TE Connectivity 787362-9 D-Type Receptacle Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 787362-9 is a 100-position D-Type receptacle connector featuring female sockets with right-angle board edge mounting and solder termination. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE .050 III series and is designed for applications requiring high-density signal interconnection with board lock and shielding features. The part maintains active product status with 1165 units in current inventory.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or alternative sourcing needs while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter envelope.

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 following criteria establish substitution validity:

Electrical Parameters: Current rating (1A), voltage rating (30V), and contact material (Phosphor Bronze with gold finish) must remain identical to ensure signal integrity and current-carrying capacity.

Mechanical Parameters: Position count (100), row configuration (2 rows), pitch specification (0.050 x 0.100), mounting type (board edge, through hole, right angle), and termination method (solder) must be unchanged.

Physical Specifications: Shell material (steel, nickel plated), flange feature (4-40), dielectric material (thermoplastic), and color (black) must match exactly.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and moisture sensitivity level (1) establish the environmental envelope for substitution.

The substitute part 5787362-9 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 787362-9 and 5787362-9 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity and are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters. Selection between these parts is based on compliance and sourcing considerations:

787362-9 Selection Criteria: This part is designated as "Not applicable" for RoHS status and "REACH Affected" for regulatory compliance. Selection is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement or where REACH-affected materials are acceptable. Current inventory of 1165 units supports immediate availability.

5787362-9 Selection Criteria: This part carries RoHS Compliant certification, making it suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance. REACH status is listed as "Vendor Undefined," which may require clarification for applications with strict REACH compliance mandates. Current inventory of 1352 units provides enhanced availability.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance (1A at 30V), mechanical configuration (100-position, 2-row, 0.050 pitch), and environmental ratings (UL94 V-0, -55°C ~ 105°C operating range). Selection should be driven by regulatory requirements specific to the end application and geographic market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 787362-9 and 5787362-9 interchangeable in all applications?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters including position count, pitch, mounting type, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. Interchangeability is determined by application-specific compliance requirements, particularly RoHS and REACH certifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance designations. The 5787362-9 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 787362-9 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS. REACH status also differs between the parts. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 5787362-9 as a direct replacement for the 787362-9?

A: Yes, the 5787362-9 is a direct equivalent from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. If your application does not require RoHS compliance, either part is suitable. If RoHS compliance is required, the 5787362-9 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What does the 0.050 pitch specification mean?

A: The 0.050 pitch refers to the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts within each row, measured in inches (1.27mm). The 0.100 row-to-row specification indicates the spacing between the two rows of contacts. These dimensions are identical on both substitute parts.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory shows 1165 units for the 787362-9 and 1352 units for the 5787362-9, both listed as new original stock.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 flammability rating?

A: UL94 V-0 indicates the dielectric material meets the highest flammability classification under UL94 testing standards, demonstrating superior flame resistance. Both parts carry this identical rating.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 105°C. This range supports most industrial and commercial applications. Specific application requirements should be evaluated against this envelope.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. These connectors do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions.
