Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and are functionally compatible with the TE Connectivity 4-87545-0 based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following compliance and certification criteria:

RoHS3 Compliant Substitutes (Recommended for RoHS-regulated applications):

Würth Elektronik 61308021121
Samtec Inc. HMTSW-140-07-L-D-240
Samtec Inc. HTSW-140-08-F-D
Samtec Inc. HTSW-140-09-L-D
Samtec Inc. HTSW-140-28-G-D
Sullins Connector Solutions PREC040DFAN-RC
Sullins Connector Solutions PRPC040DFAN-RC
Sullins Connector Solutions PRPC040DFBN-RC

Non-RoHS Compliant Substitutes (Legacy applications only):

3M 2380-6121TG
3M 2380-6221-TG

The 3M parts 2380-6121TG and 2380-6221-TG are RoHS non-compliant and should be used only in applications where RoHS compliance is not required. All other substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance matching the original 4-87545-0 specification.

Contact length variations exist across substitute options. Applications with specific PCB stack-up or mating depth requirements should select substitutes with appropriate contact length specifications. The Samtec HTSW-140 series offers extended post lengths (0.090" to 0.800") for applications requiring deeper board penetration or cable routing flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine if a part can substitute for the 4-87545-0?

A: The following parameters must match exactly for functional substitution: 80 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, header connector type, male pin contacts, through-hole mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, unshrouded design, and board-to-board or cable style. All listed substitutes meet these requirements.

Q: Can I use the 3M 2380-6121TG or 2380-6221-TG in new designs?

A: The 3M parts are RoHS non-compliant. They are suitable only for legacy applications or systems where RoHS compliance is not mandated. For new designs subject to RoHS regulations, select from the ROHS3-compliant alternatives: Würth Elektronik 61308021121, Samtec HMTSW-140-07-L-D-240, Samtec HTSW-140 series, or Sullins PREC040DFAN-RC, PRPC040DFAN-RC, or PRPC040DFBN-RC.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec HTSW-140 variants?

A: The Samtec HTSW-140 series differs primarily in contact post length: HTSW-140-08-F-D has 0.200" posts, HTSW-140-09-L-D has 0.400" posts, and HTSW-140-28-G-D has 0.800" posts. All maintain identical mating contact length (0.230"), pitch spacing, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Selection depends on application-specific board thickness and connector stacking requirements.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between substitutes?

A: Yes. The original 4-87545-0 features gold-plated mating contacts. Most substitutes also use gold plating on mating contacts. However, Sullins PREC040DFAN-RC uses tin plating on mating contacts, while PRPC040DFAN-RC and PRPC040DFBN-RC use gold. Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and electrical performance in specific environments. Gold-plated contacts are preferred for high-reliability applications.

Q: What is the difference between Sullins PRPC040DFAN-RC and PRPC040DFBN-RC?

A: Both parts are identical except for contact post length. PRPC040DFAN-RC has 0.120" (3.05mm) posts, while PRPC040DFBN-RC has 0.220" (5.58mm) posts. Both feature gold-plated mating and post contacts, brass contact material, and PBT insulation. Selection depends on PCB thickness and connector depth requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes have the same operating temperature range?

A: No. The original 4-87545-0 does not specify an operating temperature range. Samtec parts (HMTSW-140-07-L-D-240 and HTSW-140 series) operate from -55°C to 125°C. 3M parts and Sullins parts operate from -40°C to 105°C. Würth Elektronik operates from -40°C to 105°C. For applications requiring -55°C operation, select Samtec alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between Würth Elektronik 61308021121 and other substitutes?

A: Würth Elektronik 61308021121 uses Polyamide (PA6T) nylon insulation material and specifies a 250V voltage rating. It operates from -40°C to 105°C and is ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. Contact length specifications differ from the original part. This option is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage ratings and nylon insulation properties.

Q: Can I mix and match different substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: All listed substitutes are mechanically and electrically compatible with the 4-87545-0 and with each other due to matching pitch, position count, and connector geometry. However, mixing different manufacturers or contact length variants in the same assembly may create visual inconsistency or mechanical alignment issues depending on application design. Standardizing on a single substitute part number per assembly is recommended for manufacturing consistency.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The original 4-87545-0 is supplied in trays. Substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging typically offers cost advantages for high-volume production but requires internal packaging and handling procedures. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications before finalizing part selection.

Q: Are all substitutes available in equivalent inventory quantities?

A: Inventory levels vary. Sullins PREC040DFAN-RC has the highest inventory (8014 units), while Samtec HTSW-140-09-L-D has lower availability (874 units). For applications with long lead times or high-volume requirements, verify current inventory status with component suppliers before committing to design specifications.
