787A-M12-D2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 787A-M12-D2 is an IEPE accelerometer manufactured by Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, designed for single-axis motion sensing applications. This analog motion sensor measures acceleration along the X-axis with a measurement range of ±80g and operates across a bandwidth of 0.5Hz to 10kHz. The device is currently in active production status and maintains full RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across acceleration range, sensitivity, bandwidth, supply voltage, operating temperature, and mounting specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 787A-M12-D2 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

Electrical Parameters:

• Acceleration measurement range: ±80g
• Sensor sensitivity: 100 mV/g
• Frequency bandwidth: 0.5Hz ~ 10kHz
• Output signal type: Analog Voltage
• Supply voltage range: 18V ~ 30V

Mechanical & Environmental Parameters:

• Measurement axis: X-Axis
• Mounting configuration: Chassis Mount
• Package format: Module
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 120°C

Compliance & Status:

• Product status: Active
• RoHS compliance requirement: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity classification: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Substitution is valid only when all parameters listed above remain identical between the main part and the candidate substitute. Variations in any single parameter disqualify a part from substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 787A substitute for the 787A-M12-D2 in all applications?

A: Yes. The 787A meets all parametric equivalence criteria for the 787A-M12-D2, including acceleration range (±80g), sensitivity (100 mV/g), bandwidth (0.5Hz ~ 10kHz), supply voltage (18V ~ 30V), operating temperature (-55°C ~ 120°C), and mounting type (Chassis Mount). Both parts are Active status and RoHS Compliant.

Q: Are there differences in sensitivity tolerance between these parts?

A: The 787A is specified with 100 mV/g ±5% sensitivity tolerance. The 787A-M12-D2 sensitivity specification is listed as 100 mV/g without explicit tolerance notation in the provided data. Both parts maintain the same nominal sensitivity value and bandwidth characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture control during handling or storage. This classification applies identically to both the 787A-M12-D2 and 787A.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the full operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 787A-M12-D2 and 787A operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 120°C, supporting applications requiring extended thermal performance.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these motion sensors?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching acceleration range, sensitivity (mV/g), bandwidth, output type, supply voltage, operating temperature range, mounting type, package configuration, axis orientation, product status, and compliance certifications. All these parameters must be identical between parts.
