That covers standard component leads, test pins, and header posts within that range — anything smaller than 0.014\" won't make reliable contact; anything larger won't enter the socket. ## No tail, solder termination — board fit This socket has no tail and terminates by soldering directly into a plated through-hole. The mounting hole diameter is 0.052\" (1.32mm). The closed-bottom design prevents solder wicking up into the contact area, keeping the pin entry clean. ## Contact material and plating for repeated mating ## Comparing 5050462-8 with its siblings The 5050462-8 is the closed-bottom, gold-plated version. The 5050462-2 is identical except for an open bottom — if your application requires the socket to be flush against the board with no solder tail, the open bottom allows the pin to pass through. The 5050462-7 is closed-bottom but tin-plated (100.0 µinch tin vs 30.0 µinch gold) — tin is adequate for fewer mating cycles and lower-cost designs, but gold is the choice for repeated insertion or corrosive environments.","metaTitle":"5050462-8 TE Connectivity PCB Pin Socket, 0.014-0.026 in","metaDescription":"5050462-8 TE Connectivity AMP PCB Pin Socket, accepts 0.014\" to 0.026\" pin diameter, gold-plated beryllium copper, closed bottom, no tail, solder termination","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"2","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","PCB Pin Sockets"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Series":"2","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Closed Bottom","Tail Type":"No Tail","Termination":"Solder","Socket Depth":"0.165\\\" (4.19mm)","Tail Diameter":"-","Contact Finish":"Gold","Product Status":"Active","Board Thickness":"-","Flange Diameter":"0.070\\\" (1.77mm)","Insertion Force":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Beryllium Copper","Length - Overall":"0.178\\\" (4.52mm)","Pin Hole Diameter":"-","Base Product Number":"5050462","Accepts Pin Diameter":"0.014\\\" ~ 0.026\\\" (0.36mm ~ 0.66mm)","Operating Temperature":"-65°C ~ 126°C","Mounting Hole Diameter":"0.052\\\" (1.32mm)","Accepts Square Pin Size":"-","Contact Finish Thickness":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6100","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.61000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.57100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.56800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.55380","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.47510","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.42972","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.40584","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.35570","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.35092","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/d0f6e0103031b44eb86347a06680920a.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/5050462-8/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 5050462-8 available via RFQ confirmation?","answer":"The 5050462-8 is an active part and can be sourced through independent distribution.
