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.

Key Parameters

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).

Parameter Comparison

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. The 10150-52E2PC features a 4-40 flange specification matching the TE Connectivity 10150-52E2PC variant, while 10150-52B2PC includes board lock functionality identical to the primary part.

All substitute parts maintain active product status, EAR99 export classification, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 rating. Selection should be based on specific mounting requirements, connector type compatibility with mating components, and packaging preferences for production workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5787170-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 787170-5?

A: Yes. The 5787170-5 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 787170-5, including 50-position configuration, 0.050 pitch layout, right-angle board edge mounting, solder termination, 1A current rating, 30V voltage rating, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The primary difference is enhanced RoHS3 compliance certification on the 5787170-5.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 787170-5 and the 3M 10150 series substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 787170-5 is a receptacle with female sockets and board edge mounting, while the 3M 10150 series parts are plugs with center strip contacts and panel mount configuration. Both maintain 50-position, 2-row layout, right-angle orientation, solder termination, and shielded design. The mounting type and connector gender differ, requiring evaluation of mating component compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: The 5787170-5, 10150-52E2PC, 10150-52B2PC, and 10150-5212PC are all ROHS3 compliant. The original 787170-5 lists RoHS status as not applicable.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 787170-5 and 5787170-5 are supplied in tube packaging. The 3M parts are supplied in three packaging configurations: 10150-52E2PC in box, 10150-52B2PC in bulk, and 10150-5212PC in box.
