Product Description
55-50F/T — Telco and Cen 50 Right-Angle Solder Connector
The 55-50F/T Telco and Cen 50 Right-Angle Solder Connector is a 50-contact, right-angle connector designed for applications requiring reliable solder termination and a 90-degree cable entry. Its right-angle configuration helps route wiring in confined spaces while reducing the clearance required behind equipment panels.
The connector features 50 gold-plated contacts for reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance. The solder-type contacts are well suited for custom cable assemblies, adapter cables, breakout harnesses, and other applications where individual conductors are hand-wired directly to the connector.

Typical Applications
The 55-50F/T can be used for legacy telecommunications equipment, PBX systems, computer and networking equipment, industrial controllers, custom breakout cables, and specialized test or interface assemblies. The 90-degree cable exit is particularly useful where space behind a panel or enclosure is limited.
Its solder-cup termination makes the connector suitable for custom cable fabrication and field wiring, allowing individual conductors to be terminated without requiring a preassembled cable.
