Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of D-Type receptacle connectors is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector style (D-Type)
• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (50)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shell size and connector layout (0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current rating (1A)
• Voltage rating (30V)
• Contact type (Signal)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish (Gold)

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance:

• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Nickel Plated)

The substitute part 5787394-5 meets all mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements specified for the primary part 787394-5. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPLIMITE .050 III series and share identical functional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 787394-5 and 5787394-5 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are functionally equivalent across all mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters. The primary distinction between these parts lies in regulatory compliance status.

The 787394-5 is classified as RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, making it unsuitable for applications subject to European Union environmental regulations or RoHS directives.

The 5787394-5 is classified as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, making it the appropriate selection for applications requiring compliance with current environmental and chemical safety regulations.

For new designs and applications where regulatory compliance is a requirement, the 5787394-5 is the designated substitute. Both parts share identical functional specifications and are interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The choice between these parts should be driven by the regulatory environment and compliance requirements of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 787394-5 and 5787394-5 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical mounting types (Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle), shell sizes (0.050 Pitch x 0.100 Row to Row), and backset spacing (0.146" / 3.71mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in applications where the connector is mounted to a printed circuit board.

Q: Are the 787394-5 and 5787394-5 electrically interchangeable?
