Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 787886-1 and 5787886-1 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 200 position count, 4-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, board-to-board connectivity, center strip contact style, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, mating side flange, and MSL 1 rating.

The primary differentiators between these parts are:

1. Packaging Configuration: 787886-1 uses standard packaging while 5787886-1 is supplied in box packaging
2. Board Features: 5787886-1 includes both board guide and board lock features, whereas 787886-1 includes board lock only
3. RoHS Compliance: 787886-1 is RoHS non-compliant; 5787886-1 is ROHS3 compliant
4. Inventory Availability: 787886-1 has 684 pieces in stock; 5787886-1 has 1013 pieces in stock

Both parts maintain the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The REACH status is vendor undefined for both variants.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between 787886-1 and 5787886-1 depends on specific application and regulatory requirements:

Choose 787886-1 when:

• RoHS non-compliant applications are acceptable
• Standard packaging meets logistics requirements
• Board lock feature alone satisfies mechanical retention needs
• Immediate availability from current inventory is prioritized

Choose 5787886-1 when:

• ROHS3 compliance is mandated by application specifications or customer requirements
• Box packaging is required for supply chain or storage protocols
• Enhanced mechanical retention through combined board guide and board lock features is necessary
• Higher inventory availability provides supply chain advantages

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, contact characteristics, and board-to-board connectivity specifications. The selection decision is driven by regulatory compliance status, packaging requirements, and mechanical feature requirements rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 787886-1 and 5787886-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 200 position count, 4-row configuration, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, and solder termination method. Electrical performance and signal integrity characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between board lock and board guide features?

A: Board lock provides mechanical retention to prevent connector separation. Board guide provides additional alignment and positioning support during mating. The 5787886-1 includes both features while 787886-1 includes board lock only.

Q: Can 787886-1 be used in applications requiring ROHS3 compliance?

A: No. The 787886-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications with ROHS3 compliance requirements must use 5787886-1.

Q: Does packaging type affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging differences between standard and box configurations do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is based on supply chain, storage, and logistics requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for through-hole solder assembly?

A: Yes. Both 787886-1 and 5787886-1 are designed for through-hole solder termination and are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can the additional board guide feature in 5787886-1 be removed to match 787886-1?

A: No. The board guide feature is an integral part of the 5787886-1 design and cannot be removed. If board lock only is required, 787886-1 must be specified.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish quality between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent contact resistance and reliability characteristics.
