Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies 786A-M12 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 786A-M12 is an IEPE accelerometer sensor manufactured by Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, designed for single-axis (X-axis) acceleration measurement applications. This analog motion sensor operates across a ±80g acceleration range with a bandwidth of 0.5Hz to 14kHz and delivers 100mV/g sensitivity output. The device is classified as Active product status and maintains full RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where component availability or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 786A-M12 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

• Acceleration Range: ±80g
• Sensitivity: 100mV/g
• Bandwidth: 0.5Hz ~ 14kHz
• Output Type: Analog Voltage
• Supply Voltage: 18V ~ 30V
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 120°C
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Package Type: Module
• Axis Configuration: X-axis single-axis measurement
• Sensor Type: IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric)
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The 786A represents a parametric equivalent to the 786A-M12, sharing identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical form factor specifications. Both parts operate within the same acceleration measurement range, deliver equivalent sensitivity output, and maintain compatibility with identical supply voltage and temperature operating windows.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 786A-M12 and 786A are Active product status components manufactured by Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies with full RoHS compliance certification. The 786A qualifies as a direct parametric equivalent based on complete alignment of all electrical performance specifications, mechanical mounting characteristics, and environmental operating parameters.

Selection between these parts is determined by availability and inventory status. The 786A-M12 maintains 1035 pieces in current stock inventory, while the 786A maintains 661 pieces in current stock inventory. Both parts satisfy identical application requirements for X-axis IEPE accelerometer functionality within the specified ±80g measurement range and 0.5Hz to 14kHz bandwidth window.

The 786A includes additional commercial classification data (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8543.70.9860) suitable for export and tariff documentation purposes. No performance degradation or functional limitation occurs when substituting either part for the other in applications requiring single-axis acceleration measurement with 100mV/g sensitivity output.
