Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the 5787617 series is determined by three variable parameters that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility:

Shell/Shielding Material: Parts are available with either Copper Alloy or Steel, Stainless construction. Both materials meet the same electrical performance and flammability requirements.

Insulation Color: Parts are supplied with either Natural or Black insulation. Color designation does not alter electrical characteristics or functional performance.

RoHS Compliance Status: Parts are available as either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications satisfy regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing.

All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for connector type, contact count, USB 2.0 protocol, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, mating cycles, and board lock features. The base product number 5787617 is common across all variants, with suffix numbers (-1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -8) indicating specific combinations of shell material, insulation color, and compliance certification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliant Applications: Parts 5787617-6 and 5787617-3 are designated RoHS Compliant and are suitable for applications requiring standard lead-free manufacturing certification. Both parts feature Copper Alloy shell material and Natural insulation color.

For ROHS3 Compliant Applications: Parts 5787617-2, 5787617-5, and 5787617-8 are designated ROHS3 Compliant and are suitable for applications requiring enhanced lead-free manufacturing compliance. These parts are available in combinations of Steel, Stainless or Copper Alloy shell material with Black insulation.

For REACH Unaffected Status: Parts 5787617-6, 5787617-1, and 5787617-2 carry REACH Unaffected designation, indicating compliance with REACH regulatory requirements.

For Copper Alloy Shell Material: Parts 5787617-6, 5787617-3, and 5787617-5 feature Copper Alloy construction, providing consistent electromagnetic shielding characteristics.

For Steel, Stainless Shell Material: Parts 5787617-1, 5787617-2, and 5787617-8 feature Steel, Stainless construction, offering enhanced mechanical durability and corrosion resistance.

All substitute parts share identical electrical performance, mechanical mounting specifications, and functional features. Selection between alternatives is based on material preference, insulation color requirement, and compliance certification alignment with end-application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all 5787617 series parts electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All parts in the 5787617 series maintain identical electrical specifications including USB 2.0 protocol compliance, 1A per contact current rating, 30VAC voltage rating, and 1500 mating cycle rating. Differences in shell material and insulation color do not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant designations?

A: Both designations indicate lead-free manufacturing compliance. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard. Selection between the two depends on end-application regulatory requirements and customer specifications.

Q: Can I substitute 5787617-6 with 5787617-1?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The primary differences are shell material (Copper Alloy versus Steel, Stainless), insulation color (Natural versus Black), and RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant versus RoHS Compliant). Verify that your application design accommodates the Steel, Stainless shell material and Black insulation color.

Q: Does shell material affect connector performance?

A: Shell material does not alter electrical performance or USB 2.0 protocol compliance. Both Copper Alloy and Steel, Stainless materials meet the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and provide appropriate electromagnetic shielding for USB 2.0 applications.

Q: What does "Board Lock" feature provide?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical feature present on all 5787617 series connectors that provides mechanical retention of the connector to the printed circuit board during assembly and operation.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute part?

A: Yes. Inventory levels vary across the 5787617 series. Part 5787617-1 has the highest inventory at 6405 pieces, while 5787617-6 has 734 pieces. Availability may influence selection when lead time is a consideration.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: All 5787617 series parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring REACH compliance?

A: Parts 5787617-6, 5787617-1, and 5787617-2 carry REACH Unaffected designation. Parts 5787617-3, 5787617-5, and 5787617-8 carry Vendor Undefined REACH status. Verify REACH compliance requirements with your supplier for parts with undefined status.
