• Mating Orientation: Vertical with Board orientation required
• Mounting Type: Through Hole PCB attachment method
• Wire Termination Method: Screw-based termination
• Color: Black housing
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 2-786473-4 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all specified parameters. Both components share the same base product number (786473) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, confirming functional equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2-786473-4 serves as the direct equivalent replacement for the obsolete 786473-4. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 2-786473-4 maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The original 786473-4 is classified as Obsolete, making the substitute the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Regulatory Compliance: The 2-786473-4 is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original part is RoHS non-compliant, which may present compliance challenges in applications subject to RoHS directives.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, mounting orientation, termination method, and moisture sensitivity rating. The parts are interchangeable at the PCB assembly level.

Inventory Availability: The 2-786473-4 is available with 1121 pieces in stock, providing superior supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-786473-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 786473-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2-786473-4 is functionally equivalent to the 786473-4 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components feature identical 4-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, vertical with board mating orientation, through-hole mounting, and screw-based wire termination. Direct substitution is supported at the PCB assembly level.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: The 2-786473-4 is RoHS Compliant, meeting Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives applicable to many markets and applications. The original 786473-4 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 2-786473-4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any differences in wire gauge compatibility?

A: The original 786473-4 specifies 12-24 AWG wire gauge compatibility. The 2-786473-4 does not have wire gauge specifications provided in the available documentation. For applications requiring specific wire gauge confirmation, contact the manufacturer directly.

Q: Do both parts share the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both the 786473-4 and 2-786473-4 maintain identical through-hole mounting configuration with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these components?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Are there any export control considerations for these parts?

A: Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99, which is subject to standard export control regulations. Consult applicable export control guidelines for your jurisdiction.
