Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for D-Type receptacle connectors is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The 787190-8 and its identified substitute must match in the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (80)
• Number of rows (2)
• Current rating (1A per contact)
• Voltage rating (30V)
• Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze with Gold plating)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector style (D-Type)
• Shell size and pitch (0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row)
• Mounting configuration (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Flange features (Housing/Shell with 2-56 mounting; Latchblocks, Rails)
• Backset spacing (0.146" / 3.71mm)

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance:

• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Shielding requirement
• Series designation (AMPLIMITE .050 III)

The substitute part 5787190-8 meets all specified parameters and is therefore a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 787190-8 and 5787190-8 are Active products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Compliance Considerations: The 5787190-8 carries RoHS Compliant status, whereas the 787190-8 is marked as Not applicable for RoHS. Applications subject to RoHS directives should specify the 5787190-8. Both parts are subject to REACH regulations, with the 787190-8 marked as REACH Affected and the 5787190-8 as Vendor Undefined.

Inventory Availability: The 5787190-8 maintains higher inventory levels (1972 pieces) compared to the 787190-8 (933 pieces), making it suitable for applications with extended procurement windows or high-volume requirements.

Regulatory Alignment: For applications requiring explicit RoHS compliance documentation, the 5787190-8 is the appropriate selection. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Direct Substitution: The 5787190-8 functions as a direct substitute for the 787190-8 in all electrical, mechanical, and environmental applications without modification to circuit design, PCB layout, or mating connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5787190-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 787190-8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5787190-8 is a direct equivalent to the 787190-8. All electrical parameters (80 positions, 1A current rating, 30V voltage rating), mechanical specifications (0.050 pitch, right-angle board edge mounting, solder termination), and environmental ratings (-55°C to 105°C, UL94 V-0) are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the RoHS status of these two parts?

A: The 787190-8 is marked as Not applicable for RoHS, while the 5787190-8 is RoHS Compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements, the 5787190-8 should be specified. Both parts meet all other regulatory requirements identically.

Q: Are the connector pinouts identical between 787190-8 and 5787190-8?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 80-position D-Type receptacles with identical pin configurations, spacing (0.050 pitch x 0.100 row to row), and contact arrangements. They are fully interchangeable at the connector interface level.

Q: What is the significance of the base product numbers 787190 and 5787190?

A: The base product numbers indicate the connector family designation. The 787190-8 and 5787190-8 share the same functional design within the AMPLIMITE .050 III series but may differ in manufacturing batches, compliance certifications, or supply chain sourcing. Both are current production parts.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical mounting specifications (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle), backset spacing (0.146" / 3.71mm), and flange features (Housing/Shell with 2-56 mounting, Latchblocks, Rails). PCB footprints and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: What is the current rating per contact, and does it differ between the two parts?

A: Both the 787190-8 and 5787190-8 are rated for 1A per contact. This specification is identical across both parts.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental performance differences?

A: No. Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and share the same material specifications (Steel shell with Nickel plating, Phosphor Bronze contacts with Gold finish, Thermoplastic dielectric, UL94 V-0 flammability rating). Environmental performance is equivalent.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both the 787190-8 and 5787190-8 are supplied in Tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and standard component handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 5787190-8 is recommended due to its RoHS Compliant status and higher inventory availability (1972 pieces versus 933 pieces). This ensures compliance with current regulatory requirements and reduces procurement risk.
