Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-87756-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Contact Type & Function: Socket contact for crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 22-26 AWG
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness
• Series Compatibility: AMPMODU Mod IV
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Product Status: Active

The substitute part 6-87756-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both parts share the same base product number (87756) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-87756-2 and 6-87756-2 are functionally equivalent socket contacts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Use 1-87756-2 (Tape & Reel) when:

• Automated assembly equipment requires continuous reel feeding
• High-volume production runs benefit from reel packaging efficiency
• Current inventory of 835 pieces meets project requirements

Use 6-87756-2 (Cut Tape) when:

• Lower volume applications or prototyping require smaller quantity dispensing
• Significantly higher inventory availability (30100 pieces) is advantageous
• ROHS3 compliance certification is required for the application
• REACH unaffected status is a regulatory requirement
• Manual assembly or pick-and-place operations are employed

Both parts are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain the AMPMODU Mod IV series standard. The substitute part offers enhanced regulatory compliance with ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for applications with stricter environmental and compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-87756-2 and 6-87756-2 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts with identical wire gauge ratings (22-26 AWG), gold contact finish (15.0µin thickness), crimp termination type, and MSL 1 rating. They perform identically in electrical applications.

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

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The 1-87756-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated assembly, while the 6-87756-2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format for manual or lower-volume applications. The 6-87756-2 also offers ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Can I use 6-87756-2 in place of 1-87756-2 in my assembly process?

A: Substitution depends on your assembly equipment and process requirements. If your equipment can accommodate Cut Tape format, the 6-87756-2 is a direct functional substitute. Verify your assembly line specifications for tape format compatibility.

Q: Why does the 6-87756-2 have higher inventory availability?

A: The 6-87756-2 Cut Tape format typically has broader market demand for lower-volume and prototyping applications, resulting in higher stock levels (30100 pieces versus 835 pieces for the reel format).

Q: Does the 6-87756-2 ROHS3 compliance affect performance?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations and does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. It is a regulatory certification that may be required for certain applications or markets.

Q: Are both parts suitable for 22-26 AWG wire termination?

A: Yes. Both the 1-87756-2 and 6-87756-2 are rated for crimp termination of 22-26 AWG wire gauges with identical contact specifications.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. They can be stored under standard environmental conditions without degradation.
