Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 787252-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Number of positions (6), pitch (2.00mm), current rating (7 A), contact material (Brass), and contact finish (Gold, 3.00µin)
• Mechanical Specifications: Connector type (Header, Male Blades), mounting type (Through Hole), termination style (Kinked Pin), number of rows (1), and insulation material (Syndiotactic Polystyrene)
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), moisture sensitivity level (1), and fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Physical Characteristics: Color (Black) and board guide feature

The identified substitute part maintains complete alignment with these parameters. Variations in packaging configuration and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional or mechanical interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 787252-1 and 5787252-1 are functionally and mechanically equivalent for circuit applications requiring a 6-position, 2.00mm pitch header connector with kinked pin termination and through-hole mounting.

787252-1 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable and standard packaging is required.

5787252-1 is the appropriate selection for applications subject to RoHS compliance requirements. This part is supplied in tube packaging and maintains higher current inventory levels (1450 units versus 864 units). The RoHS compliant status of 5787252-1 aligns with regulatory requirements in markets where RoHS compliance is mandatory.

Both parts share identical electrical ratings (7 A), thermal operating range (-55°C ~ 105°C), contact specifications (Brass with 3.00µin gold finish), and mechanical configuration. Selection between these parts depends on compliance requirements and packaging preferences rather than functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 787252-1 and 5787252-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical electrical specifications including 6 positions, 2.00mm pitch, 7 A current rating, and gold-plated brass contacts. They function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (tube for 5787252-1) and RoHS compliance status (5787252-1 is RoHS compliant; 787252-1 is not). All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. If RoHS compliance is required, specify 5787252-1. If RoHS compliance is not a constraint, either part is acceptable based on packaging and inventory availability.

Q: Can I use 5787252-1 as a direct replacement for 787252-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5787252-1 is mechanically and electrically equivalent and functions as a direct substitute in any application using 787252-1.

Q: Are there any thermal or current rating differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across -55°C to 105°C and carry a 7 A current rating. Thermal and electrical performance are identical.

Q: What does the kinked pin termination mean?

A: Kinked pin termination refers to the bent configuration of the male blade contacts, which provides mechanical retention and alignment during through-hole soldering on printed circuit boards.

Q: Is the board guide feature present on both parts?

A: Yes. Both 787252-1 and 5787252-1 include the board guide feature for proper alignment during PCB assembly.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and does it differ between parts?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
