wire gauge range (24-28 AWG)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Connector category (Rectangular Connectors)

The substitute part PQ50SA2-2428PCFA maintains all these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional compatibility. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the product status transition from obsolete to active, along with packaging format differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PQ50SA2-2428PCFA serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete PQ50SA-2428PCFA. Both components are RoHS compliant and manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the PQ50 series. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge, contact termination, and finish characteristics.

Selection of the PQ50SA2-2428PCFA is supported by its active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging) does not affect the functional performance of the contact itself and represents a standard industry practice for active components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PQ50SA2-2428PCFA be used as a direct replacement for PQ50SA-2428PCFA?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin contacts within the PQ50 series with identical wire gauge (24-28 AWG), crimp termination, and gold contact finish. The electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The active status of PQ50SA2-2428PCFA indicates current manufacturing and availability. This ensures reliable procurement for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a standard delivery format for active components and does not alter the contact's electrical or mechanical performance. The contact itself remains functionally identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both PQ50SA-2428PCFA and PQ50SA2-2428PCFA are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these contacts?

A: Both contacts support 24-28 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination.
