Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish equivalency for the 5-87456-9:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (48)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Color (Black)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 65043-013LF meets all critical matching parameters, establishing it as a parametric equivalent for the 5-87456-9 in applications requiring 48-position dual-row rectangular connector housings with 2.54mm pitch spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5-87456-9 and 65043-013LF are active products with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings, establishing them as suitable for current procurement and deployment. The primary distinction between these parts is the insulation material composition and operating temperature range.

The 5-87456-9 features polyamide nylon with glass filling and supports operation from -65°C to 105°C. The 65043-013LF uses modified polyphenylene insulation with an operating range of -40°C to 105°C. Selection between these parts depends on the specific thermal requirements of the application. Applications requiring operation below -40°C necessitate the 5-87456-9. Applications operating within the -40°C to 105°C range are compatible with either part.

Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry ECCN EAR99 classification, meeting regulatory requirements for standard commercial applications. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on procurement timeline and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65043-013LF substitute for the 5-87456-9 in all applications?

A: The 65043-013LF is a parametric equivalent for applications operating within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range. Applications requiring operation below -40°C require the 5-87456-9 due to its extended lower temperature specification of -65°C.

Q: Are the insulation materials interchangeable?

A: The 5-87456-9 uses polyamide nylon with glass filling, while the 65043-013LF uses modified polyphenylene. Both materials are suitable for standard rectangular connector housing applications. Material selection should be based on specific environmental and chemical exposure requirements of the application.

Q: Do these parts require compatible contacts?

A: Both housings are designed for crimp-terminated female socket contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be sourced separately. Ensure selected contacts match the 2.54mm pitch specification and crimp termination requirements.

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

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity concerns. Both parts can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures, simplifying inventory management and logistics.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: Both the 5-87456-9 and 65043-013LF are active products with current manufacturing status. Either part is suitable for new design implementations, with selection based on thermal operating range requirements and material compatibility with the application environment.

Q: What is the difference in series designation?

A: The 5-87456-9 belongs to the AMPMODU Mod IV series from TE Connectivity. The 65043-013LF belongs to the Mini-PV Basics+ series from Amphenol ICC. Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when parametric specifications match.
