Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: TE Connectivity 292304 Series

The TE Connectivity 292304 series (parts 292304-1, 292304-2, 292304-3, 292304-4, 292304-5) represents the optimal substitution path for the obsolete 787780-2. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier as the original component, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility. All variants are in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability. The 292304 series provides full RoHS compliance (either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant), addressing regulatory requirements that the original 787780-2 does not meet.

Selection within 292304 Series:

292304-2 and 292304-3: Recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance with highest inventory levels (309,675 and 3,852 units respectively)
292304-1 and 292304-4: Suitable for RoHS Compliant requirements with adequate inventory
292304-5: ROHS3 Compliant variant with gold contact finish and 3,683 units in stock

Secondary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC UE27BC54130

The Amphenol ICC UE27BC54130 provides cross-manufacturer equivalence with enhanced current rating (1.5A versus 1A per contact). This part is ROHS3 Compliant and maintains the required mechanical mounting characteristics. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, which is narrower than the original -55°C to 85°C specification. This part is suitable for applications where the reduced low-temperature operating range is acceptable and higher current capacity is beneficial.

Tertiary Recommendation: Molex 067068 Series

The Molex 067068 series (parts 0670687041, 0670688000, 0670688001, 0670689000) offers functional equivalence with 1.5A current rating and ROHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C, which represents a significant restriction compared to the original specification. These parts are suitable only for applications operating within this narrower temperature window. Part 0670689000 features white insulation color as a distinguishing characteristic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 292304 series directly replace the 787780-2 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The 292304 series maintains identical mechanical dimensions, mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), contact configuration (4 positions), and termination method (solder). No PCB layout changes are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary advantage of upgrading from 787780-2 to the 292304 series?

A: The 292304 series is in active production status with full RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 787780-2 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. This ensures long-term supply availability and regulatory compliance for new designs and production runs.

Q: Are there performance differences between the TE Connectivity 292304 variants?

A: The five 292304 variants (292304-1 through 292304-5) are electrically and mechanically identical. Differences exist only in contact finish specifications (Gold or Gold-Palladium versus Gold) and RoHS certification status (RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant). Selection should be based on regulatory requirements and contact material specifications for your application.

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC UE27BC54130 be used in applications requiring -55°C operation?

A: No. The UE27BC54130 has a minimum operating temperature of -40°C, which does not meet the original -55°C specification. This part is suitable only for applications with operating temperatures of -40°C and above.

Q: What is the significance of the 1.5A current rating on the Amphenol and Molex alternatives compared to the 1A rating of the 787780-2?

A: The higher current rating indicates greater current-carrying capacity per contact. This is a beneficial characteristic that allows these parts to handle higher current loads. However, if your application is designed for 1A per contact, the 1.5A rating does not require design changes and provides additional design margin.

Q: Are the Molex 067068 series parts suitable for industrial temperature range applications?

A: No. The Molex 067068 series has an operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C, which is significantly narrower than the original 787780-2 specification of -55°C to 85°C. These parts are suitable only for commercial temperature range applications and are not recommended for industrial or extended temperature applications.

Q: What packaging format is used for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts listed are supplied in Tray packaging, consistent with standard connector distribution formats for through-hole components.

Q: Is there a difference in shielding effectiveness between the original 787780-2 and the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain shielded construction with copper alloy shell material and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, identical to the original specification. Shielding effectiveness is equivalent across all listed alternatives.

Q: Can I mix different variants of the 292304 series within the same assembly?

A: Yes. All 292304 variants are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Mixing variants within a single assembly does not create compatibility issues, though procurement best practice typically standardizes on a single part number per design.

Q: What is the REACH compliance status of the substitute parts?

A: TE Connectivity 292304-2 and 292304-4 are REACH Unaffected. The Amphenol ICC UE27BC54130 and all Molex 067068 series parts are REACH Unaffected. TE Connectivity 292304-1, 292304-3, and 292304-5 have Vendor Undefined REACH status. For applications requiring confirmed REACH compliance, parts with REACH Unaffected status are recommended.
