Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 787526-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Blade Sockets
• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination Method: Solder
• Number of Rows: 1
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Insulation Material: Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS)
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Features: Board Guide
• Color: Black
• Packaging: Tube

Variable Parameters (Application-Dependent):

• Current Rating (Amps)
• Operating Temperature Range
• RoHS Compliance Status
• Product Status

The substitute part 5787526-1 maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility across all mandatory parameters. Differences in current rating and operating temperature range reflect design variations within the MDI series that may be suitable depending on specific application requirements and environmental conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

787526-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring higher current capacity (7 A rating)
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) for extreme environment exposure
• Applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or not a regulatory requirement
• Designs with established qualification history on this specific part number

5787526-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance for regulatory or procurement mandates
• Designs operating within the -30°C to 70°C temperature range
• Applications with current requirements not exceeding 4 A
• Inventory availability considerations where 5787526-1 stock levels are higher (3466 pcs vs. 706 pcs)

Both parts maintain identical mechanical form factor, connector geometry, and mating interface characteristics. Selection between these parts is determined by compliance requirements, thermal operating conditions, and current load specifications of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5787526-1 be used as a direct replacement for 787526-1 in all applications?

A: No. The 5787526-1 substitute has a lower current rating (4 A vs. 7 A) and a narrower operating temperature range (-30°C to 70°C vs. -55°C to 105°C). Substitution is valid only when the application current requirement does not exceed 4 A and the operating environment remains within -30°C to 70°C.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility guarantees between these parts?

A: Both parts are mechanically identical. They share the same 6-position, 2.00mm pitch receptacle configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, push-pull fastening, and board guide features. Mating with corresponding blade connectors is fully compatible.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material sourcing standards, not electrical or mechanical performance. The contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold), and electrical characteristics remain equivalent between both parts.

Q: Are there packaging differences between 787526-1 and 5787526-1?

A: No. Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Inventory quantities differ (706 pcs for 787526-1 and 3466 pcs for 5787526-1), but packaging format is identical.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating for both parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage and handling do not require controlled humidity environments, and shelf life is not limited by moisture exposure.

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

A: Only 787526-1 is rated for the full -55°C to 105°C range. The 5787526-1 is limited to -30°C to 70°C. For applications exceeding 70°C, 787526-1 is the required selection.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute?

A: Substitution is based on matching all mandatory parameters: connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, termination method, contact materials, and physical form factor. Current rating and temperature range are application-dependent variables that may differ between substitute parts.
