TE Connectivity 786860-7 D-Type Receptacle Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 786860-7 is a 68-position D-type receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) and discrete wire termination. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE .050 III series and features a shielded steel shell with nickel plating and gold-plated contacts. The 786860-7 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility in existing applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 786860-7 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Electrical Parameters: Voltage rating (30V), current rating (1A), and contact material (phosphor bronze) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Connector style (D-Type), connector type (receptacle, female sockets), number of positions (68), number of rows (2), shell size and pitch (0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row), and mounting type (free hanging, in-line) must be identical.

Material and Finish Specifications: Shell material and finish (steel, nickel plated), contact finish (gold), dielectric material (polyester), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) must be identical.

Termination Method: IDC and discrete wire termination capability must be maintained.

Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and moisture sensitivity level (1, unlimited) must be identical.

The substitute part 5786860-7 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 786860-7 is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The substitute part 5786860-7 is an active product that maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence with the original part across all specified parameters.

Compliance Advantages: The 5786860-7 substitute offers improved regulatory compliance status. It is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 786860-7 is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute is also designated as REACH Unaffected, providing clearer regulatory standing compared to the original part's vendor-undefined REACH status.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, contact specifications, termination methods, and environmental operating parameters are identical between the two parts. The substitute maintains the same 68-position D-type receptacle configuration, shielded steel construction, gold-plated contacts, and IDC/discrete wire termination capability.

Procurement Status: The 5786860-7 is available in active inventory (1108 pcs new original in stock) with bulk packaging, whereas the 786860-7 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1028 pcs). For new designs and ongoing production, the 5786860-7 is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5786860-7 be used as a direct replacement for the 786860-7 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 5786860-7 is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical parameters (voltage rating, current rating, contact material), mechanical specifications (68 positions, 2 rows, 0.050 pitch, free hanging mounting), shell construction (steel, nickel plated), contact finish (gold), termination methods (IDC and discrete wire), and environmental ratings (-55°C to 105°C operating temperature) are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the 786860-7 and 5786860-7?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 786860-7 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5786860-7 is an active product that is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. All functional and electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 786860-7 packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The 5786860-7 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are identical in form, fit, and function.
