TE Connectivity 787083-5 D-Type Receptacle Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 787083-5 is a 50-position D-Type receptacle connector featuring female sockets with right-angle board edge mounting and solder termination. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE .050 III series and is designed for applications requiring shielded, board-locked D-sub connectivity. The part maintains Active product status with 736 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when addressing specific compliance requirements, such as RoHS3 compliance, or when alternative shell finish specifications are required for particular application environments while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 5787083-5 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the main part 787083-5 based on the following critical parameters:

Identical Parameters:

• Connector style, type, and position count (50-position D-Type receptacle)
• Row configuration and pitch specifications (2 rows, 0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row)
• Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material and type (Phosphor Bronze, Signal)
• Dielectric material (Thermoplastic)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Backset spacing (0.146" / 3.71mm)
• Features (Board Lock, Shielded)
• Flange feature (Housing/Shell with 2-56 latchblocks)

Differentiating Parameters:

• Shell finish: Tin Plated (787083-5) versus Nickel Plated (5787083-5)
• RoHS compliance: Non-compliant (787083-5) versus ROHS3 Compliant (5787083-5)
• Current rating specification: Not specified (787083-5) versus 1A (5787083-5)
• Voltage rating specification: Not specified (787083-5) versus 30V (5787083-5)

The substitution is valid when compliance requirements or shell finish specifications necessitate the alternative part number while maintaining identical form, fit, and functional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 787083-5 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement and tin-plated shell finish is acceptable for the operating environment.

Part 5787083-5 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This substitute provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with nickel-plated shell finish and specified electrical ratings (1A current, 30V voltage). Both parts maintain Active product status and identical form factors within the AMPLIMITE .050 III series.

The selection between these parts is determined by compliance mandates and environmental finish requirements rather than functional differences. Both connectors support identical 50-position D-Type receptacle configurations with right-angle board edge mounting and solder termination across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 787083-5 and 5787083-5 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 50-position D-Type receptacle configuration, 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing, right-angle board edge mounting, and 0.146" backset spacing. They mount identically on PCBs and accept the same mating plugs.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are shell finish (tin plated versus nickel plated) and RoHS compliance status. Part 5787083-5 is ROHS3 compliant while 787083-5 is not. Additionally, 5787083-5 includes specified electrical ratings (1A, 30V) while 787083-5 does not list these parameters.

Q: Can I substitute 5787083-5 for 787083-5 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is valid from a form, fit, and function perspective. The decision depends on whether your application or supply chain requires ROHS3 compliance. If compliance is not mandated, either part functions identically. If compliance is required, 5787083-5 is the correct selection.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both 787083-5 and 5787083-5 operate across -55°C to 105°C and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating across this range.

Q: What is the significance of the shell finish difference?

A: Tin plating (787083-5) and nickel plating (5787083-5) provide different corrosion resistance characteristics. Nickel plating generally offers superior corrosion resistance in harsh or humid environments. The choice depends on application environment requirements.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both 787083-5 and 5787083-5 are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: Part 787083-5 has 736 units in stock. Part 5787083-5 has 1778 units in stock. Both are listed as Active products.
