Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1787050000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Size 6
• Thread Interface: M25 thread size
• Ingress Protection: IP65 rating (Dust Tight, Water Resistant)
• Housing Material & Finish: Aluminum die cast with powder coating
• Locking Mechanism: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Manufacturer Series: RockStar® series
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 1788200000 meets all critical substitution criteria. Dimensional variations in height (76.00mm vs. 61.00mm) and length (93.30mm vs. 93.16mm) represent minor mechanical differences that do not affect functional compatibility within the specified connector interface and environmental protection requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1787050000 and 1788200000 are active production parts manufactured by Weidmüller within the RockStar® series. Both parts maintain full RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial connector applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Mechanical Envelope Constraints: The 1788200000 features a reduced height dimension (61.00mm vs. 76.00mm), making it suitable for applications with vertical space limitations while maintaining identical thread interface and locking mechanism.

2. Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are 847 units for 1787050000 and 682 units for 1788200000.

3. Functional Equivalence: Both parts provide identical IP65 environmental protection, M25 thread interface, and Size 6 connector configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1788200000 be used as a direct replacement for 1787050000?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread interface, ingress protection rating, housing material, and locking mechanism. The primary difference is the reduced height dimension of 1788200000 (61.00mm vs. 76.00mm).

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The height dimension affects the mechanical envelope of the assembled connector. The 1788200000 occupies less vertical space, which may be advantageous in applications with restricted mounting height. Both parts maintain the same M25 thread interface and IP65 sealing performance.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both 1787050000 and 1788200000 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current industrial connector regulatory requirements.

Q: Do these parts share the same locking mechanism?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom, providing identical mechanical retention.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging format.
