Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 787394-8 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the D-Sub connector category. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• 80-position configuration
• 2-row layout
• 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing
• 1A current rating
• 30V voltage rating
• Solder termination
• Gold contact finish
• Shielded design

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Receptacle, female socket connector type
• Right-angle mounting orientation
• Through-hole termination capability
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C

Compliance Considerations:

• RoHS compliance status
• REACH regulatory status
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Parts meeting these parameters are classified as direct equivalents or similar alternatives suitable for component selection in applications requiring 80-position D-type receptacle connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent: TE Connectivity 5787394-8

The 5787394-8 is a direct equivalent to the 787394-8, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 80-position configuration, 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing, 1A current rating, 30V voltage rating, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: the 5787394-8 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the 787394-8 is RoHS non-compliant. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are part of the AMPLIMITE .050 III series. Selection of the 5787394-8 is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS-compliant components or when inventory availability is a consideration (989 units in stock versus 809 units).

Similar Alternative: 3M N10280-52E2PC

The 3M N10280-52E2PC is a similar alternative offering 80-position receptacle configuration with right-angle solder termination and shielded design. This connector differs in mounting type (panel mount versus board edge), connector style classification (outer shroud contacts versus D-type), and series designation (102, Mini D Ribbon versus AMPLIMITE .050 III). The N10280-52E2PC is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. This alternative is suitable for applications where panel mount configuration is acceptable and where the 3M connector series is compatible with existing design specifications. Higher inventory availability (1586 units) may support supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5787394-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 787394-8?

A: Yes. The 5787394-8 is a direct equivalent sharing all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 80-position configuration, 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing, 1A current rating, 30V voltage rating, solder termination, and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the key difference between the 787394-8 and 5787394-8?

A: Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical. The 5787394-8 is RoHS Compliant, while the 787394-8 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for your application.

Q: Is the 3M N10280-52E2PC compatible with the 787394-8?

A: The N10280-52E2PC shares the 80-position configuration, solder termination, and shielded design. However, it differs in mounting type (panel mount versus board edge) and connector style classification. Compatibility depends on whether your application can accommodate panel mount configuration and the 3M connector series specifications.

Q: What mounting differences exist between the 787394-8 and N10280-52E2PC?

A: The 787394-8 features board edge, through-hole, right-angle mounting. The N10280-52E2PC features panel mount, through-hole, right-angle mounting. Board edge mounting is suitable for edge-card applications, while panel mount is suitable for chassis or enclosure mounting.

Q: Are all three connectors rated for the same electrical specifications?

A: The 787394-8 and 5787394-8 share identical electrical ratings: 1A current, 30V voltage, and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature. The N10280-52E2PC does not specify current and voltage ratings in the provided data; electrical compatibility must be confirmed against application requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The 787394-8 and 5787394-8 are supplied in tube packaging. The N10280-52E2PC is supplied in box packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and inventory management procedures.

Q: Which connector has the highest inventory availability?

A: The 3M N10280-52E2PC has the highest inventory with 1586 units in stock, followed by the 5787394-8 with 989 units, and the 787394-8 with 809 units.
