Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3M 10150-72E2PC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: 50 positions (non-negotiable)
• Row Configuration: 2 rows (non-negotiable)
• Termination Method: Solder (non-negotiable)
• Mounting Orientation: Right angle (non-negotiable)
• Connector Category: D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors
• Features: Board lock and shielding capability
• Contact Finish: Gold plating for corrosion resistance
• Flange Specification: 4-40 housing/shell mounting

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 787170-5 qualifies as a substitute based on matching these core parameters. Both connectors provide 50-position, 2-row configurations with right-angle solder termination, board lock, and shielding. The TE part operates within compatible electrical specifications (1A current rating, 30V voltage rating) and maintains gold contact finish with equivalent flange mounting.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 787170-5 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 3M 10150-72E2PC. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The TE part maintains active production status, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 3M part.
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, maintaining regulatory consistency.
• Electrical Specifications: The TE part provides defined electrical ratings (1A current, 30V voltage) within standard D-Sub connector operating parameters.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors maintain 50-position, 2-row configuration with right-angle solder termination and 4-40 flange mounting, ensuring physical interchangeability in panel mount applications.
• Environmental Ratings: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating equivalent environmental performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 787170-5 directly replace the 3M 10150-72E2PC in existing designs?

A: The TE part matches the critical substitution parameters: 50 positions, 2 rows, right-angle solder termination, board lock, shielding, and 4-40 flange mounting. Physical and electrical compatibility is established through these matching specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The 3M part is a plug connector, while the TE part is a receptacle with female sockets. Both serve complementary roles in D-Sub connector pairs and maintain equivalent mechanical and electrical characteristics for their respective connector types.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The TE Connectivity 787170-5 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the 3M part packaging specification is not detailed in the available data. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both connectors?

A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The TE part includes UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Is the TE part suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The TE Connectivity 787170-5 operates across -55°C to 105°C. The 3M part's operating temperature range is not specified in the available documentation. Confirm temperature requirements for your application.
