TE Connectivity 787170-5 D-Type Receptacle Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 787170-5 is a 50-position D-type receptacle connector featuring female sockets, right-angle board edge mounting, and through-hole solder termination. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE .050 III series and is classified as an active product. The connector provides shielded signal transmission with board lock functionality in a compact 0.050 pitch layout.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across different manufacturers or product variants, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging or compliance certifications are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the TE Connectivity 787170-5 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

  • 50-position connector configuration
  • 2-row layout with 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing
  • Right-angle mounting orientation
  • Solder termination method
  • Signal contact type
  • 1A current rating and 30V voltage rating
  • Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C
  • Shielded design with board lock functionality
  • Gold contact finish
  • UL94 V-0 flammability rating
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Direct Equivalent (Same Manufacturer): The part 5787170-5 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 787170-5, with the primary distinction being enhanced RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes (3M 101 Series): The 3M parts 10150-52E2PC, 10150-52B2PC, and 10150-5212PC are classified as similar substitutes. These parts maintain the 50-position, 2-row configuration, right-angle solder termination, and shielded design. However, they employ a center strip contact style and panel mount configuration rather than board edge mounting. The flange feature specifications differ (M2.6 or 4-40 variants), and contact finish thickness is specified at 30.0µin (0.76µm).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent (Direct Substitution): The TE Connectivity 5787170-5 is the direct equivalent to the 787170-5. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, connector geometry, and functional characteristics. The 5787170-5 offers enhanced compliance documentation with ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for applications with stringent regulatory requirements. Current inventory of 2200 units for the 5787170-5 exceeds that of the original 787170-5 (1124 units).

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (3M 101 Series): The 3M parts 10150-52E2PC, 10150-52B2PC, and 10150-5212PC are functionally compatible alternatives when connector type flexibility is acceptable. These parts differ in mounting configuration (panel mount versus board edge) and connector style (center strip contacts versus female sockets). Selection among these three 3M variants depends on packaging requirements: 10150-52E2PC and 10150-5212PC are supplied in box packaging, while 10150-52B2PC is supplied in bulk.
