Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 350787-2 with equivalent parts is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute, part number 350787-3, maintains identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

• Connector type, contact type, and mating pitch (0.250" / 6.35mm)
• Position count (2 positions, 1 row configuration)
• Physical mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Shrouding design (shrouded 4-wall construction)
• Contact geometry and material composition (phosphor bronze with gold/tin finish)
• Insulation specifications (polyamide nylon, white color, UL94 V-0 rating)
• Fastening mechanism (locking ramp)

The 350787-3 is functionally interchangeable with the 350787-2 for all applications requiring these exact specifications. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 350787-3 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 350787-2 rectangular connector header. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring complete functional interchangeability in board-to-cable/wire applications requiring 2-position, 0.250" pitch through-hole headers with shrouded 4-wall construction.

Product Status Consideration: The 350787-2 is classified as obsolete, while the 350787-3 maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 350787-3 is the appropriate selection.

Compliance Certification: The 350787-3 carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the 350787-2 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and EAR99 export classification. The 350787-3 provides enhanced regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Inventory Availability: The 350787-3 demonstrates significantly higher inventory availability (5062 pieces) compared to the 350787-2 (837 pieces), supporting supply chain continuity for production applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 350787-2 and 350787-3 electrically and mechanically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, mating pitch (0.250" / 6.35mm), position count (2), shrouding design (4-wall), termination method (solder), contact materials (phosphor bronze), and finish specifications (gold mating surface, tin post finish). They are functionally interchangeable for all applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The 350787-2 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 350787-3 is active and RoHS Compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Can I use the 350787-3 as a direct replacement for the 350787-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 350787-3 is a direct substitute with identical form, fit, and function. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the mating pitch specification for these connectors?

A: The mating pitch is 0.250" (6.35mm) for both the 350787-2 and 350787-3. This specification determines compatibility with corresponding receptacle connectors in the Universal MATE-N-LOK series.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for general-purpose applications?

A: Yes. Both the 350787-2 and 350787-3 are rated for general-purpose applications. They feature UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), supporting broad application deployment.

Q: What is the through-hole post length for these headers?

A: The contact length for the post is 0.215" (5.46mm) for both parts. This dimension is critical for PCB thickness compatibility and solder joint formation.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 350787-2 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The 350787-3 is supplied in bulk packaging. Contact the manufacturer for specific packaging requirements.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 350787-2 is RoHS non-compliant. The 350787-3 is RoHS Compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 350787-3 is the appropriate selection.
