Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 5787887-1 is functionally equivalent to the main part 787887-1 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are 200 position plug connectors with 4 rows and center strip contacts
• Electrical Interface: Both utilize through hole solder termination for identical PCB integration
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature mating side flanges and board lock functionality for identical mounting and retention
• Contact Specifications: Both employ gold-plated contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) finish thickness
• Series Designation: Both belong to the CHAMP .050 I series, ensuring dimensional and electrical compatibility

The primary distinction is product status: 787887-1 is obsolete while 5787887-1 is active, with enhanced compliance and additional board guide features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production: The substitute part 5787887-1 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 787887-1 while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The addition of board guide features in 5787887-1 provides enhanced mechanical stability during mating operations.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 787887-1 remains functionally equivalent for existing applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement. However, transition to 5787887-1 is recommended for long-term supply chain continuity.

Compliance Considerations: 5787887-1 meets ROHS3 requirements, making it suitable for applications subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 787887-1 and 5787887-1 mechanically interchangeable?
