Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TE Connectivity 5-87348-6

The TE Connectivity 5-87348-6 remains the primary component choice when available. This part is active in production status with established supply (660 units in stock). RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm suitability for standard manufacturing environments.

Active Substitute Options:

Amphenol ICC 78511-406HLF is the closest functional equivalent among active parts. This BERGSTIK® II series connector matches the mating contact length (0.318" / 8.08mm) and maintains tin contact finish identical to the primary part. The 5A current rating exceeds the unspecified rating of the primary part. Operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) and RoHS compliance align with standard industrial requirements. This part is active in production with 4,823 units in inventory.

Amphenol ICC 78511-206HLF provides an alternative within the BERGSTIK® II series with identical mating contact length and higher current capacity (5A). Gold contact finish on mating surfaces offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin. This part is active with 3,541 units available.

Amphenol ICC 77311-122-06LF and 77311-822-06LF are BERGSTIK® series alternatives with slightly shorter mating contact length (0.305" / 7.75mm) and lower current rating (3A per contact). Both feature gold contact finish on mating surfaces. These parts are active with 1,960 and 940 units in inventory respectively. The contact length variation requires mechanical verification for specific applications.

Obsolete Part Note:

Amphenol ICC 78511-406 (without HLF suffix) carries obsolete product status and should not be selected for new designs despite high inventory levels (20,064 units). This designation indicates discontinued production and limited long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 77311-122-06LF or 77311-822-06LF be used as direct replacements for 5-87348-6?

A: These BERGSTIK® series connectors share all critical parameters (6 positions, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening) but feature mating contact length of 0.305" (7.75mm) compared to 0.318" (8.08mm) in the primary part. This 0.013" difference requires mechanical verification in the specific application. Both parts are active in production and RoHS compliant.

Q: What is the difference between 78511-406HLF and 78511-406?

A: Both are BERGSTIK® II series connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: 78511-406HLF is active in production, while 78511-406 is obsolete. For new designs and ongoing production, 78511-406HLF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have gold contact finish while the primary part has tin?

A: Contact finish selection affects corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics. Tin finish (5-87348-6 and 78511-406HLF) provides standard performance at lower cost. Gold finish (77311-122-06LF, 77311-822-06LF, 78511-206HLF) offers enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Both finishes are RoHS compliant and suitable for standard applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts carry RoHS Compliant status. The primary part 5-87348-6 and all active substitutes (77311-122-06LF, 77311-822-06LF, 78511-206HLF, 78511-406HLF) meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating differences?

A: The primary part 5-87348-6 does not specify a current rating. Substitute parts provide documented ratings: 3A per contact (BERGSTIK® series) and 5A (BERGSTIK® II series). These ratings define maximum continuous current per contact. Applications requiring higher current capacity benefit from BERGSTIK® II series selection.

Q: Can parts with different insulation heights be interchanged?

A: The primary part specifies 0.090" (2.29mm) insulation height, while all substitute parts specify 0.100" (2.54mm). This 0.010" difference affects mating surface alignment and connector stack height. Mechanical compatibility must be verified for specific board layouts and mating connector specifications.

Q: What packaging differences exist among substitute parts?

A: The primary part 5-87348-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitute parts use either bulk (77311-122-06LF, 77311-822-06LF) or bag packaging (78511-206HLF, 78511-406HLF). Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but may influence handling and inventory management.

Q: Are operating temperature specifications available for the primary part?

A: The primary part 5-87348-6 does not specify operating temperature range. All active substitute parts are rated -65°C to 125°C, which covers standard industrial and commercial applications. Applications requiring temperature specifications should reference substitute part documentation.
