Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 787394-7 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 5787394-7 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on identical specifications in the following critical parameters:

Connector configuration (68-position D-Type receptacle with female sockets), mounting methodology (board edge, through-hole, right-angle), shell dimensions and pitch (0.050 x 0.100), contact materials and finish (phosphor bronze with gold plating), electrical ratings (1A current, 30V voltage), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and physical features (shielded, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, nickel-plated steel shell).

Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPLIMITE .050 III series and utilize solder termination. The substitute relationship is based on functional and dimensional interchangeability without performance degradation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 787394-7 and 5787394-7 are functionally and mechanically equivalent D-Type receptacle connectors suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 68-position female socket configurations with right-angle board edge mounting and solder termination.

The primary distinction between these parts relates to regulatory compliance status. The 5787394-7 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 787394-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements or procurement policies mandating RoHS compliance, the 5787394-7 is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part satisfies the electrical and mechanical requirements identically.

Both parts maintain active product status and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Current inventory levels differ, with 959 units of 787394-7 and 794 units of 5787394-7 available. Selection between these parts should account for compliance requirements, inventory availability, and supply chain lead time considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 787394-7 and 5787394-7 connectors physically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in physical dimensions, mounting configuration, and mechanical design. The 68-position D-Type receptacle layout, 0.050 pitch spacing, right-angle board edge mounting, and through-hole solder termination are identical across both parts.

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

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. The 5787394-7 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 787394-7 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 787394-7 in an application requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The 787394-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications with RoHS compliance requirements, the 5787394-7 must be used.

Q: Do these connectors have identical electrical ratings?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical current ratings (1A), voltage ratings (30V), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 105°C).

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes the same?

A: Yes. Both connectors use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and nickel-plated steel shells.

Q: What is the significance of the AMPLIMITE .050 III series designation?

A: This designation indicates the connector series, pitch specification (0.050 inch), and generation (III). Both parts belong to this same series, confirming dimensional and functional compatibility.

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

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 105°C, supporting applications across this temperature range.

Q: Are these connectors shielded?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature shielding for signal integrity and electromagnetic interference mitigation.

Q: What termination method do these connectors use?

A: Both connectors use solder termination for permanent board-level attachment through through-hole mounting.

Q: Do these connectors meet flammability standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors carry a UL94 V-0 material flammability rating.
