TE Connectivity 787441-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 787441-1 is a 5-position blade type power connector header designed for solder termination with through-hole, right-angle mounting. This connector is classified as a battery-style header with male blades and operates at 50V with a 7A current rating. The part is currently active in production and maintains 884 pieces in new original stock inventory.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when packaging requirements differ, or when compliance certifications must be updated for specific applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 787441-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (50V), current rating (7A), and contact material/finish specifications must be identical
• Mechanical Compatibility: Number of positions (5), pitch (5.00mm), connector type (header with male blades), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), and termination method (solder) must match exactly
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-30°C to 70°C) and insulation material (LCP) must be maintained
• Physical Characteristics: Connector style (battery), fastening type (push-pull), and color (black) must be consistent

The substitute part 5787441-1 meets all these criteria while differing only in packaging format (tray versus standard packaging) and regulatory compliance status (RoHS3 compliant versus non-compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

787441-1 (Primary Part): Select this part number when standard packaging is required and RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the application. This part maintains active production status with 884 pieces available in new original stock.

5787441-1 (Substitute Part): Select this part number when RoHS3 compliance is mandated by design specifications or regulatory requirements. This substitute offers identical electrical and mechanical performance with the added benefit of RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The tray packaging format is suitable for automated assembly processes. Inventory availability is higher at 2300 pieces.

Both parts are functionally interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The selection between them depends on compliance requirements and packaging preferences for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 787441-1 and 5787441-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical voltage ratings (50V), current ratings (7A), contact materials (brass with nickel finish), and insulation materials (LCP). They perform identically in electrical applications.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus tray) and regulatory compliance status. The 5787441-1 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the 787441-1 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected.

Q: Can I use 5787441-1 as a direct replacement for 787441-1?

A: Yes, from a functional standpoint. However, verify that your application requirements permit the use of RoHS3 compliant components. If RoHS compliance is required, 5787441-1 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does packaging affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Both parts have identical mechanical specifications: 5 positions, 5.00mm pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. Packaging differences (standard versus tray) do not affect connector performance or board-level compatibility.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify 5787441-1 if RoHS3 compliance is a design requirement. Both parts are active in production, but 5787441-1 offers higher inventory availability (2300 pieces versus 884 pieces) and improved regulatory compliance status.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-30°C to 70°C) and have the same moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: What does the tray packaging mean for 5787441-1?

A: Tray packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly processes. It provides better compatibility with high-volume manufacturing equipment compared to standard packaging formats.
