Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (Recommended Primary Substitutes):

The TE Connectivity 5787745-1 and 292323 series (292323-1, 292323-2, 292323-4, 292323-5) are the primary recommended substitutes for the obsolete 787617-4. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The 5787745-1 and 292323 variants are functionally interchangeable with the original part, featuring the same 8-position USB-A stacked receptacle configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, 1A per contact current rating, 30VAC voltage rating, and 1500 mating cycle rating. All recommended substitutes carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and board lock features.

TE Connectivity 5787617-4 Consideration:

The 5787617-4 is an active TE Connectivity part with USB 2.0 specification compliance and ROHS3 certification. This part differs from the main part in that it features only 1 port instead of 2 ports and uses steel/stainless steel shell material instead of copper alloy. This part is suitable only if single-port configuration is acceptable for the application.

TE Connectivity 1-1734084-1 and 1734084-2 Consideration:

These parametric equivalents maintain the 2-port configuration and shielded construction with board lock features. However, current rating, voltage rating, and mating cycle specifications are not provided in the technical data. These parts carry RoHS compliance and are active products. Selection of these parts requires confirmation of electrical performance specifications against application requirements.

Molex 0672983090 Cross-Manufacturer Alternative:

The Molex 0672983090 from the 67298 series provides a cross-manufacturer alternative with identical mechanical configuration (8-position USB-A stacked receptacle, right-angle through-hole, horizontal mounting, solder termination, board lock, 2 ports, shielded construction). This part features 1.5A current rating, exceeding the 1A requirement of the original part. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C, which is narrower than the original -55°C to 85°C specification. This part is suitable for applications operating within the 0°C to 50°C temperature window. The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Compliance and Certification Summary:

All recommended substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, matching the original part. The original 787617-4 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and production continuity. REACH status is either REACH Unaffected or Vendor Undefined across the substitute options, with no REACH non-compliance indicated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5787617-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 787617-4?

A: The 5787617-4 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 787617-4 for applications requiring single-port configuration. However, the 5787617-4 features only 1 port compared to the 2-port design of the original part. If the application requires 2 independent USB-A ports, the 5787617-4 is not suitable. For 2-port applications, use 5787745-1 or the 292323 series instead.

Q: What is the difference between the 292323 variants (292323-1 through 292323-5)?

A: The 292323 series variants are all USB 2.0 compliant, 8-position USB-A stacked receptacles with right-angle through-hole mounting and 2 ports. The primary differences are packaging format (Tray or unspecified) and insulation color. Variants 292323-1, 292323-2, 292323-4, and 292323-5 feature black insulation, while 292323-3 features natural insulation. All variants carry identical electrical specifications (1A per contact, 30VAC, 1500 mating cycles) and RoHS compliance. Selection among these variants depends on packaging requirements and insulation color specifications for the application.

Q: Is the Molex 0672983090 suitable for all applications using the 787617-4?

A: The Molex 0672983090 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 787617-4 for applications operating within the 0°C to 50°C temperature range. The original 787617-4 operates from -55°C to 85°C. If the application requires operation below 0°C or above 50°C, the Molex part is not suitable. For extended temperature range applications, use TE Connectivity substitutes (5787745-1 or 292323 series) which maintain the -55°C to 85°C operating range.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability for the 787617-4?

A: Substitutability is determined by the following critical parameters: USB-A stacked receptacle connector type, 8-position contact count, receptacle gender, through-hole right-angle mounting with horizontal orientation, solder termination, 2-port configuration, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, shielded construction, and board lock feature. Secondary parameters include operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), current rating (1A per contact minimum), voltage rating (30VAC minimum), and mating cycle rating (1500 minimum). Parts matching all critical parameters are considered direct substitutes.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 5787617-4 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 292323-1 and 292323-5 are supplied in Tray packaging. The 1-1734084-1, 1734084-2, 292323-2, 292323-3, and 292323-4 have unspecified packaging. The 0672983090 (Molex) is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement, handling, and storage requirements. Confirm packaging compatibility with your supply chain and assembly processes before finalizing part selection.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for substitute part selection?

A: The original 787617-4 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status. RoHS compliance is required for products sold in the European Union and many other markets. If your application or end-market requires RoHS compliance, all listed substitute parts satisfy this requirement. The 5787617-4, 5787745-1, and 0672983090 carry ROHS3 Compliant status, representing the most current RoHS directive compliance level.

Q: Can the 1-1734084-1 or 1734084-2 be used if electrical specifications are not fully documented?

A: The 1-1734084-1 and 1734084-2 have unspecified current rating, voltage rating, and mating cycle specifications in the provided technical data. These parts match the mechanical configuration and carry RoHS compliance. However, use of these parts requires independent verification that their electrical performance meets application requirements. For applications where complete electrical specification documentation is required, use the 5787745-1 or 292323 series, which provide full electrical parameter documentation.
