TE Connectivity 786144-1 D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 786144-1 is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and features press-fit termination with a mating-side female screwlock. The 786144-1 is classified as obsolete product status, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to ensure continued availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 786144-1 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series. The substitute part 5786144-1 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 15-position D-Sub receptacle configuration, female socket contact type, 2-row layout with shell size 2 (DA, A), through-hole mounting, press-fit termination, and mating-side female screwlock flange feature.

The key parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

• Connector style and type (D-Sub receptacle, female sockets)
• Position count and row configuration (15 positions, 2 rows)
• Shell size and layout (2 DA, A)
• Mounting method (through hole)
• Termination technology (press-fit)
• Flange configuration (mating side, female screwlock 4-40)
• Contact material and finish (copper alloy with gold plating)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part differs only in shell material finish (tin plating versus tin-lead plating), packaging format (tray versus bulk), product status (active versus obsolete), and regulatory compliance certifications (RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected versus non-compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5786144-1 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 786144-1 within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical across all signal-carrying and structural parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 5786144-1 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to electronic components in most jurisdictions. The 786144-1 carries non-compliant status with undefined REACH classification, reflecting its obsolete designation.

For new designs, production restarts, or supply chain transitions, the 5786144-1 is the appropriate selection. The active product status ensures ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory frameworks. The shell material finish difference (tin versus tin-lead plating) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility; both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and contact reliability within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 786144-1 and 5786144-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including contact material (copper alloy), contact finish (gold plating), signal contact type, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: What is the difference in shell material finish between these parts?

A: The 786144-1 features steel with tin-lead plating, while the 5786144-1 uses steel with tin plating. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The tin plating in the 5786144-1 reflects compliance with modern RoHS3 restrictions on lead content.

Q: Can the 5786144-1 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 786144-1?

A: Yes. The 5786144-1 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 786144-1. Mounting configuration, pin layout, flange design, and termination method are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: Why is the 786144-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 786144-1 is obsolete due to regulatory compliance requirements. The 5786144-1 replaces it as the active product, offering ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status required for current manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. The 786144-1 and 5786144-1 differ in packaging (bulk versus tray), but packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on inventory management and handling requirements.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for the full -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 786144-1 and 5786144-1 are rated for continuous operation across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range with identical performance characteristics.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special environmental controls.
