50-Position Board-to-Board D-Type Cap at 0.050 Inch Pitch
The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE.050 I 6-5173280-3 is a 50-position D-Type cap with male pins, designed for board-to-board stacking applications. The through-hole solder termination and unthreaded housing/flange simplify assembly: the cap aligns with the mating receptacle via the shell geometry, no jack-screws needed.
Gold over this thickness resists fretting corrosion through repeated mate/unmate cycles better than tin or flash gold — relevant if the board stack is opened for rework or the connector lives in a corrosive industrial cabinet.
The base product number 5173280 covers the series variants; the full 6-5173280-3 suffix specifies the 50-position, through-hole, tray-pack configuration.
