TE Connectivity 787355-1 D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 787355-1 is a 9-position D-Sub receptacle connector featuring female sockets with solder cup termination. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications requiring signal-level connections. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production support, maintenance, and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility without circuit redesign or mechanical rework.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of D-Sub receptacle connectors is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitution:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector style (D-Sub)
• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (9)
• Number of rows (2)
• Shell size and layout (1 / DE, E)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Termination method (Solder Cup)
• Flange feature (Mating Side, Female Screwlock 4-40)
• Current rating (3A)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Dielectric material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Color (Black)
• MSL rating (1 / Unlimited)

The substitute part 5-787355-1 maintains complete equivalence across all specified parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status: the original 787355-1 is obsolete, while 5-787355-1 is active and available. Additionally, the substitute part is RoHS compliant, whereas the original is RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5-787355-1 is the direct equivalent to the obsolete 787355-1. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Product Status Consideration: The original 787355-1 is classified as obsolete. The substitute 5-787355-1 is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Compliance Consideration: The substitute part 5-787355-1 is RoHS compliant, whereas the original 787355-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance, the substitute part satisfies these regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and all other electrical and mechanical specifications.

Inventory and Supply: The substitute part maintains higher current inventory levels (1037 Pcs versus 815 Pcs), supporting consistent supply chain availability.

For new designs, production transitions, or component replenishment, 5-787355-1 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems requiring the exact original part number, 787355-1 remains available from existing inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-787355-1 be used as a direct replacement for 787355-1 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 5-787355-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 787355-1. All critical parameters including connector type, pin count, shell size, termination method, current rating, and material specifications are identical. No circuit redesign or mechanical modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between 787355-1 and 5-787355-1?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 787355-1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 5-787355-1 is active, currently in production, and RoHS compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is the substitute part RoHS compliant while the original is not?

A: The substitute part 5-787355-1 represents the current production version of this connector within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series. TE Connectivity updated the manufacturing process to achieve RoHS compliance while maintaining all original electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting 5-787355-1 for 787355-1?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts are 9-position D-Sub receptacles with identical shell sizes, pin layouts, solder cup termination, and mating interfaces. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the shell size designation "1 (DE, E)" for this D-Sub connector?

A: Shell size 1 refers to the standard D-Sub connector shell dimension. The designation "DE, E" indicates the specific connector layout and pin configuration used in this 9-position receptacle.

Q: Can this connector be used in new product designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part 5-787355-1 is active and recommended for new designs. It provides the same electrical and mechanical performance as the obsolete 787355-1 with the added benefit of RoHS compliance and active production status.

Q: What does "Free Hanging (In-Line)" mounting type mean?

A: This mounting type indicates the connector is designed for direct solder connection to a printed circuit board or wire harness without requiring a panel-mount bracket or backshell. The connector hangs freely from the solder connections.

Q: Is the gold contact finish on both parts identical?

A: Yes. Both 787355-1 and 5-787355-1 feature gold-plated brass contacts, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the current rating of this connector?

A: Both parts are rated for 3 amperes per contact, suitable for signal-level applications and moderate current distribution.

Q: Are there any environmental or temperature limitations for this connector?

A: The connector is rated for MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Operating temperature specifications were not provided in the component data.
