Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5-87543-5 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria include:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 10
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Shrouding: Unshrouded

The Hirose Electric Co Ltd A1-10PA-2.54DSA(71) satisfies all critical matching parameters, confirming functional and mechanical interchangeability. Both connectors maintain identical pitch spacing, position count, row configuration, and mounting methodology, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring 10-position 2.54mm pitch header connectors with through-hole solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 5-87543-5 and Hirose A1-10PA-2.54DSA(71) are active products with full RoHS compliance. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the Hirose part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, both meeting current regulatory requirements. Both connectors share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory and Packaging Considerations: The Hirose A1-10PA-2.54DSA(71) offers significantly higher inventory availability (8020 pieces versus 1100 pieces) and is supplied in tray packaging, which may be preferable for automated assembly processes. The TE Connectivity 5-87543-5 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Material and Contact Specifications: The TE Connectivity part features phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish on mating surfaces. The Hirose part features brass contacts with gold finish on mating surfaces. The TE Connectivity part uses glass-filled polyamide insulation, while the Hirose part uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation. These material differences do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability for standard applications.

Operating Specifications: The Hirose part provides specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), current rating (3A), and voltage rating (200V), along with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The TE Connectivity part does not provide these specifications in the available data.

Both parts maintain identical critical parameters for connector pitch, position count, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method, confirming direct substitution capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Hirose A1-10PA-2.54DSA(71) directly replace the TE Connectivity 5-87543-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for applications requiring 10-position 2.54mm pitch header connectors.

Q: What are the differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are material composition and contact finish. The TE Connectivity part uses phosphor bronze contacts with tin finish and glass-filled polyamide insulation. The Hirose part uses brass contacts with gold mating finish and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation. The Hirose part also provides specified operating temperature range, current rating, and voltage rating. These differences do not affect mechanical compatibility or standard electrical performance.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance or compatibility?

A: No. The TE Connectivity part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Hirose part is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly process integration but does not affect connector electrical or mechanical performance. Tray packaging is typically preferred for automated assembly operations.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 5-87543-5 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The Hirose A1-10PA-2.54DSA(71) carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish differences?

A: The TE Connectivity part features tin-plated mating contacts, while the Hirose part features gold-plated mating contacts. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved contact reliability in demanding environments. Tin plating is suitable for standard applications. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder termination processes.

Q: Which connector should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements and supply chain considerations. For applications requiring specified operating temperature range, current rating, and voltage rating, the Hirose A1-10PA-2.54DSA(71) provides complete specifications. For applications prioritizing inventory availability from the original manufacturer, the TE Connectivity 5-87543-5 is the primary choice. Both connectors are suitable for new designs requiring 10-position 2.54mm pitch through-hole header connectors.
