Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 787169-9 with the equivalent part 5787169-9 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Connector style, type, and position count (D-Type, Receptacle, 100-position)
• Contact spacing and row configuration (0.050 pitch, 0.100 row-to-row, 2 rows)
• Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Electrical ratings (1A current, 30V voltage)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shell and contact materials (Steel/Nickel Plated shell, Phosphor Bronze contacts, Gold finish)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Flange feature specification (Housing/Shell 4-40)
• Shielded configuration and UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part 5787169-9 differs only in RoHS compliance status and REACH regulatory classification, not in form, fit, or function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

787169-9 (Main Part): This connector is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material sourcing is permissible. The part maintains active product status with established supply availability.

5787169-9 (Substitute): This connector is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected regulatory status. The substitute part offers superior inventory availability with 2400 pieces in stock compared to 784 pieces for the main part. Both parts are active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are functionally and electrically interchangeable.

Selection between these parts depends solely on regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the end application and system design constraints. No functional or electrical performance differences exist between the two parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 787169-9 and 5787169-9 connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including mounting type (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle), shell dimensions (0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row), flange feature (Housing/Shell 4-40), and backset spacing (0.146" / 3.71mm). They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: Are the 787169-9 and 5787169-9 connectors electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical electrical specifications: 100-position D-Type receptacle configuration, 1A current rating, 30V voltage rating, and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range. They are direct electrical substitutes.

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

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance certifications. The 5787169-9 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the 787169-9 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. All functional, electrical, and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on the regulatory requirements of the target application and end market. Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance must use the 5787169-9. Applications without RoHS compliance requirements may use either part based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both the 787169-9 and 5787169-9 are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: What is the contact material and finish specification for both connectors?

A: Both connectors feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish. The shell is steel with nickel plating. These specifications are identical across both parts.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity of these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 1A per contact. System designs must account for this current limitation when calculating total connector capacity across all 100 positions.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for shielded signal applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature shielded configuration and are classified as signal contact type connectors, making them suitable for shielded signal transmission applications.

Q: What flammability rating do these connectors meet?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, indicating compliance with flame propagation requirements for thermoplastic dielectric materials.
