Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5787254-1 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• 68 position contact count
• 2 row configuration
• Receptacle connector type
• Outer shroud contact style
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness
• Solder termination method

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Through hole mounting capability
• Right angle orientation
• CHAMP .031 series designation
• Board lock feature
• Shielded construction

Regulatory and Environmental Parameters:

• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating
• REACH unaffected status

The substitute part 5796055-1 maintains all electrical and core mechanical parameters while introducing panel mount capability as an additional feature. This addition does not compromise compatibility with applications designed for the original 5787254-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5796055-1 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 5787254-1. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications, contact configuration, and core mechanical parameters within the CHAMP .031 series. The 5796055-1 is currently in active production status with 2300 units in stock, compared to the 5787254-1 which is obsolete with limited remaining inventory of 931 units.

The 5796055-1 introduces panel mount capability and a board guide feature in addition to the board lock feature present in the original part. These additions provide enhanced mechanical stability and do not alter the electrical or solder termination characteristics. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity.

For new designs or component replenishment, the 5796055-1 is the appropriate selection due to active product status and current availability. Existing designs utilizing the 5787254-1 can transition to the 5796055-1 without modification to electrical interfaces or PCB layout, provided that the panel mount feature does not conflict with the mechanical envelope of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5796055-1 directly replace the 5787254-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications, contact count, row configuration, termination method, and contact finish. The 5796055-1 adds panel mount capability and a board guide feature without altering the solder interface or electrical performance. Mechanical envelope compatibility must be verified for the specific application.

Q: What is the difference between the mounting types listed for these connectors?

A: The 5787254-1 specifies through hole, right angle mounting. The 5796055-1 specifies panel mount, through hole, right angle mounting. Panel mount capability allows the connector to be secured directly to a panel or enclosure in addition to PCB mounting. Both connectors support through hole solder termination.

Q: Are there differences in the shielding or contact protection between these parts?

A: Both connectors feature shielded construction and outer shroud contacts. The 5796055-1 includes an additional board guide feature (M2.6 housing/shell) that provides mechanical guidance during mating. This does not alter the shielding effectiveness or contact protection.

Q: Do these connectors have the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 5787254-1 and 5796055-1 are ROHS3 compliant, have MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory requirements are identical between the two parts.

Q: Why is the 5787254-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 5787254-1 has been discontinued by TE Connectivity. The 5796055-1 represents the active product line continuation within the CHAMP .031 series for 68 position receptacle connectors with right angle solder termination.

Q: What is the significance of the M2.6 housing/shell specification on the 5796055-1?

A: The M2.6 designation indicates the flange feature dimensions for panel mount applications. This allows the connector to be mounted and secured to a panel or enclosure using standard M2.6 fasteners. This feature is not present on the 5787254-1.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
