What this PCB pin socket accepts and where it fits
The 5050863-5 is a press-fit PCB pin socket from TE Connectivity's Series 2, designed to accept a mating pin diameter of 0.014 to 0.026 inches (0.36 to 0.66 mm). The closed-bottom design prevents solder wicking during wave or hand soldering, keeping the contact cavity clean.
Termination and board mounting details
This socket has no tail — the solder termination is flush with the bottom of the insulator, which means the socket sits directly on the PCB pad with no protruding post. The mounting hole diameter is 0.052 inches (1.32 mm), and the overall length is 0.260 inches (6.60 mm). The socket depth of 0.247 inches (6.27 mm) and flange diameter of 0.070 inches (1.77 mm) define the insertion depth and retention in the board.
