Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies 787AM8 Accelerometer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 787AM8 is an active IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) accelerometer manufactured by Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, designed for single-axis motion sensing applications. This X-axis accelerometer operates within a ±80g acceleration range and delivers analog voltage output across a 0.5Hz to 10kHz bandwidth. The device maintains Active product status and is RoHS Compliant, making it suitable for industrial vibration monitoring and condition-based maintenance systems. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific mounting configuration requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 787AM8 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following matching criteria:

Primary Equivalence Parameters:

• Acceleration measurement range: ±80g
• Sensitivity output: 100 mV/g
• Frequency bandwidth: 0.5Hz ~ 10kHz
• Supply voltage range: 18V ~ 30V
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 120°C
• Output type: Analog Voltage
• Measurement axis: X Axis
• Product status: Active
• RoHS compliance status

The 787A is identified as a parametric equivalent to the 787AM8. Both devices share identical electrical specifications, acceleration range, sensitivity, bandwidth, supply voltage, and operating temperature parameters. The primary difference between these parts is the mounting type: the 787AM8 utilizes a Connector mounting configuration, while the 787A employs a Chassis Mount configuration. This distinction affects physical installation methodology but does not alter electrical performance or signal characteristics.
