TE Connectivity 5-87456-1 Rectangular Connector Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5-87456-1 is a 60-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component serves as the housing structure for female socket contacts in the AMPMODU Mod IV series and is classified as a free-hanging, in-line connector. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when design flexibility permits cross-manufacturer compatibility within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5-87456-1 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical dimensions:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Number of positions (60)
Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
Contact termination method (Crimp)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, In-Line)
Color (Black)
Insulation material compatibility (Polyamide or equivalent thermoplastic)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

Operating temperature range (minimum -40°C to maximum 105°C overlap)
RoHS compliance status
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

All identified substitutes maintain these core parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable. Differences in base product numbers, series designations, and specific insulation material formulations do not affect interchangeability within the defined parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 5-87456-1

The 5-87456-1 remains the baseline reference component. This part is actively manufactured by TE Connectivity, carries full RoHS compliance certification, and operates across the extended temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. Current inventory status shows 1148 pieces in stock.

First-Level Substitute: 5-87456-2

The 5-87456-2 is a parametric equivalent manufactured by TE Connectivity within the same AMPMODU Mod IV series. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the primary part, including the extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The 5-87456-2 carries equivalent RoHS compliance and MSL rating. Current inventory shows 1466 pieces available. Selection of this substitute introduces no technical risk and maintains single-manufacturer sourcing within the TE Connectivity product line.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitute: 65043-007LF

The 65043-007LF is manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and represents a cross-manufacturer alternative. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 60-position receptacle housing, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and free-hanging mounting. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, which covers the upper temperature specification but does not extend to the lower -65°C limit of the primary part. The insulation material differs (Polyphenylene, Modified versus Polyamide/Nylon Glass Filled) but remains thermoplastic-based. This part carries RoHS compliance and REACH Affected status. Current inventory shows 1133 pieces available. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where the lower temperature limit does not extend below -40°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-87456-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 5-87456-1?

A: Yes. The 5-87456-2 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and operating temperature range. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the same AMPMODU Mod IV series.

Q: What is the key difference between the TE Connectivity parts (5-87456-1 and 5-87456-2) and the Amphenol ICC part (65043-007LF)?

A: The primary difference is the operating temperature range. The TE Connectivity parts operate from -65°C to 105°C, while the Amphenol ICC part operates from -40°C to 105°C. The insulation material also differs: TE Connectivity uses Polyamide/Nylon Glass Filled, while Amphenol ICC uses Polyphenylene Modified. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Can I use the 65043-007LF in an application requiring -65°C operation?

A: No. The 65043-007LF is rated for -40°C minimum operating temperature. Applications requiring operation at -65°C must use either the 5-87456-1 or 5-87456-2.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5-87456-1, 5-87456-2, and 65043-007LF all carry RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. All three parts carry this rating.

Q: Can I mix contacts from different manufacturers with these housings?

A: Compatibility depends on the specific contact design and crimp specifications. Contact selection must be verified against the housing manufacturer's technical documentation and the contact supplier's specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the AMPMODU Mod IV series and the Mini-PV™ Basics+ series?

A: These are different product series from different manufacturers. The AMPMODU Mod IV series is from TE Connectivity, while Mini-PV™ Basics+ is from Amphenol ICC. Despite different series designations, the parts maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters for the 60-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration.
