Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 787083-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector style (D-Type)
• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (68)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shell size and connector layout (0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Flange feature and latchblocks
• Board lock and shielded features
• Backset spacing (0.146" / 3.71mm)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Shell finish (Tin Plated vs. Nickel Plated)
• Current rating specification (unspecified vs. 1A)
• Voltage rating specification (unspecified vs. 30V)
• RoHS compliance version (RoHS vs. ROHS3)
• REACH status (REACH Affected vs. Vendor Undefined)
• HTSUS classification

The substitute part 5787083-7 maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility with the 787083-7 across all mandatory parameters while offering alternative shell finish and enhanced electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 787083-7 and 5787083-7 are Active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full mechanical and functional compatibility for 68-position D-type receptacle applications.

787083-7 Selection Criteria:

• Tin-plated steel shell finish
• RoHS Compliant status
• REACH Affected classification
• Unspecified current and voltage ratings
• Suitable for applications where shell finish specification is tin plating

5787083-7 Selection Criteria:

• Nickel-plated steel shell finish
• ROHS3 Compliant status (enhanced RoHS compliance)
• Vendor Undefined REACH status
• Specified current rating of 1A and voltage rating of 30V
• Suitable for applications requiring nickel-plated finish or explicit electrical specifications
• Higher inventory availability (2366 pcs vs. 1090 pcs)

Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the full industrial temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Selection between these parts depends on shell finish requirements, compliance documentation needs, and electrical specification clarity for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 787083-7 and 5787083-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical specifications including 68 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing, right-angle board edge mounting, and 0.146" backset spacing. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between tin-plated and nickel-plated shell finishes?

A: The 787083-7 features a tin-plated steel shell, while the 5787083-7 features a nickel-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance. Shell finish selection depends on application environment and specific design requirements.

Q: Do both parts have the same electrical specifications?

A: The 5787083-7 specifies a current rating of 1A and voltage rating of 30V. The 787083-7 does not specify these ratings. Both parts use identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze) and contact finish (Gold), ensuring equivalent electrical performance in applications within the 5787083-7 specifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 787083-7 is RoHS Compliant with REACH Affected status. The 5787083-7 is ROHS3 Compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across -55°C to 105°C. Compliance selection depends on regulatory requirements for the target market.

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

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating Unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both the 787083-7 and 5787083-7 are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on specific application requirements. The 5787083-7 offers higher inventory availability, explicit electrical specifications (1A, 30V), and ROHS3 compliance. The 787083-7 is suitable for applications where tin-plated finish is specified or where unspecified electrical ratings are acceptable.
